Pickle flavored apple and a free Christmas present

Wow, sorry for not writing for a month. Lots have happened and I have been very busy with work so when I get home I eat and go to sleep.
So today I was at work and was about to eat lunch. I bring a sandwich and I don't like soggy sandwiches so I put my sliced pickles into a baggie. Well the juice from the pickles leaked out of the bag and got all over the rest of my lunch which for the most part was not a big deal since almost everything was wrapped, except my apple. I save my apple for 3 o'clock cause that's when I take a few min. Break and relax and have a little snack. It smelled like well an apple but with the hint of pickle and I'd have to say the taste was the same. Very odd to be eating a Granny Smith (Washington grown of course) but to have the slight flavor of a pickle...Very strange.

For Christmas, one of the things I wanted was a messenger bag from the Lost Store on the ABC website. The reason that I wanted it was that it had the Oceanic Airlines logo on the flap of the bag. I thought it would be fun (in a sick kind of way) to use it as my carry-on luggage for whenever I fly next. So for Christmas, I get a huge box and I'm sure that it's the bag so I'm ripping into it and sure enough I pull it out, but wait, somethings missing. The Oceanic Airlines logo is not on the flap. So Justin e-mails the customer service people, we were planning on just sending it in and getting one with a logo. Today Justin gets the email back. Apparently, the whole lot of these messenger bags never got the logo put on and got shipped out. So they said keep the bag and we're going to refund you the full amount. What I want to know, was who was the idiot that forgot to check to see if the bags were done before shipping them out? The bag is still cool, it does have the Lost written in the corner of the flap so not all is lost (hehe get it) but man I wish I had the logo.

Other than that, Christmas was awesome. Justin and I stayed in Vegas and just relaxed all four days. This weekend is going to be crazy. Justin's parents are coming in tomorrow and are staying for almost a week. They are staying at our place till Sat then Sunday thru Wen or Thursday they are staying at the Excalibur. For New Years we're seeing Matchbox 20 at The Joint in the Hard Rock Casino, concert starts at 1opm so we'll be counting down to New Years with the band. Sunday we are seeing Blue Man group at their new home at the Venetian. Monday, we all might go hiking at Red Rock, plus there will be shopping and good eats mixed in. It will be a good time.
