The last time I ate at McDonald's I flipped my burger carton over and saw this:

Since this accounted for 95% of my daily saturated fat, I figured I might die in the car on the way home from work that day.  Curious about other items McDonald's is trying to use to kill me?  Check out their nutrition information here.

Laura has told me I'm not allowed to eat at McDonald's anymore.  That's probably a good thing.

Laura came into the office with me the other day.  She got bored, so she decided to draw on my whiteboard:

I was using the laptop in our living room the other night and went to Amazon.  Their homepage was trying to upsell us with a 1080p plasma and women's underwear.  I thought this was a very interesting combination.

In January, we ventured down to Orlando.  Marriott Horizons had promised us a cheap place to say if we listened to their timeshare sales pitch.  Needless to say, we didn't walk away with a timeshare, but we did have a good time at Disney.

My favorite quote from the trip came from Steve:  "I shouldn't have eaten that red pepper."

Laura made homemade biscuits the other day.  They are always incredible:

Amy and Nick got married in January...  we were both in the wedding:

While we were in Orlando in January, I ran across a gas pump that had entirely too many choices.  How difficult is this one for the indecisive?

We flew Delta out to Sacramento.  If you're familiar at all with the screens on the back of the headrests, you think it's amusing that when they reboot unexpectedly, you see the Tux logo as they start up:

For the second time now, we went to San Francisco at New Year's.  We were a little afraid it would pale in comparison to last year, but as it turned out, it was a lot better and didn't have a lot of the problems of last year (flooding, etc). 

This has to be one of the most useless signs ever...  a "Designated Smoking Area" sign with an arrow pointing to another "Designated Smoking Area" sign less than 5 feet away.  Way to go, Galleria.

I see these from time to time...  This is the railroad company putting a truck on the tracks to do some work.  Notice the extra set of wheels just for the tracks.  Apparently they are on hydraulics so they can be raised and lowered to allow the truck to drive on streets as well as on the tracks.

Our stay in a hotel room for Christmas was interesting.  The first thing I noticed was the absence of the board/tile that joined the carpeted part of the room with the bathroom:

This appeared like the shower head should have had one of those separate hand-held heads, but instead the cord was just cut. 

I'm pretty sure this room was under construction and they let us rent it anyway.

This is Sneakers, Steve and Brie's cat:

Just before Christmas, Laura made me a TON of peppermint bark to take to work.  I believe it was about 2-3 pounds worth. 

This is what was left of it.  Computer geeks apparently like peppermint bark:

I just thought these were funny pictures of George and Bella.

As many of you experienced, Laura threw me a surprise casino party for my 30th birthday.  Just about everyone I know came to it.  Laura throws an awesome party.

Some of you might have heard this story already, but our neighbors tried to burn a pile of their leaves in the corner of their yard.  They didn't make a fire break or even have a pail of water nearby.  As you can see, it quickly caught into the very dry leaves in our back yard.  Fortunately, they quickly made a break with their rake to keep our entire back yard from going up.

Once again, the Jetta helped us get out Christmas tree home.
