New Year's Eve...
Came home from work around 4:30. The head cold finally was subsiding a bit and my voice was starting to come back as well. One of my female co-workers had commented I sounded less manly and like my old self. (Come to think of it, that could be kind of insulting taken the wrong way, so it is a good thing I am very manly and do many masculine, testosterone filled activities...) Anyway, Sharkey and I didn't have any set plans because she knew I was under the weather and we had just come back from the frozen Midwest, but it's New Years Eve, so we just couldn't stay home. I went to OpenTable.com and was able to get a table at the Cedar Hollow Inn for 7:00pm. If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done right?
Watched the ball drop on ABC. Always watch the ball drop and I do admire Dick Clark for doing the show post stroke, but um...I totally did not need to see him lock lips with his wife with the Judy Jetson hairdo. Yeah, totally did not need that image going into 2009!
New Year's Day...
Cooked Japanese food most of the day. New Year is a big deal for Asians. Trust me, it even applies to us bananas (banana=yellow on the outside, white on the inside). So I made some Japanese Lo Mein. It is sort of a misnomer, because as everyone knows, Lo Mein is a Chinese and not Japanese dish. But this dish is a family dish which is only made at certain times of the year and my Mom was kind enough to pass the recipe to me, so I have taken up the mantle. It's pretty good. It requires lots and lots of prep work (mainly chopping) and relatively short cooking time, and it is always better the next day. Since Sharkey and I were in MN for Christmas, we had not gotten together with my family, so I was making the food for Friday.
First Monday Thoughts for the New Year...
Back to work...
When's the next holiday?
Crap, graduate school starts up next week again. Man I cannot wait to finish that Master's degree
Where should Sharkey and I try to get away to for a vacation during the winter?
Oh Memphis Belle is on. That's one of my all time favorite movies.
Golf league starts in 3 months, whooo hooo!!
Watching "Diner's Drive In's and Dives." Geeze Guy, this show is going to kill you. How can you eat all that fat and grease all the time?

I was thinking about suggesting Vancouver but you were probably thinking more along the lines of tropical and nice save a winter Vancouver trip for the 2010 Olympics or something. I'll totally show you around.
Costa Rica? Vegas? South Africa?
You sounded less manly? Wow...being from the land of fruits and nuts, I don't think I would have taken that well.
Memphis Belle is one of those movies I can watch over andover again.
Are you looking for warm vacation or just vacation?
kranki We were thinking someplace warm, but when the Olympics are in Vancouver, you will definitely be seeing us then!
bogart Yes, when she said that I went back to my desk and cried a bit...
william Warm, definitely warm
