Happy New Year 2010

I hope all out there have a happy and healthy new year!


Fortunately I am feeling better. Sorry about the lack of posts. I made it through work today, but I'm still trying to fight off the last of my (rather nasty) cold. My wife just left to go out with our friends- and I'll be asleep by midnight. Oh well. I'm still having a few drinks and pretending I'm well, for now! I haven't even unloaded our christmas photos yet. Three more days to get back on track, though. Happy New Year!

Edit: Did you know it is a 'Blue Moon' tonight? It's the second full moon this month.

Funny Father Xmas Apology

This is funny - as long as he did all that for his kids when they were young. Mine didn't, but I'm sure he justifies it to himself.


I've become ill. I'll recap the holidays later. Maybe if I'm home sick tomorrow, or maybe not.

My New Favorite Xmas Song

I've purposely been avoiding the topic lately, but I'm not big on holidays. The most I like is the extra time off from work. There is no major reason that I could name, unlike others (condolences DG!).

I found a new favorite song for the season! Only because I have no favorite song for this season. Have a wonderful day!



(My first link to hulu, I don't think it will fit. Here's a direct link to Eat Me Daily, where I found it.)

Pic Dump 6 - Doubled

Here we go again! Some you may have seen, some you may not. These are just some pics that caught my fancy for one reason or another. I have an abundance this time so twice as many as usual. As always, discretion may be advised after the break. Remember to click on the pic to see original size!


Doesn't this look like the bestest most delicious cupcake ever!!!

Simon's Cat

If you have not come across Simon's Cat yet, then you probably should check to see what you're missing.  This is alot more entertaining for cat people, I'm sure, but all could enjoy it.  Here is the first one that I saw.  It's probably still my favorite!

Updates, Bricks, and Holiday Sweets

It's been a long, somewhat trying week around here so I haven't been posting much.  I've had the 'difficult' project at work, while still trying to get my back back to feeling normal.  Not much sunlight brings on minor seasonal affective disorder.  Tensions were high between me and my wife holiday shopping on Saturday while dealing with all the people and traffic jams.  Still buried in snow and a bit more expected soon.  

Remember when I fixed up the bricks at the corner of the house?  Yeah, well somebody actually walked up, brushed the snow off the top, then walked away with one of the bricks.  The fourth one up in those pics.  Who would do something like that?  I can get the same ornamental brick for just a couple bucks come spring, but not weathered the same.  I'm just a little flabbergasted.  I try not to speculate since that just makes me want to blame our 'bad' neighbor.  It was probably just some kids and the brick is probably in the creek at the end of the block.  I hope it broke the ice and made a nice splash/kerplunk for them.  Who knows?

My wife is off to her friend Terry's tomorrow at noon to make holiday cookies and sweets with her and her sister.  Sadly, their mom died a year or two ago, but they are keeping up a family tradition.  My wife has been bff's with her forever, so its just a natural thing to do for them.

Meanwhile, I guess I get the day off.  I  will sleep as late as I can since the Packers don't start until 3:15 this afternoon.  I will clear snow, maybe wrap presents, and do little things around the house as needed, but mostly I plan on sleeping in then relaxing with the Sunday paper before football.  Maybe prepare a supersize pic dump for early this week, as now that I'm doing that as a regular post I all of a sudden have a ton of pics saved just from my recent surfings on the web.  I must be more selective in the future, oh well.

It's late, I'm sleepy.   Good Night...
