This, that, and the other thing…
So, did you finish your Christmas shopping or are you planning on braving tomorrow the crowds or are you going to head to whatever drugstore that happens to be open on Christmas and hope to God they have something decent??? Finished mine and got a Amazon gift card for myself. It’s going to be used towards books. There’s a Space: 1999 graphic novel I want, a couple of Jack Reacher books, a book about Spenser the character, and something off my wish list.
Sent a message to some fellow Xangan friends who havve been absent to see how they’re doing. Got one message back. Am going to send more out there. The place ain’t the same without them.
Have been watching Top Chef: Seattle and it’s turning out to be a good season. Haven’t made a guess who’s going to win but would like a woman to win for once. Seattle was a place I visited once and would like to back for a vacation before too long.
The snow storm that “hit” my neck of the woods didn’t do much because the ground was way too wet from the rain we got the past few days. So, when it melts my back yard turns into a pond. At least there is a White Christmas.
The cookie tray is still pretty much intact. The take home food is just about gone. Just in time for Christmas dinner and the leftovers that come with it. And on December 26th, my diet starts. So, may as well live it up before I get back to being some what healthy and maybe loose a few pounds I’ve put on the past few months.
Am watching the finale of Iron Chef Redemption and for once there will be a woman Iron Chef. Am pulling for Chef Frietag. And anyways, women are easier on my eyes. Seeing how I am a male…
Am going to be way off my game this week with having Monday and Tuesday off and working Wednesday-Saturday this week. Managed to get some overtime in. Good thing too. I’m going to use that paycheck to pay off some bills and seeing how they pay check periods means I’ll get paid three times in January, I’m going to buy my new shoes I’ve put off for the past three weeks. And a new pair of house shoes. Ah, the fun stuff I get to spend my cash on…
Wait for it… Frack, it’s not Chef Freitag. Ah well. Still thinks she a hottie.
Haven’t seen The Hobbit yet and may wait until it hits DVD/Blue Ray. From what I’ve heard, you either love it or hate it. And am not a big fan of 3D anyways. Whatever happened to just having a great story any ways??? Do I really need the special effects anyways? I thought The Hunger Games was the best movie I saw last year. I did see The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. The other big movies out there I didn’t see. And am going to wait until they hit the DVD market.
That damned cookie tray is calling me and there is a gallon of milk… Must be strong. And anyways, I have a small bag of Mary Jane candy. Think of Bit-O-Honey. That should hold me off until tomorrow.
Well, figure everyone is going to busy the next few days. Just remember what the true meaning of the holidays really mean.
Be safe out there.
CIAO.

the Hobbit is in 3D? i don’t like 3D. pooh. we’re going on wed.
merry christmas!
I liked the Avengers and The Hunger Games. Great movies. Doubt I will go see the Hobbit. There are still so many sweets here at the house, even after giving away baskets of them…I really don’t want them now. Kind of sick of seeing them. I set them out when people drop by, and they are slowly but surely dwindling.
I missed Redemption…so Alex won? I liked her and Amanda equally so that’s a win-win in my book.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
