Where Was My Rose Parade Invitation?

Well, for those of you that don't know I failed to mark my location this year for the Rose Parade. (Note Last Year: We Were First) Without a secured location I didn't feel comfortable sending out the annual Rose Parade invitation. So rest assured, you were not left off the invite, there wasn't one sent out.

Luckily, Yesterday I was able to strike a deal with some of our neighbors in order to secure a small location. We swapped them 4 feet of space for free food. Yesterday, I made homemade pizzas for the second year in a row and this morning mom and I made breakfast. It was well worth it, I spent a total of about 2 hours outside (Before the parade) between yesterday and today. Compare that with Becca, James and I who usually spend a combined 36 hours outside watching our spot.

So the nice thing about today was that it was very laid back. I was in bed last night by 11:00, didn't get up this morning until 6:30 and didn't go outside until almost 8:30. This was a good thing since I have been really tired the last two weeks. While the parade was nice, we certainly missed having everyone here to celebrate the New Year with us. I hope everyone enjoyed their day, I won't screw up the seating this year and hopefully we will see you here on January 1st, 2009.

I've got this great pic of me, you, Caputo, Minday and Laaaaaaaary from 03. That was a good year except I think USC won which always blows.

Also a nice pic of Bobbo with his fam pre-fire. Bobbo you are the coolest dude in Victorville.

Sounds like fun. I heard you didn't secure your spot this year. I was wondering if you were going to sit on your roof.

I so would've traded you space for homemade pizza... assuming I was not lazy and had secured space in advance, which you know would not happen ;) Procrastination would not pay there, I'm afraid.

On behalf of Sydney, Thank you very much for not securing a spot on the parade route. The last thing I need is for my mom to be totally worn out!
