When I first started blogging, Aaron started a blog too. His blog eventually became rather neglected... much to my dismay. He just didn't show an interest in blogging.
He says he has a renewed interest in blogging because he has found his topic... getting his Smart Car. He now has a blog called smartcar a (the a=aaron). I am as excited about his new blog as I am about his new Smart Car on it's way!
I watched the St. Patrick's Day parade downtown today with Tina and Lauren (who is quite the flag waver). Even my friend Tom showed up with his kids in the chilly afternoon. We were there to see this...
Another
year has passed and so I have added another year to our New Years
Day tradition. I took a picture of each of us in front of my
grandma's fridge after lunch.
Apparently,
Oscar and Stewie did not get the memo regarding wearing their glasses
this year.
I love going to holiday
parties. Last weekend was Aaron's office holiday party. Funny story. We
were told we won in a drawing and our prize was over on the tv table.
The table that holds the grand prize flat screen tv that is.
Turns out our prize was a
giant wooden animatrontic toy soldier. Not the big flat screen tv.
*sigh*
The toy soldier is almost as big as me and when I am
home alone I see it out of the corner of my eye and it scares the wits
out of me. Must go. I think Aaron is going to sell it on eBay.
Does this look weird to you? A few weeks ago I came home from work to find
this scene in my living room, all three of them perched on the couch... Oscar and
Stewie staring straight ahead... Aaron seemingly oblivious. It just
seems odd. I am convinced that I have a strange cat, a strange dog...
and most likely though not apparent in this photo, a strange husband.
Today was Aaron's birthday and we went to the Naples
Grape Festival. The best thing I found there was candy apple
with a GRAPE candy coating. They called them grapples. Not to be
confused the the grapples
I have written about here before.
By the way... if you put a singing sparkling candle on
someone's birthday cake, be sure you don't have other candles on the
cake that the singing sparking candle may pop open and be melted by.
Heh heh.
Today we met up with Shruti who was here for a conference. We toured the USS Constitution. Old Ironsides is actually where Aaron is working these two weeks for Naval Reserves duty. Apparently he is getting his picture taken a lot.
Kodak Gallery Scan Van came to our office building this week! The Scan Van is equipped with high speed Kodak scanners that can scan pictures in seconds. It is amazing how fast they work. I had two hundred pictures scanned in ten minutes, and that is with stopping to tape small pictures to a larger piece of paper, wiping off the scanner after my dusty pictures went through and color correcting a few pictures. After they are scanned they are uploaded to the Kodak Gallery.
If you have shoeboxes full of pictures, the Scan Van is the answer to your prayers.
I had a lot of fun looking though my albums and pulling out pictures (no shoeboxes for my pictures) Here are pictures of myself and Aaron as babies. We were both pretty tubby, but I think I win the best hair prize.
Me in my natural element... behind a birthday cake. Aaron grinning away as usual.
I had a few of my parents and family. This is my dad when he was a little boy and a group shot of my mom with her mom and her siblings.
Here one of my parents when they were dating... heh heh and one of my mother with her sisters on the day she left Korea to come to America.
I am so glad I have these images digitized now. I only wish I had more pictures that are at my parents house to take to the Scan Van. You can see more of the pictures I had scanned in my Gallery.
I'm not sure where the Scan Van will be next but when I hear where it will be going I will post it here.
Aaron and I ran the Corporate Challenge last evening. It is
really more of a big social event than a race.
I designed our company t-shirt again this year. It didn't win,
but I think it turned out really nice. Aaron isn't wearing his company
t-shirt in the picture because theirs was long sleeved and the
weather was H - O - T!
This evening I was puttering around the house when
Aaron came running inside. He was supposed to be at scooter
club (Negative
Image Scooter Club)... and he was... he just brought them all
to our house.
I hopped on and we were off. If you think you get some stares
zipping along on a scooter... try it with a gang of 15 scooters.
It was so much fun. I shot some more videos... this one and a
couple more here.
I am looking forward to going to Sit & Knit this week.
Between traveling and concerts I haven't been in awhile.
Since Aaron usually comes with me I like to encourage him to
do something crafty too. He did make a stupid
sock creature a bit ago.
I think he should try knitting too. And I saw just the book
for him. Men
Who Knit & the Dogs Who Love Them. Could that be
anymore perfect? I totally think he and Oscar need matchy matchy
knitted sweaters!
It's hard to ignore all the Easter Stuff in the stores already. I love bunnies and they are everywhere. I spotted these bunny suits in the Easter aisles at Target.
Aaron looks disgusted because I was suggesting we get one for him to wear for Easter Sunday. I made him stand next to it to see if it was long enough. That's one big Easter bunny!
Part of Aaron's job is to do special events and today I got to go to one. Today, Ming Tsai came to Pittsford Wegmans to demonstrate a few of his recipes and sign books. We also got to taste the recipes... yum!
Ming has three cooking shows, three cookbooks and a restaurant in Boston called Blue Ginger. I especially like the show "Ming's Quest" because he goes to out of the way spots to get ingredients for his dishes and then cooks it on location. He is funny on the show but he is even funnier and more engaging in person.
Ming always uses Kyrocera Knives and TruBamboo cutting boards. I was tempted to buy one of each for him to sign along with the books.
(By the way... Aaron and I did not plan on being matchy matchy)
