Trans Siberian and more

Mike and I went to Trans Siberian Orchestra last night. It was awesome. (Minus the 60ish year old drunk hippie guy sitting next to us with his wife who had to be 1/3 his age - they were both giving "rock fingers" throughout the concert - it as hilarious.)

I got in "trouble" for having my camera out. It was before the show though so I just put it away and it was no big deal. I hadn't seen the tickets until that night and didn't look at them then so I never saw the "no cameras" note but oh well, no harm done. Here is a picture I got from our seats though.



I also went out today to use my Christmas gift certificate from Mike's parents at the Green Elephant. I got a beautiful Mary Hadley Christmas platter and am so excited about it. The second picture is the giant bell I got at Potter's in Langley when we were at Mike's parent's house for Thanksgiving. It's hanging from the chandelier over our dining table.

Ick


I had heard great things about Starbucks Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate so I tried one two days ago and all I can say is 'ICK'! I don't recommend it. On the plus side, they had run out of whipped cream sand the lady felt so bad that she gave me a coupon for a free drink so technically, I didn't really pay for the yucky hot chocolate.

Fact: We're Addicted


After months and months of hearing from friends and coworkers how awesome 'The Office' is we finally started watching it from Season 1. We have Netflix and you can watch episodes instantly over the internet and since our t.v. is hooked up to the internet, it works really well. We'll see how quickly we can catch up...

We're not sure which is more entertaining, Jim's faces and the pranks he and Pam play on Dwight or Dwight and Michael's ignorance and stupidity. Either way, it's a funny show and we've enjoyed spending the time together watching and laughing.
