Since my blue-tooth went missing (I know where it is, but I cannot figure out how to get it), I decided to take part in News10'sobstacle course that proved you cannot text and drive at the same time. I already knew this, but it was fun to take my car through a narrow set of cones while dodging small children, basketballs and random stop signs. Although I did not knock over any cones or hit any kids I did prove that I cannot type accurately on my BlackBerry while driving (which means I probably should not be trying to type on it in the first place). The best part (for me at least) I got a free blue tooth courtesy of Yakety Yak in Rocklin, a few News10 key-chains and some other goodies. So make the pledge, use a blue-tooth while driving (please not when you are walking down the street, that kind of freaks me out) and do not text while driving. Basically when you drive make paying attention to the road your first priority - Hang Up & Drive.
After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .
Although there were some amazing things presented at InterAct2 , a dessert at Bayside to celebrate 2009 and look ahead to 2010, a few stuck out with me in particular. First the highlights of 2009 … - Amazing guest speakers including: Luis Palau , Nick Vujicic , Franklin Graham , Louie Giglio and Francis Chan - More than 500 active small groups throughout the Sacramento region - Nearly 800 Jr. High , High School and College/20's at weekly events - Breakaway Summer Kids Camp sold out in April ... 2010 will offer a special needs program - Bayside Gives Back (garage sale) raised over $102,000 for 24 Sacramento region charities - Semi's were filled with food and donated items for the Salvation Army What's ahead ... - Jim Caviezel - who played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ will be speaking this weekend at Bayside - Experience Christmas at Bayside - Bayside's Christmas Eve services start on December 18th, they are amazing and you can get your free tickets begin
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room

To top off the day I headed to the Sacramento Press/Social Media Club sponsored event entitled "Facebook for the Floundering." Check out the slides, the News10 story or search for #SMCsac on Twitter. A big thanks to Chipolte for providing a tasty dinner as well.
