Wizard of Oz Costume Party

For my mother's 49th birthday party she decided to have a Wizard of Oz costume party. She is obsessed with the movie so it was fitting. Here are some good pictures of the event.

Is that homeless guy wearing my coat?

Last week I went to San Francisco for work and Esther kept bugging my to bring a jacket because it would most likely rain. So I brought my white rain coat I've had since I was in high school. On the plane I realized that my "white" coat was so dirt it was an off white or brown color. I constantly wash it but it got to a point were the jacket was so old it could be helped. So I walked over to The North Face about a block away from my hotel and but a simple black rain jacket and while walking back to my hotel I gave me coat to a homeless. He seemed pleased but kind of looked at my new jacket like I should give him that one.

What did I learn from this?
1. Don't buy a white jacket
2. If you still have something you bought in high school as you approach your ten year reunion buy a new one

Diet Coke Attack

Everyone that knows me knows I have an addiction to Diet Coke. Well I usually try to take the last Diet Coke of a six pack so that I can coke the plastic into little pieces so fish and other animals don't get stuck in it. Like that Penguin on Surf's Up. I had a teacher in first grade that told us animals die if you don't cut them up so apparently it stuck :)

All that to say today I was carrying my diet coke to my desk but I was holding it by the plastic so that I wasn't actually holding the can. I stopped by the lovely Esther and somehow ended up flinging my diet coke at her. This is the dent her ankle made in my now fizzy diet coke.
