Does This Fat Make Me Look Fat?
The FU practice went severely well and I think the band will be in great shape come the January show in Salem. Since we last played together, Dave has increased his guitar skills three-fold, Bill has much improved vocal skills, and I can still kinda play drums. Kick ass.
Fantasy football news: My players took a dive this week and now my team is lapping man-nuggets in the two-week contest for league champion against Markie Clambaker. It got real ugly. Good news is my bench is kicking his bench's collective ass.
Weekend of holiday fun is in the books. Had a good time, but damn glad it's over now. I stayed on a constant 3000 calorie a day diet the whole time and made sure to pack on an extra 5 pounds in the process. Can't... stop... eating....
Mia was all about the Christmas this year. It was awesome. She got a new kitchen set which my parents made from IKEA furniture and a pinch of creative magic. She's already cooking full meals on the thing. She immediately ignored the presents we got her. I made out pretty well with about $60 in Starbucks gift cards, which should last me for at least a month. Also scored a sweet table saw and a DVD burner. But really, it was all about the kids. I'll be sure to post some photos here as soon as Violet figures out how to download photos off of her fancy new digital camera.
Violet and I had a discussion about how every year we get spoiled and showered with gifts from the parents and other family members, and we buy measley little gifts for everyone and then give their kids the good stuff. The conclusion we came to was that we're going to stick with the plan of being cheap-asses to everyone and take the "tone it down" stance across the board. We don't need more crap to fill our house with. I'm sure you don't either.
Someone in my family bought us an old-fashioned stovetop popcorn popper with a ceramic popcorn jar that says "POPCORN" on the side. When they gave it to us they said, "When we saw this we immediately thought of you!" Incredulous, we're thinking, "Really? Why?" Instead, we said, "Gee... thanks!" We hardly ever make popcorn and the only time we do it's in a bag labeled "kettle corn" in the microwave. So, needless to say, THAT thing is going back to whence it came. No gift receipt? Damn you, Internet!! Why must you make shopping on yourself so easy?
