Neighbor’s Runoff = Second Suck Of The Day
Our neighbor across the street knocked on our door to let us know water was streaming down our driveway into the street. Turned out to be our next door neighbors who overfilled (on a cold, rainy day) their pool and the runoff poured into our side yard, out under a gate and down our driveway.

Car Difficulties Help Bring In The New Year
Had to drive one of our cars to our mechanic after my mom said it quit running whenever she put it in gear.

San Diego Shows Off Some Autos
Went to the San Diego Auto Show with José, Rodrigo and Victor. I was the other white meat. This was the funnest of all the SD Auto Shows I’d been to because it was more interactive than previous shows. I rode two electric bikes, was taken for a Jeep test drive over a torturous test course and got my picture taken with a top-heavy, hot chick. I mean model.

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!
Spent New Year’s Eve with the Tapias watching Shrek Forever After. And then, like a post-natal baby boy, watching a ball drop in Times Square.

Del Mar’s Holiday of Lights
Went with the Tapias to the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ 1.5 mile-long “Holiday of Lights” display for my very first time. It turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. We weren’t very close to the displays and wanting to take pictures was made more difficult with all the signs telling us not to stop. Plus they didn’t let us go around a second time. Some of the displays were cute, but most were a kind of weak. Best part was driving through a short lit tunnel, and that was just strings of non-animated lights. It wasn’t what we were expecting. At $14 per car, I wouldn’t recommend it.

One Last 2010 SeaWorld Visit
Walked around a Christmas-decorated and very crowded SeaWorld one final (33rd) time this year with my mom. Fantastic southern California, blue sky winter kind of day. Got our picture taken with Santa in his cottage. Also bought a calendar since I don’t have enough yet.

Let Me Count The Days
Bought (in-store) and ordered (online) a buttload of calendars today to add to the ones I had already picked up for next year. Almost done. Thank the maker for half-price sales, free shipping and gift cards.
