Pajamas

For the last few years Jen has been buying matching christmas pajamas for the family. To say it’s adorable is the understatement of the decade. Each time she’s done it I have had to exclude myself because I was too fat to find pajamas that fit me. I’m not a pajama guy in general so I didn’t mind too much, but I did feel bad about myself and left out. This year, 200 pounds later, Jen included me. I’m sitting here typing this, having just finished my day’s 30 minutes of exercise, wearing those christmas pajamas.

The irony here is that Jen bought them a couple of months ago and they are way too big for me. It is truly a christmas miracle.

Merry christmas, everyone.

HoHoHo Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Just because things are offline here for a few more days doesn’t mean we can’t wish a happy holiday to all of you.

We are going to make the best of it in this house today. If everyone else could have an extra great day it will help us along. No pressure, of course. You do you. We love you all no matter what your story looks like.

As the big guy in the red suit is believed to say, HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!

HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!

HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus came to our house. The kids woke up at their dad’s today which means Santa could just leave everything in our room and we could put it all under the tree this morning. You’d think that would be convenient, but it really actually sucks. We both want the kids here. We both miss them. It doesn’t ever really feel like Christmas when they don’t start the day with us. The good news is we’ll pick them up at dad’s in an hour or two and then come back here for the annual wrapping paper shredding bonanza. This afternoon they will go back to their dads and Jen and I will be sad again, but at least we’ll have had our own Christmas morning with them. Next year though… next year they start the day with us and it will be the BEST!

Wishing all of you and yours a Merry Christmas if applicable. If it’s not applicable then I hope you have an extra fantastic day for no good reason at all.

HoHoHo!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of those out there in internet land who celebrate. HoHoHo!

Santa came last night and did he ever leave a pile of loot!

The kids seem happy, which is the whole point of the holiday as far as I am concerned. I was a little nervous about my gift selections for my beautiful wife Jen. We set a pretty meager spending limit for each other and I went WAAAAY over it. She made it sound like she cut back on gifts for me and I was feeling pretty bad about the mountain I got for her.

Fortunately she like what I gave her. Even the ones that were out of the blue stabs at random guesses. She found the jokes to be funny, which is also a plus. As for me… she most definitely did not cut back on me! She totally faked me out! I got a new camera lens! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I also got an MXR Uni-vibe pedal which brings me one step closer to actually morphing into Jimi Hendrix. Awesome! There is also a wicked cool pedal board for my growing pile of stomp boxes, and a great new camera bag because now that I own three (3!!) lenses the bag I have is kinda too small. All in all I made out like a bandit! Santa Rules!

I hope all of you who read this also made out like bandits, and I hope that the things that are most important to you on this Christmas day work out just the way you hoped they would. Just like the gifts we got for the kids did, and the necklace and coach bag I got for Jenny did. hehe

HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Pictures

The kids woke up at their Dad’s house this morning, so we haven’t had our Christmas gift bonanza yet. I was just thinking to myself that I would not use my Nikon this year. I was just going to use my iPhone and the camera+ app and that would be all. No lugging around the bag and stuff this year, just the phone. I was thinking of our Christmas celebration at home and our Christmas dinner celebration at my sister’s house later tonight.

Less than five minutes after coming to this command decision I was putting the wide lens on the Nikon and snapping pics of the tree.

Camera+ is a great app, but really… who the hell was I trying to kid?

Merry Christmas, everyone! HoHoHo! I hope Santa treats everyone out there in internet land well! If you celebrate Christmas, have a great day! If you don’t celebrate Christmas, have a great day!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate. To everyone else, may you have an extra happy day.

Santa came, the gifts have all been opened. It’s a happy Christmas morning at our house. I love my family and I am so very happy.

HoHoHo!
