    It is frickin’ freezing in LA tonight. We almost broke out our heavy winter coats and we’re not even in Indiana yet. Also, my Dad called to gleefully tell us about the snowstorm forecast for Friday there. He used the words “Arctic blast.” We get there Thursday morning. Crap.

    Being silly at the La Brea Tar Pits! @ La Brea Tar Pits http://t.co/iZLaao4v


    Somehow only one kid managed to get tar on himself, and it was the oldest one. @ La Brea Tar Pits http://t.co/XZFW89X3


    We heard this place had good burgers. (@ Five Guys) http://t.co/d6sC634v


    I just unlocked the โ€œFlame Broiledโ€ badge on @foursquare for checking in to burger joints! Cheeseburgers all around! http://t.co/78xqLyY1


    Five Guys and then Menchies. I feel a stomachache coming on…


    @drkknits Haha. I usually never turn it off!


    @drkknits Ah, yeah. My lappy is quite old and the battery doesn’t hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

    @drkknits Nope. I expected my luggage to go missing and Christmas to be ruined, but it wasn’t.


    The Carbos take their gingerbread houses very seriously. http://t.co/3PW1tE2F


    @drkknits Maybe their schedule is messed up for Christmas…


    @drkknits Nice!!


    I told you I’m not the best cookie maker in the family. http://t.co/F6p2SijO


    @drkknits Yes. Just settling in now. Snooky had a brief nap earlier, but I haven’t slept since plane (and that was crap).


    @drkknits I have a theory that oven runs hot. It definitely has a hotspot at back right corner.


    @twelveeyes @drkknits I wasn’t aware of this either, and it’s my oven!


    @LeeanneField Waves exhausted from my sister’s house in LA…


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes Wait, what? You can set a temp. The fan is fan-forced. Then turn the 3rd knob to change temp!


    @web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes When it’s on grill, it shows percentages. When it’s on normal use, it shows temps.


    @web_goddess @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @twelveeyes This is the manual, if that helps. http://t.co/aK809QjX

    Final pitstop. Lunch with Dr K on our way to the airport! (@ Bourke Street Bakery) [pic]: http://t.co/BI9wQDtV


    Massive thanks to @drkknits for playing taxi driver and cat sitter!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Like it or not, the right to bear arms is in the Constitution. And you don’t change that doc with a simple 50% vote


    Security confiscated my toothpaste! See @drkknits? I *told* you something would go wrong.


    He really is a awfully good sport. @ Sydney International Airport Departures http://t.co/fBewrrrl


    @drkknits It was too big. EVERYTHING’S RUINED! ๐Ÿ˜›


    We found a bar serving large beers and showing the cricket. Life is good. Only 90 minutes to kill… http://t.co/ttDLjsNd


    @Alacaeriel @witty_knitter @drkknits There’s a *lot* of room for interpretation. Personally I think they should be banned. But it’s not easy


    @ryleedanielle Sorry, I’m just about to fly overseas for a few weeks. You’re best to ask your questions to someone else!


    @NickDeverell Merry Christmas to you too! Tell Carrot we’ll see him when we get we back. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Boarding soon, so I’m going dark. Goodbye Sydney, and we’ll see you in 2013!

    @drkknits @NessNomster He’s a poop. Give him a pat for us! ๐Ÿ™‚
