welcome to spiceland.

Tru and I had lunch and a playdate with Mara, Abby, and Reese on Thursday. We had lots of fun, and it was so warm that the girls got to play outside!

Tru turned 2 in December. We had her party in January, and I’m just now getting the photos up in February. Oops. Enjoy.

Howdie! We went to a work friend’s house today to celebrate a new product that we released. As most of you know, I don’t ever blog about work stuff so there’s no details here. I want to be able to blog about anything I want and be as silly as I want. I don’t mention work stuff so that Google can’t connect the dots and so that nothing I do on here could reflect on work.

So what happens when a bunch of grown up kids and real kids get together in the same house as a bunch of game systems? WII, Playstation, XBox … thats what happens. Here is a short video from the Pure Digital camera that I told you about a few days ago of everyone having at it with the bongo drums connected to the playstation.

We also have some pictures up … just click here.

As a group, we (Sean, Matt and Danielle, Mike O, Susie and Mike, John and Candice, Troy, and Erin and I) took Mike V and Dana out for dinner. We went to Flamingos, which is a new Mexican restaurant in town. I was very impressed! It was much different than the other Mexican places in town. The food was unique, good presentation, and very tastle. I give it 4.5/5 stars.
