**yay** i got my plane tickets for patagonia today!! delta and lanchile, respectively. i'm so excited...

lisa and i made personalized christmas cookies for some of the nrme professors the other night. we gave them out yesterday, and they loved them! we decorated them relative to whatever the professor's specialty is (remote sensing, wetlands, etc). it was really cute to see all of their expressions when they saw the cookies. it made me want to make cookies for everyone i know :)

today, lisa and i set up every computer in the leris lab so that it would have a picture of david hasselhoff as its wallpaper. hee hee. we also set all of the web browser home pages to davidhasselhoff.com. buahahahahaha! because you can never have enough david hasselhoff (check out my regular webpage for a hilarious david hasselhoff related link...i'm to lazy to go fine the URL and make a link for it here...).

supposed to get an ice storm tonight, and i'm pretty bummed b/c we weren't able to get a christmas tree last night and i'd really, really like to be able to get one tonight. oh well. tomorrow, we're driving down to take my dad christmas shopping and have dinner at mike's parents' house for his birthday (which is friday), so we were thinking about going to a tree farm mike used to work at down in that area and getting a tree there. the place we went last year had very thin, gappy trees this year :/. i know there was a drought this year and all, but i want a big fat beautiful tree. and i'm going to be picky about it, too. so there.

alright, enough time wasting...going to be productive now...
