May be a bit late for Christmas....

but good gift ideas none-the-less from one of my favorite new sites this year, Inhabitat. I'm loving the plantable calendar pictured above.

Hmmmmm

Sometimes I find this scarier than Iran.

'Fun' Day at Sea

Surprise! Kyle managed to completely suprise me for my birthday. He told me we were heading to Galveston for a quick get-away weekend at a bed and breakfast to celebrate a bit early. When we arrived and couldn't check into the 'hotel' until 1pm, we went to eat lunch, during which he surprised me with a birthday card. The card informed me we were heading out on a 5 night cruise! Completely stunned. It was a gorgeous, relaxing week, all thanks to Kyle's planning!

San Diego

San Diego is just gorgeous! We spent the time with family there for Thanksgiving. Martha made the entire meal (minus a fried Turkey which was ordered) in Matt's apartment, and some quickly purchased dishes since hers which were mailed never arrived! We did a lot of hanging out with family, eating, football watching, beer drinking, and travelling around San Diego. We all wondered why we hadn't been out to see Matt sooner!

Happy Turkey Day

We're off enjoying the company of family, and giving thanks for that. Pictures to come.
Meanwhile, some more do or die news regarding the environment.
