New Year Post

back in the day of DNA, i bowled in the company bowling league. during that time i switched from a straight ball to one with spin. it served me well as i ended up winning my first ever trophy! well i broke my first nice bowling ball- it cracked like an equator. i just found it in the closet like that. after 2+ years of bowling ball distress using my straight ball i got from my dad in 10th grade, i took my bday and xmas gift money and bought myself my new bowling ball.

one day i was bored and decided to take pics of myself in the mirrow. fun stuff. i personally like the pink in the background even though i know its not color corrected. cuz you know.. i don't wear pink that often so why not have it in there for fun.

open your car door and smell the freshness.

imagine...
its the early morning just like any other day in sf bay area.
sunny, cool and crisp.
you are making that last turn into the parking lot where you
have worked for the last 5+ years.
listening to the Fray "how to save a life"
you park
you step out of your car  only to smell that distinctive smell
its surprisingly comforting.
and it smells so good you just crave it for your next meal.

ahhh donuts!

after all this time i finally saw these donuts in the store.
so i had to buy them.

and yes the box was opened i had to sneak a donut hole in before hand.

This and That

so the Audi has served me well over the years. I love that car. recently though its encounter some issues. one of which has been very annoying. my sun visor broke. literally fell off my car while i was driving. so after finding out from the dealership that it would cost $600 (no kidding!) to replace. i was definitely sure not to replace it. just suck it up like all the other dings. why does it cost so much- the home link (which i have no use for), the illuminating mirror connection, the protection from the sun in  your eyes and of course the OEM Audi name.

well my friend who's husband has an audi told me to check out stuff on ebay and finally i did go for it (after months of not having a sun visor and driving home for 2 hours from merced with my arm up holding a map to shield the sun in front and to the side of me). to my disbelief i found them a PAIR of used sun visors for about about 40 bucks. last week i bid on an item for $31 bucks and won! I received the goods and installed myself and there you have it an almost new audi. back in action! AND i have a spare for when the passenger side breaks. what a deal!

Another thing i needed were some new tennis shoes. the old ones were just getting too beat up. ive been playing a lot of tennis. after rolling over my big toe twice chasing after a ball i decided to go for another pair. went to the local tennis pro shop to support the mom and pops. here's what i ended up with.

what an interesting life eh. yay. nothing beats an upgrade.
