Yeah, I’m late! Whee! Here’s part 2. Things I’ve run into during the second half of December. Coming soon – January. Promise. All photos taken either with my HTC EVO or Canon point & shoot.
When I was a kid, I had a sea monkey zoo. Then they died. I found these at Big Lots and was oh so tempted to keep another tank at work. If they’re really brine shrimp, how can they “survive” as dry eggs for months before someone comes by and begins the cycle? I’m confused.

I was walking up the street from the office for some grub and ran into this old time gas station! I wonder if anyone’s already scouted it for tv shoots or commercials. It’d be neat to have a still-working station here.

Christmas was coming around and I was hoping to pick up some really cheap earphones for work. I mean, like $5 cheap. Instead, I saw these! Un/fortunately, I already have a bluetooth earpiece for my phone, so I skipped it.

Holy Triinity at my desk - coffee, water, lotion
We had a department holiday party at the fancy bowling alley nearby. What struck me as comical was the continuous loop of holiday music videos this place managed to run. I don’t remember who was on the monitor in this picture, but I know I found it amusing…

The good wife took me to Baskin-Robbins one night after dinner and treated me to some ice cream. 20 years ago, I remember being introduced to Jamoca Almond Fudge. TWENTY years ago!

These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Hands down. On Tuesdays, it’s their fish taco day. On Thursdays, I believe their tacos are 99-cents apiece. BARGAIN LUNCH. You have to try these at Tacos Enseneda.

You gotta see this in person to appreciate it. Friends decorated Joanne’s door for Christmas. Awwwwwwesome. I have a better picture somewhere, but the best part was when our other friend’s BF filmed her unwrapping her door. Nerd orgasm? Yes. I’d like my future front door of my future house to be just like this. Not sure if the wife would go for it, but it would be so awesome!!

One of my best friends’ kid was turning four and I walked into the Disney Store to see if there was something I could get for said kid. I texted my friend a picture of these and asked if Kid would like them. Hah! Friend said “No, she’s not into Princesses, she likes Dora and Nick Jr.” Sweet. But check these out – they’re giant sized dolls. They look more normal than the usual Barbies that I’d be ok with buying one of these for some kid.

The wife covers his face whenever I try to get a picture of him with my phone. So I got this one instead. We were at a game on New Year’s Eve, and they gave out New Year’s crowns.

Well there you go. I have a few more pics I want to share for December but will have to post them separately. On to January!
