Donna discovered the joys of 30-calorie, fat-free ReadyWhip on top of sugar-free pudding. She gets quite creative when the sweet tooth kicks in and there's no dessert in the house.

Nothing says love like a $60 hollow-pin Sram bike chain - picked this up for Donna and now I'm wishing I had one!

Oohhh, shiny new bike parts... on Donna's bike, that is.

Sunday's road ride to the beach

Thanks to all the holiday food I haven't felt too motivated to get out on the bike. Donna helped tremendously with the whole motivation thing and we got out for a great ride to the coast.

Me and my OWLE Bubo

Donna got me the OWLE Bubo for Christmas this year (it's an accessory for the iPhone 3Gs) so I took it to the beach tonight for a test drive. So far, so good. I love how it expands the video capabilities of the phone.

CHRISTMAS 2009

We had a good Christmas this year... maybe not as good as the last one which we were able to spend with family, but we're very blessed. The video tells the rest of the story, except for the awesome prime rib with au jus and creamy horseradish sauce that Donna made for dinner, along with the mashed potatoes with sour cream and cheese and the asparagus. Dinner was fantastic!

Am I the only one who still does this?

REALLY, I hate ruining surprises and I love just waiting til Christmas morning. Hopefully I'll sleep in tomorrow morning and not wake up at the crack of dawn.

Great day for a H1N1 vaccination!

Found a great Jewish deli in Newbury Park. After I saw this monster half-sandwich, I was glad I hadn't ordered one of their triple deckers!

I just realized I never posted a photo of my first solo turkey!
