Safety Net

I am embarrassed to admit that for the second or third time in my UNLV career, I came dangerously close to walking into the men's locker room at school. I am not certain as to why this keeps happening to me. I think it has something to do with the fact that the outer doors aren't exactly marked; there is just a huge overhead sign. Anyway, the locker rooms are set up so that you walk through one set of double doors into a little entry way and then another set of double doors leads you into the actual locker room. I have walked into the men's entry way part on a couple occasions. Lucky for me, once you walk into the entry way part of the women's locker room, "women's" is stenciled on the door in red paint. So, in my moments of absent-mindedness, I have been saved by the fact that the men's door is blank. Today I actually walked up to the outer men's locker room door, questioned myself as to whether I was walking into the men's locker room, decided that I had certainly not repeated my past error, walked in, and then realized my error. I walked back out and quickly scanned the hallway to see who had witnessed my moronic episode. There hadn't been anybody close, so I was able to quickly walk up to the women's locker room and duck in before facing anyone.

A Few Sugar Cookies Later

We used our new cookie cutters (from Santa last year) to make some sugar cookies this year. The gingerbread girls were the most problematic for some reason, so we only ended up with a few of them.



It would appear that Henri doesn't really liked having her picture taken. She didn't really help with the cookies anyway.



This was an extra special, handmade road runner cookie.

Happy Christmas Tree!

The liquor store had a nice sale for us right before Christmas.

Las Vegas Snow Days

You all probably saw the pictures of the snow at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, but here are some pictures from our condo during the snow. I still can't hardly believe it. I had seen a little snow here before, back when I lived in the stolen car drop zone, but it was never really a full blown snow storm. It was never quite as pretty. Hopefully I don't get used to this, since I am guessing it won't happen again anytime soon!







I figured out a way around the picture rotation problem, as you can see. It remains to be seen as to whether this helps me post more frequently this year.

Trying To Post

I was trying to post some pictures today, but for some reason, Blogger keeps rotating my pictures, and I can't figure out how to rotate them back to the correct orientation. I am giving up for now, although I am sure there is an easy fix to the problem. This has never happened to me before.

And I was going to start my 2009 "post more frequently" plan today too...foiled again...
