Spring Break...

Now that sounds funny saying in September, but it is true. So how exciting has my week off been so far...



yeah that's right...

I baked it. Chocolate, 2 layers, delicious.

I can hear you all now, Whoa, whoa, whoa, Dan slow down your an animal. I know, I know but you only live once and it is spring break. But I will say that I won't bake muffin's I'm not crazy. And I always remember to bake safe, follow the directions and use cling wrap.

Well hopfully my next post won't be so action packed and leave you as breathless as this one did.

We had a long weekend too...

My friend Brett took us up to Brisbane for RiverFire a large fireworks show they put on for the holiday weekend and they have 2 fighter jets that fly by at the start and at the finish right through the city over the river with full afterburners on lighting up the whole place. Freak'n AWESOME, the windows in the buildings rattled.

This is Brett with Mona as we waited in line to get in for dinner...



We were on a bridge right by the Casino so we went there for dinner, pretty sweet, good price and good food. But if you are that close to the casino you can't just walk away... Lets just say my night was paid for, yeah thats right I actually won some money.



So the long weekend was good to me, but alas it is now back to work. I have a paper a seminar and some paper work due this week, its pretty much done and I'm all on track.
