Wherein Lots of Stuff Happened and I Took No Pictures

I've been just a little bit sick this weekend. Just enough that my lazy butt has been sleeping frequently and not blogging or even taking pictures for the blog.

On Christmas Day, Samara made a turkey and all the other good stuff that goes along with that--stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc. I made the light rolls. It was all very yummy. We had a few people over--Erin and Anthony, Rose and Mark. Mark was so appreciative that we had him over on Christmas that he brought us a bunch of frozen halibut and salmon. We all played Wii bowling for hours. It was quite a bit of fun.

Then, on Friday, we hung out at Erin and Anthony's place. They live in the crazy tax protester's apartments, but they're actually really nice apartments. They're neighbors with Bobbie, the history teacher and owner of the very awesome train game (Ticket to Ride, a board game). Samara went next door and borrowed it, and we played that for a few hours. Erin made some good nachos.

At about 11pm, we decided that it'd be an awesome idea to go to the Willow Tree bar. Surprisingly, there weren't really any more people there than when we went with Rose at 7pm one night. But, at about 11:30, everyone showed up. From what I understand, everyone drinks at home until later in the evening and then shows up at the bar. That's understandable, since a single Corona runs you $6.25. That's an expensive beer. So we have now experienced the Alaskan nightlife. It's not that exciting. We only stayed for about a half hour and then took off.

On Saturday, Erin and Anthony brought over the train game again. We played some more, and then watched an episode of the family guy that Anthony thinks is the funniest episode ever. It was a pretty funny episode.

Also on Saturday I tried to fix Saramay's truck some more. See, we picked her truck up from the airport when she left for vacation, and since it's been parked in front of our house, I haven't been able to get it started again. I've tried any number of gas-drying and truck-warming techniques, none of which have actually helped get the truck started. It sucks.

Anyway, now we've got one day off left, and we'll probably sit around and be lazy, because that's what days off are good for.
