The Real Thing
Coca~cola tastes better from a plastic bottle than a plastic cup.
Likewise it tastes better from a glass bottle than a glass...
Why?

Supply Run
We went on a supply run for Friday's party.
When I say supply I mean "SUPPLY!!!!!"
...and Jenny got tired of the picture taking.
ADDENDUM: Way to get your finger into the shot, dumb ass.

DANGER!!!!
Duck and cover kids, there's a snow flurry happening outside.
I have to go to my sister's house tonight, then home, then to my parents', then home again. I expect snarled traffic everywhere due to the fact that there is one snow flake for every 100 yards of road.
HoHoHo!

Weekend
Busy weekend. Really busy weekend.
We woke up early on Saturday and cracked the whip. Jen had to work for a while and I needed to get a jump on the Christmas Eve Party Preparation by cleaning the hell out of the house. We also had some more Christmas shopping to do.
After a few hours of cleaning we broke for lunch, at the Border Cafe of course. From there we hit a number of stores, focusing mostly on places in Methuen. The best story from the shopping spree comes from Old Navy.
We were in line at a check out register, just shooting the breeze and waiting for our turn, when Jen starts laughing. She told me to check out the woman at the next register. I took a look, and then I started laughing too. She was wearing a sweater and a shirt, both of which still had price tags on them. We told the clerk at our register, he called security, and they came to covertly check things out.
Lady... if you're going to shoplift... take the damn tags off the clothes your shoplifting!
We tried to hang out long enough to see her get busted at the door, but we were feeling a little too obvious and decided to wait outside. Once outside we weren't obvious anymore, but we were COLD, so we moved along to the next store on the shopping list.
After shopping we visited with my folks for a while, then went home and popped in a movie and went to bed, completely forgetting to eat dinner.
Forgetting to eat dinner on Saturday night leads to eating breakfast at IHOP on Sunday morning. Once we got home it was back to work. Cleaning for me and wrapping presents for Jen. We blew through a big chunk of the pre-party to-do list. Then it was up to Salem to pick up the kids, and then down to Tewksbury for a Christmas party. Both of my nephews and my niece were there as well. Jen's kids did a fantastic job helping keep an eye on the little ones during a very crowded and busy party. Santa came. Santa gave presents. All of the kids got one. Santa is the best.
After that we went out to dinner (again... sort of a trend for us lately. A trend that has my waist line expanding exponentially) before heading home and watching another movie.
Very eventful, busy weekend. I had a blast. I wish we could add a few more days onto it, but instead we'll just try and patiently get through the few days remaining between now and Christmas.
Thanks for a great weekend, Jen. Thanks for a great weekend, kids.
HoHoHo!

OJ
The downside of being too busy to stop and eat dinner on a Saturday night is that on Sunday morning you are hungry enough for IHOP.

Carolers @ The Loop
ADDENDUM: How the hell do you spell "caroller?" Carolor... caroler. Caroler? Google likes it, so I'll go with that. Pardon me while I change the title of this post.
ah-thank-ya
Christmas Kitty
Kitty sits under the tree, waiting for us to unwrap her on Christmas morning.
Or something like that.

Content Whore
Jen and I went out to dinner after work. While sitting here I have checked in at Foursquare and Facebook, and posted updates to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Posterous, and now Blogger. Flickr is next.
I am a content whore, people. Seriously.

Friendly Christmas Reminder
Here is a public service announcement. Sort of like a friendly Christmastime Reminder.
Red lights mean STOP YOUR EFFING CAR!!!
This message is specifically for the twit who blew through the red light without even slowing down and nearly killed me. I hope your death is painful you waste of genetic material.
On another note, with temperatures at a balmy 16 degrees Fahrenheit this morning I would like to publicly state that Mother Nature can bite me.
Bite.
Me.
That is all. Thank you.
