December 2005 Archives

for me to post again...
When I last was here (wait, strike that, I'm here every day, just don't always have time to post!)
When I last posted, I was getting ready for the office party, which I thought was rather nice...I work with an awesome group of people and its great to work at a company where they show appriciation for the work that you do (and they don't only show it at the holidays, which is even better!)
Here is a pic that was taken there (not very good I'm afraid, but the only one I have)

So the next weekend, we have shopping, the search for the elusive cookie cutters, and constant calls from a friend we'd agreed to help move to Miami on the Thursday before christmas :scared
(yes, next year, I learn to say NO)
which in itself was a horor bad enough, I don't really want to go into it :hammer

So we have our "Christmas" last night, dinner, presents, guests stopping by (who we managed to convince to stay for dinner to help us with this 23 lb bird my wife bought!
:jaw
lots of good things, expecially just getting to spend time together...My wonderful wife even managed to clean out the fireplace and we had a nice little fire going :1luvu (I'm not even going to mention the fact that I think it was around 70 degrees here yesterday :lol)

I just want to close by saying this...

This year was a bit harder for me to deal with than others, those that are close to me know the reason for this...I want to thank all of them, for their support, their time, and effort, in keeping me from falling into 'full grinch' mode (I know that wasn't easy)
I love you all, may the coming year bring us all we want and desire

Have a
Happy Holidays
No matter what you celebrate!

I swear, they must be there...
in my last post, I could have swore I talked about Saturday...in which the major event was another dear friend of ours who's moved to the other side of the state, stopping by to see us! (we miss you guys so much :cry ) before they went to dinner and over to mulletville...
however, in re-reading my post, I see that I skipped right over Saturday and went right to Sunday :uhoh3

The shopping trip went ok...one of these days I hope to find someone willing to do it for me though :lol
4 stores and one trip to Carino's (love those job perks!) later...I managed to find an outfit that I can live with. (side note...I did find an awesome pair of boots that my wife helped me pick out...lets just say, with the exception of the color, they're the ones I've been wanting for years! :biggrin )
My wonderful wife, on the other hand...was unable to find anything (which means we have to do this again :scared ) but did manage to find the Star Wars III DVD :banana

After all of that...getting in way to late last night, her (and Ran) having to work this morning...I got to go fix my friend D's computer...let me tell you, Destiny was NOT happy at getting up at 7am this morning (neither was I to tell the truth!) and I did manage to get a little something to entertain my kids when they come down! (and I'm sure my wife will like it to...big kid that she is :rofl )
