What to buy?

I received some gift cards for x-mas to REI but I couldn't figure out what to purchase because I also received the Mountain Hardwear & REI jackets I wanted for x-mas. I went to REI three times and tooled around for hours. I thought about some new hiking boots but $170 was hard to swallow. I was looking at REI.com today and figured out something, new winter boots. I ended up purchasing a pair of Sorel Timberwolf winter boots. These boots will come in handy when walking the dog in the snow and also for ice fishing. I also wanted to purchase a pair of gaiters but they were all out of the Outdoor Research gaiters in XL, so I'll have to wait until they have them back instock.

The J Dizzle

I went over to REI yesterday morning for their scratch & dent sale. Doors opened at 10am and there were 40 people in line by the time I got there at 8:45am. I brought my iPod with me to burn some time. After waiting over an hour in line the only thing I purchased was a $5 Thermarest pillow. I just didn't see anything I needed.

Aimee wasn't feeling so good and her sinuses were as stuffed up as Paris Hilton's crotch on a girls gone wild weekend. So we stayed at home and watched almost all of season 4 of Scrubs. Usually I start to fall asleep when I watch TVs series back to back on DVD but not Scrubs. We watched it until midnight.

Talk to everyone next year!

The New Birth Control

My Brother Rob had the kids this week because of Christmas so they came up from Chicago for a couple of days to visit Aimee & I. Wow what a handful Lexi, Haley & Drew is, or as I like to call it Birth Control. If Lexi does something Haley has to do it, if Haley gets something Lexi has to get it or they have a frickin' conniption. It could drive ya to drink. But all was well as we went to MOA on Wednesday to hit some roller coaster rides and do some light shopping. MOA was packed as to be expected the week after Christmas. Lexi and I went on one of the roller coasters and the log ride. Before they headed back Rob, Mom & the kids got a tour of the Best Buy campus. They all thought it was pretty cool. Hopefully Aimee & I will be able to see them in the summer sometime.

Here's a cute picture of Lexi & Zoey.

Haley constructing letters on our fridge to spell her name. She's pretty darn smart for a 4 year old.

Thank You!!

Thanks again to Mike, Cindi, Jason, Suzie & Laynie for such a fun Christmas!! We (Aimee & I) had a great time! We'll have to get another Guitar Hero controller so we can do some dual guitar jams. That game was as addicting as crack. If it wasn't for my eyes drying out at 2:30am I would have been playing that game all night. I bet Guitar Hero II would even be more fun after a few 5 or so beers.

Cindi might kill me for posting this picture so I'm going to blame Aimee for taking it.

I love My Little Pony!

I F$%KING HATE YOU MY LITTLE PONY!!

A plunger...so what are you trying to tell me?

Again Aimee took this picture. I'm just the messenger.

ROCK ON BITCHES!

Charlton Heston thanks you for your Bible video purchase.

Weeble Wobbles. Lucky!

AND NOW, THE BLESSING PRESENTED TO YOU BY JASON.

Happy Holidays!!

Letters To Santa

Old but always funny this time of the year.


Dear Santa I wud like a kool toy space ranjur fer Xmas. Iv bena gud boy all yeer.
Yer Frend, BiLLy

Dear Billy, Nice spelling. You're on your way to a career in lawn care. How about I send you a fricking book so you can learn to read and write? I'm giving your older brother the space ranger. At least HE can spell!
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is peace and joy in the world for everybody!
Love, Sarah

Dear Sarah, You're parents smoked pot when they had you, didn't they?
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, I don't know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I'd like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do.
Love, Teddy

Dear Teddy, Look, your dad's banging the babysitter like a screen door in a hurricane. Do you think he's gonna give up that action to come back to your fat mom, who rides his ass constantly? It's time to give up that dream. Let me get you some nice Legos instead.
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, I want a new bike, a Playstation 3, an iPod, some G.I. Joes, a dog, a drum kit, a pony and a tuba.
Love, Francis

Dear Francis, Who names their kid "Francis" nowadays? I bet you're gay.
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for your reindeer outside the back door.
Love, Susan

Dear Susan, Milk gives me the runs and carrots make the deer fart in my face when riding in the sleigh. You want to do me a favor? Leave me a bottle of scotch.
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you busy making toys?
Your friend, Thomas

