Well, it is hump day and all is well. The weather is definitely winter with us even getting some snow flurries. The Christmas season is upon us, so I guess I should get my scrooge outfit out and practice my "Bah Humbugs."
Still trying to figure out how to get Starr up here for the Holiday's. Maybe she could put on a pair of skates, strap a pillow to her hiney, get a rope with a hook and catch a ride from a car passing by? She shouldn't get too many bugs in her mouth this time of the year. Wild Mom is doing fine but the twinges for the family to be there do crop up once in a while. Lady is working and shopping. Not many days go past that a box doesn't show up and she whisks it away before the box gremlins get it open. Lady's work place is having their Christmas party this weekend so that usually provides a few laughs as the alcohol takes it toll later in the evening. Things are usually ok until they start swapping clothes and dancing. #1 is still working but he has found another cheating XBox 360 game. I honestly believe they distribute those games just to irritate certain customers. I can't speak from first hand knowledge since the games behave when I play them. Also #1 got a new bowling ball and that has been a blast watching. He can't bellyache about me throwing a gutter ball ... seems the new one knows just the right way to get there. #2 works but the hours are few and far apart. Perhaps it is time to find another one? Peanut is slaving away and doing her best to train AJ ... but I think he is winning. She is starting a new diet and before long AJ's baby food will taste pretty good to her as a substitute for the diet food. We won't get to see Lew and Lil Princess this weekend and we will sorely miss them.
I keep getting asked what I want since I am such a hard person to buy for. "Keep it simple and something from you to me" would be my best answer. Just spending some time together and doing something we both like would be the best. Spending a lot of money is not the way to go ... that is unless you are filthy rich and want to waste some of it.

A Christmas Prayer
Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men. Let kindness come with every gift, and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessings which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. Amen
Robert Louis Stevenson

don't think hitching rides with a pillow strapped to my butt would be the best thing for me, am getting over the flu and think by the time I made it to Virginia that way I'd be a Starrcicle, I love you Daddy!
