Month: December 2008

  • The Jury voted…

    …And Bob won!  That’s right Survivor fans, Bob won.  The oldest winner yet.  He was definitely one of my favorites this season and I think that he deserved winning.  Carrying on Yau Man’s tradition of the fake idol, Bob managed to dupe everyone not once, but twice!  And for those who missed it, he also…

  • Girl’s Weekend 2008

About a month ago Devin and I were doing our usual Saturday Costco cruise and we saw theses.  That’s right.  Sleds.  And we bought two.  I realized that we have lived here almost three years and not once…
