We went to Katie and Chris’s house at about 5:30pm today. They had a lot of new and different furniture in the house – it’s coming along nicely! (Sydney on the new sofa) Katie prepared a full-fledge dinner. We started with martinis and then followed with a full seven-course dinner. This consisted of a really [...]

Jen and I went to the mall and then Costco this morning. We returned some pants for Jen at Express. Jen bought some news clothes and I got a white button-up shirt. At Costco we bought about $250 worth of stuff, including a new set of electric toothbrushes. We got home and unloaded the stuff. [...]

I got home early today – before Jen did.  When she got home I gave her some ‘corrected’ presents for Christmas.  She got some new pink New Balance 755 running shoes as well as a new fancy coach watch.  She was really excited about the watch.  Apparently she’s wanted this watch for quite some time. [...]

Since Christmas fell on a Monday this year we both had to drag ourselves out of bed to get to go to work today.  It just felt wrong. I was extremely sad to miss out on all the after Christmas sales. I brought my new running shoes with me to try at the gym and [...]

With everything going on today Jeff and I opted to start early. We go up around 7am and headed downstairs to exchange presents. Jeff was incredibly sweet and gave me some beautiful earrings, express slacks, brown boots and fantastic coach purse. I gave Jeff a personal groom kit with travel razor, jeans, brown sweater, a [...]

I don’t know what it is about the day before Christmas but even as an adult the excitement feels almost palatable in the air.  Taking advantage of the time off from work both Jeff and I slept in.  I did my civic duty to the marital arts world and exposed Jeff to Mortal Kombat.  I was shocked when he [...]

With Christmas just a few days away, we embraced the season with a festive holiday party. Unfortunately that means that most of the day was spent cleaning and setting up for the party. The party included the usual suspects – Katie, Chris, Lisa, Alan, Jan, Mom, Tom, Terri, Scott, Lynne, Kathleen, Viktoria, Dennis, Brad, Dan, [...]

Today is the two-year wedding anniversary for Jen and I.  I got home early and Jen stopped by Whole Foods to get some fun food for us to have tonight.  She also bought me a new pair of sunglasses from REI. They were the cool Native Eyewear Hardtop series sunglasses that I like so much. [...]

Both Jen and I slept in pretty late today given the night we had yesterday evening.  Jen wasn’t feeling very well today and didn’t do much.  I did some work in OSX – playing with the terminal program.  I use SecureCRT heavily within Windows and haven’t found anything that compares.  Even iTerm isn’t as good [...]

I slept-in late today. Finally I got up, dressed, and headed out. I stopped Jen off at her house and went to my haircut appointment. Sadly I showed up fifteen minutes late. After the haircut I went back to Jen’s house and we took some stuff to goodwill. Some people came over to look at [...]
