Happy Pi Day!

...and I'm not referring to the the yummy apple kind! For all my other obsure math people today is Pi Day (3/14). While there is not a Pi Dance maybe I will have some pie! *wink**wink*
Enjoy!

Here's to the double XX!

...chromosomes that is not the beer! It's International Women's Day! Yay to being a woman!

Mobile Blog! Hi all, I'm coming to you from my phone, how exciting! Look for more posts to come!

Happy Square Root Day!

Happy Square Root Day folks! Being somewhat of an obscure person, I like to celebrate the totally obscure and slightly mundane things in life, so in that fashion I am celebrating Square Root Day today. I have taken off work and everything (actually I took off work for a rainy field trip to the zoo, but let's pretend) so at exactly 3:39PM (that's west coast time) I will be doing my Square Root Dance! I am not certain yet how the Square Root Dance goes but I'll be doing one and I invite you to dance with me. Since I know you must be dying for more info. about Square Root Day you can find that here.

Celebrate well, for there won't be another one until 2016!
Happy Day!

**UPDATE**

The Square Root Dance was a success! It turned out something like the Cabbage Patch mixed with the Carlton (from Fresh Prince of Bel Air days)!

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2009!


I rang in the new year in style, in downtown San Francisco. One of my girlfriends from work has a brother with a stylish 3 level loft style apartment a couple of blocks from AT&T park, where the Giants play, and we were lucky enough to be invited to stay the night there. There were about 10 of us total, some work friends and others, and we all had a great time celebrating together. We had a nice dinner at Momo's Restaurant and then went on to the Regency Center where they were having a NYE party. I felt very "city girl" walking around and hailing cabs. It was very fun! The next day we got up and had lunch at The Grove, a quaint little place in SF that had a constant stream of people coming and going. It was very eclectic, with a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options and we had to practically stalk customers that were finishing so that we would have a place to sit. After a long day we finally got around and drove back to Sacramento. Now it is time to finish unpacking and get ready to go back to work, Ugh! Didn't make any resolutions this year, just hoping to make the best of whatever comes my way and enjoy every minute of it!

Magical Christmas Sweater

I heart the Christmas season! Especially all the fun parties and decorations. Last night I attended a Magical Christmas Sweater Party that one of my friends hosted and we had a great time! Everyone was to bring out the most festive Christmas sweater and accessories they could come up with. I decided to craft my own sweater at the last minute (about 2hrs before the party) and then ended up winning the Ugliest Sweater Contest! Just goes to show what a little glue and some tinsel can do for you! I topped the entire outfit off with a Christmas lights hair bow that I borrowed from my 5-yr old cousin and some knee high "I Heart Santa" socks! I don't know what everyone was making a big deal about...I wear this outfit all the time! :)


In case you are wondering, you too can have your very own Christmas Tree sweater for the introductory low, low price of ONLY $19.95! Place your order now to guarantee delivery by Christmas Eve! :)

We also had to bring a White Elephant gift to share with everyone. I was under the impression that this meant really awful gag gifts, however, I must have been mistaken because mostly everything was pretty decent. I chose to bring my empty toothpaste container, toothbrush and contacts holder. I felt really bad when all the gifts were being opened and everyone had usable gifts, then came mine! Aah! There also wasn't a whole lot of stealing gifts, people were being really nice. I first stole someone's Santa Claus Mr. Potato Head, then someone traded the iPod speakers they had gotten for the Mr. Potato Head. So in the end I went home with a small set of iPod speakers. Luckily we had some people leave early so the person who received my awful gift was able to trade and get something better. What a relief!

BTW- notice who has FINALLY joined this century and is able to immediately post pictures from a digital camera. That would be ME! I finally broke down and bought a little FujiFilm FinePix digital camera so I can carry it around with me easily and not have to wait for my film to be developed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Another one has now come and is almost gone and I have so much to be thankful for. For one my Adopt-A-Family (aka cousins mother in law and her friends) so graciously welcomed me into their home for another Thanksgiving spent away from mine and created a wonderful gourmet meal for us all to share. We had a lovely evening with a slightly smaller crowd than I have been around for many other holidays but still very lively. I have been slightly under the weather with a stomach bug and cold so I slept in most of the morning and then finally got my day started. I was able to catch a few minutes of the UT/A&M game however not really being a big football fan I really didn't watch long. I am now curled up next to my roaring radiator and trying to figure out what movie I will watch until I fall asleep. All's well and I am blessed with each day so what more could I ask for! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day filled with love and many memories and of course lots of turkey!
