Today was HOT in San Francisco. It's been real nice having the sun back after all the rain we've been having. It almost as if I was in Seattle or Vancouver. Anyways I hope that it doesn't rain this saturday, I think I will take my mom out shopping again (no I'm not buying anything, with the 2 trips alone this year is really tapping me out) Don't know where to go though, Maybe the Napa outlets or the ones from Folsom.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Another thing, I finally bought my ticket, for Vancouver, today. Not bad got it for under $200 so I think I got a good deal. I guess constant vigilance pays off, considering that I checked how much the fare was yesterday and it was mid 300 dollars.
Now if we can only find a cheaper fare for Brazil.......

Rain Rain and more rain
I hate the rain. It's pouring crazy right now and I just know that I'm gonna have a bad commute tomorrow morning. Oh well I better get to sleep early and just give myself a headstart.
I better get home soon.
I better get home soon.

Good eats....etc.
Well we had a BBQ at work today to celebrate our center for having a solid safety picture for the last quarter. We have reduced injuries by 60% compared to the same time last year and we have reduced accidents by 73%. I say that's a cause for a little celebration. So we had bbq'ed some some tri-tip steaks, prawns sauteed with garlic sauce, louisiana hot links, potato salad, green salad, blueberry and apple pies and chocolate cakes for dessert. I say it was a damn good BBQ dinner. I can't wait for the next one. I was thinking that if we would go six months without an accident and injury, I think either a day at SBC park for a giants game or Family day at Great America sounds nice. Which one do you think is better?
VJ from Vancouver also gave me a surprise phone call tonight. He was confirming if Ledge is actually going there in June. I said yes so he said that Ledge and I can stay at his beautiful house. WooHoo, I love staying with them, they are so hospitable and so kind. Plus Emily is so cute. I also told him that Mur and Laurie wanted to stay at his house and so they will (if they still want to).

Brazil update
Well, my mgr finally approved my vacations and I can now join the group for Brazil.
woo-hoo. Now to work some overtime hours to help pay for this endeavor.
It's been nice to spend some time with my mom. Although I'm working, it's cool to know that when I get home she will be there and she and I can talk about my nice and new nephew (for those that know my brother, he just had a baby boy). So now I have to drive my mom around so she can buy stuff for them. Maybe we'll head out to babies r'us and get some baby stuff.
It sucks that it's been raining a lot lately. It put a damper on our plans to have a massive BBQ for work. We have just achieved 1 month of no accident/injuries. I know it's only a month, but when you consider we put out about 80 drivers a day and they drive on the avg of 33 miles a day and handle about 300-700 pkgs a day, that's a big deal. Do congrats to my fellow Upsers, may the rain stop falling and the sun starts shining, and our bellies be filled with steaks and cranberries. Raise the glass (afterwork that is).
Peace out.

Brazil update
I just found out that I'm the cutoff guy for the second wave of the vacation bidding. Meaning there's 19 people ahead of me that can easily bump me off the weeks needed in aug. So keep your fingers and legs crossed and pray that I get 'em.
Peace out

Well, I'm happy to say that my mom is here. She arrived last sunday and will be staying here 'til april. So that's cool.
Well for my fellow likha performers, I just got my vacation bid sheet and judging by the schedule, there's a good chance that I just might get the weeks needed for the Brazil trip. It's not gonna be etched in stone until my manager signs off on it so keep your fingers crossed that I get it. Now if I can only find a way to pay for the trip.....
time to watch the Incredibles DVD. See ya.

Rondalla fraktis
well, it's friday and it's time for rondalla practice and here I am outside the chateau but I don't think anyone is home yet. so here I am blogging in my car.
This week has been so fraking HOT, I think we were in the high 80's all week long. It's been a nice change from all the rain that we've been having all winter long. It's good to have the sun back shining again. Time to bust out the shorts and tanktops.
