A day off

I don't get the two weeks that students get off for break, but I'm not at work today (I know - I'm blogging so I guess I'm still in work mode). However, writing this entry from my parents house where the laundry is free and the food is good, is more fun.

This lovely work-free day came courtesy of Todd Ruiz, who decided to schedule a lot of activities last Saturday and didn't realize he had to work the weekly Saturday shift. It was not the most fun Saturday shift (writing a follow-up on stabbing doesn't translate to an easy, breezy 8-hour day).

Covering the Rose Parade yesterday was a lot of fun - especially sitting in seats on Orange Grove Blvd. Since I grew up in the area, joining the masses to see the parade is a yearly tradition. However, my friends and I usually get to the spot a tad late and I'm short so I usually get elbowed/knocked over by some tall meanie.

I hope everyone had a lovely New Year's and don't forget, school's back in session Jan. 7.
