end of the world, the hobbit, xmas shopping etc....chuck!

well, here we are, at the very end of 2012...and if hadn't noticed already, the world DID NOT end on the 21st..actually i had a very pleasant 21st, i was alone! i got up early early and watched the sunrise! and enjoyed a nice yule/winter solstice alone! as for my xmas shopping adventure...it really turned out to be an adventure of sorts..... i didn't realize i had bought a ticket for the hobbit at the theater in pinetop, rather than the theater in lakeside..so i got to drive another 15 or so miles to the other, bigger theater to see  the movie..and of course, i always leave my phone in the car when i go to the theater, so i was oblivious to the fact there was a major power outage in heber/overgaard.  Some freakin idiot shot the main transformer and the power was completely out form around 1 pm until around 11:30 pm that night....i had several calls and voicemails form mom and dad telling me to stop and kfc on the way home and grab a big bucket of chicken....goodie! and we ate by candle and flashlight light...it got pretty chilly in the house, around 56 degrees before the power was finally restored.....and interesting end to an already interesting day! as far as my phoenix trip..i did manage to talk dad into stopping at trader joes! we couldn't find in on the way there, but found it on the way back..i got a case of misc 3 buck chuck! and a jar of 21 spice salute, and a fresh bottle of balsamic vinegar....and i ended up with a vicious headache as we made our way up the mountain, i guess I'm not used to the heavier air pressure in the valley.  as for "change in the air" it finally happened...the place i work sold and i have a new employer..very nice lady, even a small raise of sorts! i was making less than minimum, not I'm making minimum! oh joy! all in all, an interesting December to remember!  I was planning on excessive amounts of fireworks on new years eve, but looks like the weather will not be cooperating....oh well, i didn't get a chance to re-stock my supply anyway......maybe over winter I'll get to go to the fireworks store! other than that......not a heck of  a whole lot else going on......just finished my coffee and got the laundry going....have to venture out and try and find champagne... good luck! heh.......until next time......

its snowing! the end of the world and Christmas!
