GOODBYE 2008

Can this year be over any sooner??? Starting from a canceled flight at the beginning of the year to a non-existent new years eve, I don't think 2008 was meant for me. So thank god for 2009, new president and hopefully positive changes that come with it, along with a fresh start in Rome I can't wait to be there with new adventures to come!

Some fave pics of 2008:

Post Christmas laughter

So before Christmas I was in Fideaux, an upscale pet store in St. Helena, where I found this amazing santa hat. I almost went for the yamikah (spelling?) but I knew that wouldn't fly with the Jewish friends, so Santa hat it was. and MAN did Sammy rock that hat like nobodys business. Christmas eve AND Christmas day. Rockstar.

O-kai-ri!

Back from Japan!
Always a good time, some things I learned:
<-- dont eat cake with worms


<-- volcanic springs stink like hell, especially when wet



<-- Don't get drunk on trains, you will make a mess

On the other side of the Pacific...

Finally made it through finals, packed, drove to California, unpacked, re-packed, and now I am in Japan!  Tokyo to be exact, I was dumb and forgot my photo uploader thingee so no piccies until I come back.  But there was a flight attendant on our flight who reminded me exactly of Ms Swan from Mad TV, hilarious!  

This was totally my horse when he was a bebe

This video is adorable, my horse totally will do anything for a snack, just like this little be be, but in the most lazy way possible.
