EARTHQUAKE!

It’s been awhile since our last significant earthquake here in L.A. It wasn’t so surprising – afterall, we’ve been having what’s been deemed “earthquake weather” for just about a month now. Carrie’s office was approximately 13 miles from the epicenter – and she was definitely rockin’ & rollin’ in the Fullerton/Brea neighborhood. Ed’s office in Tustin is only about 18 miles away – and he was definitely shakin’ too. But all is well, and we’re happy that all of our friends and family are fine – that’s the important part!

While we did okay at work, the real surprise was when we got home – our little place in Long Beach really was a mess!
We are sad to report that we lost some of those great wedding gifts we received … wine glasses, beer steins, glass trays and picture frames. Cupboards were jostled, drawers were disheveled, and there were 2 very frightened cats! Nothing major, just a big, inconvenient mess! But that’s about all.

Glass & olive oil – not a fun combo to clean up, just ask Ed!

Ed’s going to be a celebrity – just wait.

Ok, so I am a bragging wife. Ed started his new position at AutoPacific and he made the blogosphere news.

Christmas Goodies

I was so lucky to spend the day on Saturday baking with my mom. My mom is a master in the kitchen, and I was very excited to make some treats along with her. We decided on baking Pumpkin Bread loaves, chocolate chip cookies, Grandma’s old Swiss Sugar Cookie recipe, and I was very excited to try out Martha Stewart’s Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. They are delicious, and I am amazed at all we got done!

I always enjoy the packaging part, and this is how mine turned out:

I think I might have done ol’ Martha proud?

Thanks for all the help, Mom!
