An eventful trip to Vancouver
This Saturday we took another quick trip up to Vancouver. We met up with a family I knew from my mission that had moved to Canada. It was fun to catch up on how they’ve been and find out all the news from the people I knew in the Philippines. It turns out there’s a […]

Adventure of olympic proportions!
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 […]
Our unmaintained garden
We don’t like to go out in the cold, so we abandoned our garden for the winter. This month has gifted us with a couple warm days so we checked up on our garden. Our garden has done surprisingly well! The compost we started a year and a half ago actually looks like compost! The […]
A series of unfortunate events
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 have a shoe thief!
Pixel discovered that there are spots under the arms of our couch that she can climb into where we can’t reach her. As such, she likes to steal our things and hide them in the couch. Her favorite things to hide are stress balls, scissors, and flip flops. She hides flip flops so often that […]
Deals, deals, deals! Deals all over the floor!
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 […]
Ferret stopper
Pixel seems to really get in trouble when she goes in the kitchen. She climbs into the dishwasher, gets behind the fridge and sometimes climbs under the cabinets. So to stop her from getting into the kitchen since we’ve had her, we set up a barricade consisting of lots of boxes, blankets, and anything else […]
Newest member of the Chin family!
Introducing the newest member of the Chin family! Pixel, our new pet ferret! We got her last Monday, but we first met her three weeks ago. We were walking around Petco looking at the animals until we saw the ferrets. There were five ferrets in the cage, but there was a white one that was […]
Party at the courthouse!
I spent all week serving on a jury panel and had a good time. Read about it at http://blog.boogly.net/2009/09/a-good-time-at-jury-duty/
Santa Fe Mexican Grill
We kept seeing on slickdeals an offer by restaurant.com where you can get $25 gift certificates for $2. We were hesitant to try this at first, but Eileen generously gave us a restaurant.com gift certificate. We decided to use it to go to Santa Fe Mexican Grill. When we walked in, we were impressed by […]
