Christmas is almost here.\u00a0 Rather, Christmas is almost over, if you view it as more of a nuisance than anything.\u00a0 Actually this Holiday season isn’t shaping up too bad;\u00a0 It’s still early though.<\/p>\n

While that was a busy weekend, I am not particularly inclined to detail all the events.\u00a0 I’m just plain ol’ tired and I don’t feel like typing.\u00a0 In the interests of consistency though, I’ll try to at least make a passable effort at a weekend overview.\u00a0 Things started off solid on Friday with Donette’s company Christmas party, which was at Morton’s<\/a>.\u00a0 You just can’t go wrong there.\u00a0 I had an enormous bone-in ribeye, and Donette had the slightly-less-gluttonous cut of the same.\u00a0 In a well-executed plan of attack, we skipped the salads and took it easy on the appetizers, which left enough room to focus on the truly important part of the meal.\u00a0 I almost polished mine off.<\/p>\n

Saturday we spent most of the afternoon shopping.\u00a0 We started at Office Max, where we picked up a new computer desk.\u00a0 Donette has been into some heavy remodeling upstairs, and our current desk doesn’t fit into her grand scheme.\u00a0 After that mundane purchase, we headed out to Scooterworld<\/a>\u00a0 in Overland Park, because I wanted to show Donette some of the nerd-mobiles I’ve been eying for a while.\u00a0 She was so enamored with them we ended up going ahead and picking one up!\u00a0 Unfortunately they didn’t have a helmet to fit my melon, so I have to wait on riding it.\u00a0 Donette is set up and ready though, complete with a neon pink jacket.\u00a0 Oh yeah, we’re styling.\u00a0 After that thoroughly exhausting\u00a0 ordeal, we took a little nap and then headed over to our friend Susan’s house for her annual Christmas Extravaganza.\u00a0 That was a festive time as always, and even better with the 60-degree weather.\u00a0 We spent most of the evening out on the back deck; can’t beat that for mid-December.<\/p>\n

Sunday turned into a rather unfortunate work-a-thon for me, while Donette worked on her painting project upstairs.\u00a0 That ate up most of the day, although I did get around to assembling the new computer desk.\u00a0 For evening entertainment we met Ed and Kim down at the Brooksider and watched the unfortunate debacle of the Chiefs game.\u00a0 Because I strive to always find the positive in every situation though, I will point out that I needed mucho points out of Ladainian Tomlinson for my Fantasy Football team, and he delivered in kind.\u00a0 Before his offensive barrage I stood to get knocked out of the playoffs; as it stands now I at least have a chance of surviving, depending on the outcome of this evening’s game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
