I have been completely obsessed with this cheesecake from the Japanese supermarket.  I have to have at least one everyday!  I bought 10 on my last trip to Marukai.  Hopefully, I will get tired of them before I get sick from eating too many of them...

I gave Toby a bath today and noticed that at a young age of 3 and a half, Toby is turning gray!  Take a close look at his snout...it's all white!  I can't believe my little boy is turning gray...he'll probably be one of those dogs with a white face when he gets older.  So strange...

I went Christmas shopping today. I often get road-rage in mall parking lots so I wanted to avoid the post-Thanksgiving madness. But in doing so, I found out that if you shop the day before Thanksgiving, the mall stores offer even more savings! A store clerk told me that I got 20% off my purchases and would have only gotten 15% off on Friday! So I not only avoided all of the madness, I got first pickings of the products and I got a bigger discount. This will be my new annual tradition...Christmas shopping the day before Thanksgiving. I think I will use the day after Thanksgiving to decorate my house. :-)

Recently, a co-worker of mine got me interested in weblogs.  I didn't even know what weblogs were!  But she has a very cute blog for her two dogs, which I now read regularly.  She also got me interested in crafts.  I have always love making things but I didn't know so many people out there also love crafts.  So I've been browsing other people's weblogs on various crafts.  Just for fun, I made some chocolate chip cookies for a friend at work...look closely, it's felt.  Most of the women thought it's cute, most of the men asked "what do you do with them?"

I just decided that I can start a blog of my own too...just a creative outlet to put random pictures and other interesting things I happen to find or come up with.  This is all very new to me, so I'm not sure how often I will update this blog.  I guess I'll just wing it and base it all on "when I feel like it..."  Hey, it's supposed to be fun right?  So maybe I'll update it weekly, maybe bi-weekly, or maybe monthly.  We'll see...

Sorry for the bland page, it's only until I can come up with something nicer. :-)

Thanks for stopping by, below is a picture of Toby hiking in Santa Barbara.
