Let the Christmas season begin!

Us in front of the tree just after it was lit downtown – let’s see how much it leans this year. 

As a comparison, in 2006….

Please note the position of the tree topper.

The Hoff is Hooked on a Feeling

 

… wow. Just… wow. I know a few people who are going to love this.

$1.99 gas and a touch of the 70’s

  
It’s official – Vermont (we’re probably the last ones this happened to) finally hit below $2/gallon on gas. That’s crazy! I feel like it’s 2000 or something. Awesome.

Also, while we were at Dave’s parents for Thanksgiving, we found an… odd… article of clothing in his room…

Macy’s got RICK ROLL’D

Did anyone fall on the floor crying they were laughing so hard? Well, I did. My stomach hurts I was laughing so hard – that was amazing.

One chapter: Complete!

It’s about first kisses, so as of right now, it’s titled… wait for it… “First Kisses”! I’ve been debating putting up an excerpt, but I think I’ll put one up so that I feel like I’ve accomplished something thus far.

 

“The truth is that no one expects all of their first kisses to be the kind that sweep you off your feet (and perhaps make you do the patented girly kick, if applicable), but we do hope to have at least one. Just one kiss that you’ll always remember as the moment your heart skipped a beat, and you lost yourself in the moment entirely. Sometimes it’s with the person you spend the rest of your life with. Sometimes it’s just the person you happened to have the strongest physical connection with at the time. Either way, that’s okay. It isn’t the end of the world to have a phenomenal first kiss with someone you spend two weeks with before you realized their personality was less than desirable. And it isn’t the end of the world to have a so-so first kiss with the person you marry, move to suburbia and have three kids with.  Even though there may be a part of you that longs for another electrifying, hormone-rustling lip lock with the latest eye candy, just remember that being in a healthy and loving relationship should always be top priority. A first kiss doesn’t dictate the rest of your life. But the love that comes with the thousands that follow does.”

I’m currently thankful for MarioKart Wii that gives me a confidence boost everytime I get first place. What are you thankful for? 

Fun stuff before Turkey Day

Please take note of Mike's wife's handiwork - specifically the chick-egg.

 

 

My super awesome hand-turkey on Hector's office wall.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
