Junk in the Trunk

First a disclaimer. Don't try this at home. I am a professional. You should not put yourself or anyone else into any trunk. EVER. In the rare event that you do find yourself in a trunk please know that all US cars must have an emergency release handle. Most of these handles glow in the dark. Like I said, I am a professional.

This week's CornerView is all about our own personal style. As you can see by the jeans and hoodie I am not very stylish. That's were the Dodge Charger comes in, it is one sexy beast. If I were in the market for a new car it would be at the top of my short list. How does this work for this weeks CornerView theme you ask? Technically the Charger is wearing me but I think that is close enough. For more CornerView's click here.

Das Auto Show

Tomorrow the tradition continues. I can't remember the last time I didn't go to the Utah International Auto Expo and that's just the way I like it! Although this year my brother, my usual partner in crime is AWOL. He will be missed, especially by the folks at Land Rover whose vehicles he seems to be slightly allergic to.

According to Plan

I like when things go according to plan. The reason for this is simple: A good plan, even when gone horribly awry, will still turn out better then no plans at all. Take today for example. The plans I had fell through leaving the afternoon and evening open to whatever flights of fancy I could think of. The problem was I couldn't think of any flights, fancy or otherwise. After watching a few episodes of Lost (feel free to comment on my exciting life or lack thereof) I decided to rent a movie online. I had heard good things about The Hurt Locker so decided to give it a try. Thanks to Redbox I found a copy at a store not to far from here and reserved it online. I then venture out into the cold to go and retrieve the movie that was waiting for me. Now the lack of a plan comes into play. I get to the store only to discover that the Redbox machine is out of order. This explains why this was the only machine in a 20 mile radius to have the movie in stock. What it doesn't explain is why Redbox let me reserve, and pay for, a movie in a machine that wasn't working? Now that my Plan B for the evening has gone the same way as my Plan A I am feeling a little down in the dumps. It is then that I realize I need to have a better life plan so that my Plan B on a Saturday night isn't a movie at home by myself. I am willing to take suggestions on other possible plans for life. Like I said, I like when things go according to plan it doesn't leave time for dwelling on not having any.

Weekend...

I came across this sign whilst out and about with the BobCat. It made me laugh, so I thought I would share it with you.

Oh! This makes me feel a little sad. Or should I feel sorry for Emma Watson?

Aiming for the weekend.

Right on target!

A CornerView Holiday Recap

This year we were lucky enough to have snow for Christmas.

My niece borrowed my camera and I have about 20 pictures of this manger scene.

I am lucky to have a large family and extended family so close. Here we all are at one of our finer moments.

No, I did not build this Gingerbread House but I am a little sad that is it bigger then my real house.

And last but not least a new Holiday Tradition was born...of course it involves food!

JanPics

The other day I was looking through my photos and I realized that I have none from January. I don't know why that is, it is a perfectly fine month. I must have just been out doing other things without my camera or perhaps my camera, being afraid of the cold, decided to stay behind. This year I have decided to remedy this. As proof I present a random January weekend. Enjoy!

Going Up?

As of tomorrow (Jan. 4th, Happy B-Day Becky!) the world officially has a new tallest skyscraper, The Burj Dubai. I have been to the top of two of the previous record holders (Empire State Building and Sears Tower) and can only imagine what the view at the top of this super structure must look like. Perhaps one day I will be able to see it with my own eyes.
