Another Black Friday has come and gone, and we have some stories to tell. The in-person Black Friday shopping was disappointing, but we got some sweet deals online (I’ll talk about those at the end of this post). We wanted to buy some things from Wal*Mart, but apparently so did everybody else. The freeway was [...]
It was raining dogs and cats today so I guess that means one thing: Summer is officially over and our Northwest Autumn weather has returned . We had a pretty eventful summer this year! Main highlights: 1) We took a big Chau family vacation to Florida 2) Jon got his hands on a $99 HP [...]
It’s that time of the year again–deal time!! We decided to do a warm-up run before Black Friday just to brush up on our skills. Then we did our infamous Black Friday series; and we even added some more deals that we don’t normally do: food! We actually didn’t have anything we really wanted to [...]
We took a trip to Las Vegas for my cousin’s wedding. It was a really fun trip, but the heat and dust was ridiculous. We found ourselves planning out where we were going based on where there would be air conditioning and how hot it would be. We decided to try some fancy hotels out [...]
Well, I’m officially old. I turned 24 yesterday and as usual Jon planned a great birthday surprise for me. I was totally in the dark this time and my closest guess for what he planned wasn’t even remotely close. We drove up North about an hour where Jon had found a KANGAROO FARM!!!! It was the strangest [...]
Last week our friend Susan came up to see the Olympics with us! We woke up early, drove up to Vancouver, perused the scene, saw the women’s curling event, and drove home so we could go to work the next day. Here are the pictures. We waited in a HUGE line for about an hour [...]
I’ve had three embarrassing and very painful experiences this past week. So I figured I’d share it in this blog so at least somebody will be entertained at my expense. While we were in Idaho for the holidays, we went to a Thai restaurant with family. One of the things we ordered was a soup [...]
We had an uber-successful shopping season this year! About a week ago, we found a 24″ LCD full HD monitor for $170 with free shipping on the Dell Outlet website. Thanks to Twitter, I found a $20 coupon. So we got a humongous 24″ monitor for watching movies and viewing recipes while we’re cooking in [...]
We took a little vacation the week before Thanksgiving this year. Our friend Susan visited us from Provo so we decided to have a little adventure. We headed North on Sunday with our luggage and a bag of goldfish crackers. Good thing we had them or we would have starved! First we caught the Edmonds-Kingston [...]
Last week was my birthday and Jon took me to do a ton of fun things! We started the day with some yummy yummy dim sum! We went to this really good place called Jade Garden in the International district. It got really good reviews on Yelp! and they were all right on the dot. [...]