Dear Thomas, All the toys are made in China. I have a condo in Vegas, where I spend most of my time making low-budget porno films. I unwind by drinking myself silly and squeezing the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money at the craps table. Hey, you wanted to know.
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, Do you see us when we're sleeping, do you really know when we're awake, like in the song?
Love, Jessica

Dear Jessica, Are you really that gullible? Good luck in whatever you do. I'm skipping your house.
Santa

----------

Dear Santa, I really want a puppy this year. Please please please PLEASE PLEASE could I have one?
Timmy

Timmy, That whiney begging shit may work with your folks, but that crap doesn't work with me. You're getting underwear again.
Santa

----------

Dearest Santa, We don't have a chimney in our house, how do you get into our home?
Love, Marky

Mark, First, stop calling yourself "Marky", that's why you're getting your ass whipped at school everyday. Second, you don't live in a house, you live in a low-rent apartment complex. Third, I get inside your pad just like all the burglars do, through your bedroom window.
Sweet Dreams, Santa

Canucks Got Owned

I surprisingly got 2 free tickets to the Wild game last night versus the Canucks from a coworker. I figured since I haven't paid James for carpool gas in over 3 months that I would take him if he was available, and he was. The tickets were in section 216, row 3, seat 1 & 2 and we had a pretty good view of the ice. Just about any spot at Xcel is a good one but at least we were not at the end of the area. Not even a couple minutes into the game Demitra unloads a scorching slap shot and the Wild were up 1-0. From then on it was all Wild. I was a little disappointed that the boogieman didn't throw down in fisticuffs. We totally thought he was going to unload on one of the Canucks players after there were some little scuffles during play. Final score 5 to 2.

I also got to enjoy a twist soft serve waffle cone. Only at sporting events & the sportsman show can you find the true twist soft serve, everywhere else has the yogurt wannabe. So you think the yogurt tastes the same as the soft serve? Well I say nay! Totally different flavor when it hits my taste buds and soft palate. This was my first 'waffle' as I prefer a 'cone' but they only had a hat bowl or waffle to choose from. I learned when you get to the end of this delicious delight not to bite the waffle in half as it tends to break like glass and spill the melted juices of my twisty goodness all over the ground. James was also able to collect 40 Wild beer plastic glasses for his chocolate milk fetish and for beer at his parties. So the next party at James' will be sponsored by the Wild.

Holidazzle Parade

Corey, Mel, Pete, Anne, Aimee and I went downtown to see the Holidazzle parade on Sunday. We first hit up Dunn Bros. for some tasty hot coco. Then it was off to watch the parade. Temps were cold but not cold enough to keep us away. After the parade we headed over to Old Chicago for some cold beers and eats.

Words & More Words

Nothing really new to write about lately. Aimee and I have been finishing up our Christmas shopping and we just have a few more things to buy. Aimee also sent out our Christmas cards last week and will be coming to a mail box near you. We also included our Holiday Photo for all to enjoy and no that thing on the left of Zoey is not a Rock, it's our turtle Monaco. Corey, Mel, Pete, Anne, Aimee & I are going to head down to the Holidazzle Parade on Sunday for some winter fun even though there is no snow and 40 degrees as of late. I wish we would get back into a cold snap so the ice can thicken for ice fishing.

Happy Holidays

Raising Cane's

Someone finally bought the old BK lounge on the corner of hwy 77 & 42. They are building a Raising Cane's restaurant. Their menu is chicken fingers, chicken fingers and more chicken fingers. I was personally hoping for a Sonic or the Castle but I'll give this new place a shot since I'm a sucker for processed fried chicken pieces.

Observations From Today...

...Lady in the car behind me on 160th st. I'm sorry I was drivin 55mph in a 50mph zone while the truck next to me was going the same speed but tailgating me just makes we want to go slower. Sorry you were unable to make it to your destination 30 seconds earlier because I'm sure that would have made a huge difference.

...Fleet Farm casher, putting a glass replacement for a lantern in the same bag with 3 metal U-bolts is not such a great idea. Metal has tendencies to break glass when the two meet.

...King Kong is a horrible movie. I'm not talking about the 1933 classic. I'm talking about Peter Jackson's slaughter of the 1933 classic. Maybe Peter Jackson should stick to making movies that appeal to the Dungeon & Dragon nerds of the world.

...Thank you Zoey for scratching at the door to indicate that you need to use the restroom instead of saturating the carpet full of dog urine.

...Even though the Gophers should have killed MSU I'm happy that they won 2-1 tonight.
