Happy Birthday Pup!
And TGIF to all... We have a busy weekend too... Mother in laws 60th tomorrow evening after an repeat try at sailing, which will probably be canceled considering we happened to choose the only 2 weekends it has rained here in the last year. Christmas tree Sunday... And then a couple of quick days at work then off to Austin to find a house next week. Need to do laundry somewhere in there, and the new tv arrives Monday... Fun for all!
Hope everyone has a good day!
 
Morning everyone!! I think I'm going to see Breaking Dawn this morning. And later tonight I'm planning on having dinner with friends at our favorite local Mexican restaurant. This is all dependent upon my migraine staying away again which would be wonderful.
 
BB, when migraine strikes the Darling Bride I give her an aspirin powder, ibuprofen and acetaminophen pills and orange juice. Knocks it out. I figure between the 3 of them, ONE has got to hit it :)

Good luck with everything Ryan. I thought about you yesterday when i found out another friend of mine may be moving to Austin too. Like you it will be for his job, but he hates moving his family from Phoenix.
 
Morning folks! Christmas season is upon us! Got some church related things tonight and in the morning that will officially kick off our season. Pretty excited about it all!

The wife dragged me to that movie last weekend, I'm embarrased to say. All & all not to bad. Hope you get to feeling better. :tee:

Happy Birthday Pup. :eek::aetsch:

I love Christmas time too! All the toys my kids get that I get to put together for them! :D

It's funny how things change as you get older. At least for me, when I was younger, all I cared about what what toys or how much money I was getting. Now I honestly wish we would cancel the gifts between the adults at all the gatherings and just give to the kids. There's nothing anyone could get me that I couldn't go out myself and get if I wanted to. It means something that they care enough to do it, but the gift itself really doesn't bring me any joy now. I'd rather them have saved their money or given it to charity or the kids or something. We don't have kids of our own yet, but the part I love most about Christmas now is seeing our nieces open their presents and helping out my younger brother by getting him some things he can't afford now that he's in college.

When / if you have children you will relive your childhood excitement all over again.

Oh I'm sure Pup. I know how excited we both get shopping for and watching our nieces on Christmas. Wife is terrified that we're going to end up with all girls if we have multiple kids because I'm a pushover with them. :D
 
I definitely enjoy the giving more than the recieving. But not just the kids. I love getting something for my wife, especially when I know its the PERFECT gift. It doesn't always have to cost money though. I did a video/photo slideshow for her for Mother's day, cost me $2 for the DVD, and $3 for the songs I bought to overlay. She played it two or three times a day for a week, and cried every time :) THAT was a good gift :D

Oh definitely! Those are always the better types of gifts in the wife's eyes.
 
I should try this:

:D :D :D
 

Chief, I'm the type that would wrap that and put it under the tree for my enjoyment when the unsuspecting teenager opened it. Then I'd hand them the real thing.:D

Reminds me of what I did a few years ago. I got Pam concert tickets but they did not arrive in time. Instead I got a huge box and filled it with crumpled up pieces of paper the all said "Not this one," "Try another," and "Maybe the next one." Probably a ream of paper. Finally, I printed the arena seating chart, drew an arrow to where her seats were and wrote a little note what her gift was.

It was a good thing she really wanted those tickets or I may not have survived.:D
