Christmas Wth A Change

>> Monday, December 28, 2009

This year there are two things that are different on our Christmas tree. One is the kind of lights that we used and the other is the ornaments.

This year we used the new LED lights which we purchased from Costco. These lights have quite a few advantages over the conventional lights. For one they use much less power, which is great. Secondly they are a parallel circuit and not a series circuit. That makes a big difference, because if one of the lights is broken, the rest still work, which is awesome. Also they are far more vibrant.

For ornaments this year we exclusively used shatterproof ones. I got mine from Target. I got the Blue/Silver combination and I absolutely loved the colors. The reason we wanted shatterproof ones was because we have a 2 year old toddler who is running around. This option made it a very safe choice.

Change is GOOD!!!

Too Cool For California

>> Thursday, December 10, 2009

It has been really cold for the past 2 days. In fact I have some pictures to prove it. The temperature has been in the 40's. Here you can see the local temperature on my yahoo weather widget for Thursday, December 10th.

The water in the birdbath turned into ice overnight. So when I rinsed it off, the ice shattered and the pieces fell down. The white pieces next to the birdbath are all pieces of ice.

There was snow on the hill tops surrounding our home. Snow happens very rarely.
