I am watching The Price is Right while waiting to go over to my grandparents house. It has been forever since I've watched this. Did Drew Carey lose weight? One woman won a car, but the other contestants seem baffled by how to play. Maybe 2013 will finally be the year I get to compete. Sexy Nerd just made me coffee with caramel creamer! What a perfect Christmas. I wish you all a cozy, happy holiday!

Vacation Day #2 - Waikiki, HI Nothing had been going right on our vacation. Our Southwest flight from Albuquerque was late to depart because a plane had been struck by lightening. We landed in Las Vegas, then sat on the backed up runway another 30 minutes. We called our hotel for their courtesy shuttle and we waited. And waited. A follow up call revealed that they had forgotten to send the shuttle to pick us up.  By the time we finally made it to our hotel room, it was after midnight. It seemed best to scrap our idea of walking to the strip for our one and only night in Vegas and just go to bed. But things were going to go better now that we were in Hawaii ! We pulled up to our hotel, the Wyndham Royal Garden at Waikiki, and it was nicer than we had expected. Actually, it was probably one of the nicest hotels we have every stayed in!
