It is just now Christmas and in a good Christmas tradition I got a bag of crap from Woot.com.

Merry Christmas, let us remember the real reason we celebrate, and it isn't a Bag of Crap or Woot.com.

Happy Christmas to All and To All A Good Night

Annie told me last night that I hadn't updated the blog lately.   I looked and I had in the last 10 days.  But, I guess that isn't enough for her.  

Things are going well.   Annie is on a two hour delay due to snow last night while we slept, so she is sleeping.   I am up and working on a project that has tanken way too long.  But come hell or high water I am going to finish it today.

Annie has been a grading machine for about a month now.  She grade ALL OF THE TIME.  Teachers are way underpaid for the hours and crap they have to go through.   Will Obama fix that?  I HOPE he will. But, I won't be holding my breath.

Annie is getting quite preggars these days.  She entered her third trimester which is both exciting and scary.  The boy has been kicking and punching all over the place in there.

I wonder if Chuck Norris trains babies in the womb?

Excited to eat dinner with my step brother Grant  and his significant other Andrea (they form one and become Grandrea) this evening.   Grant...

I was beginning to suspect that it might be winter.  I mean, it has been really cold.   I can see my breath.   I wear big socks and slippers all day and wrap up in blankets.  

However, what officially makes it Winter in my book is when I have to get out the old Snow Shovel and clear off the driveway and sidewalk.  Well, today was that day.   We got somwhere between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, I suspect. 

Very fluffy, great for skiing type snow, so it was an easy shovel.  I love having this snow before Christmas, makes all of the songs seem some what real.

In other news tomorrow is December 7, which is Pearl Harbor day.  This year it falls on a Sunday which is the day it actually happened on.  I know as I get up tomorrow my thoughts will wonder back to 1941 and what it must have been like then.

I saw this video on another blog and I really liked it.



It reminds me of something I heard my freshman year of college in a Bible class.  The professor was talking about the upcoming final and said something along the lines of, "Don't wish for the next two weeks to be over because you will never get those two weeks back".  

That has always stuck with me and since that day I have seldom ever wished to "get something over with".  I try to at least give what ever I am doing a chance and to my surprise I generally end up really enjoying it.

I believe is it super important to have goals, but enjoy the experience along the way as well.   I am reminded of a tagline in a series of videos I watched on YouTube.com called ScootStars.  The intro said, "It's the journey, not the destination".

We arrived back to Indy last night to snow on the ground. As a kid whneever we came up to visit our relatives I was always jealous that Indy had snow and that we didn't. Now I live up here and I really still enjoy it. I like the weather much better here, then in Evansville where I grew up.Anyway, we had a great Thanksgiving Break. We ate a lot, but didn't overeat. I weigh the same as when I worked out last Tuesday. So that is good.Annie and I both got head colds but they didn't slow us down too much.We saw all of the major family components and got to spend a little time with each, but none of them too long though.I went to my 10 year high school reunion. I enjoyed very much. Living 4 hours away from where you grew up doesn't really allow me to see people I know from school that much.I got to hang out with some of my firneds who I stil keep in touch with, but just don't see that often, so that was fun.Now it is back to work for a few weeks and then another break.Happy Christmas...
