Kids' Holiday Party

Emma and Babuke made it to the holiday party this afternoon and we all had a flippin' blast! We saw the Chik-fil-A cow (Luke DID NOT like the cow but eventually built up the courage to give him a high five). We made cookies. We ate the cookies. We drank Juicy Juice (100% juice, right?). We saw Santa Claus (another high five was delivered by Lukey). Emma was so patient waiting in line for a creation from the balloon guy. Luke and I ran around the office. We ate chicken. He hit up Amrita's candy cache - Reece's Pieces, M&Ms, Crunch bars, and suckers. I changed a big ol' nasty diaper in the bathroom. Luke and I rode the elevator. The balloon guy twisted up a pink elephant for Emma and a Lightning McQueen for Luke. They went home jacked up on sugar. Hopefully at some point they went asleep.

Pretty good day

Woke up with a 6am text. Fell back asleep thinking about things. Woke up and struck an accord with Jooj. Not the best deal for me but I think it will work out best for us in the long-run. Showered, shaved, dressed. Good news from the cleaners. Pay day! Productive morning. Skyline for lunch with Debes. Productive day. Left early to go to the bank. Got mortgage straightened out. Car loan didn't quite work out. Oh well. Delicious dinner of sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus, and portobello mushrooms in pasta. Mickey Mouse Club and Agent Oso. Run over to Hatler. Move some furniture. Chill with Jooj. Hug kids. Pack up a few things. Eat some pizza. Head to Best Buy. Pick up keyboard and mouse and a $10 copy of Inglorious Basterds. Come home. Talk with mom and dad. Watch football. Play Plants Versus Zombies. Nightly concert from dad. Blog. Budget. Think about what kind of desk I'm going to buy. Sleep.

Studio Move

I have my paints and brushes and jars back with me. It's not quite a full-blown studio move but it's a start. I was so inspired by the Willem de Kooning exhibit at the MoMA in NYC. I hated it that things turned out the way they did after I got back. I'd like to be back in that creative frame of mind again. I was truly ready to squeeze some creative juices out.

Ew, that came out a little gross.

Fell asleep a winner...

... but woke up a loser.

The overnight points adjustment ruined the FFL championship run for the Wyld Stallyns. Some bad coaching decisions doomed us as early as Thursday night's game. I just had so much going on that FFL was not a priority. Drats!

So while our opponent will be battling in the semi-finals the Wyld Stallyns (7-5, 1-1) will be scrapping it for third place. Can't wait 'til next year.

In other FFL news, the L'ville Gunners (4-8, 1-0) crushed their opponent over the last two-week play-off game and will be playing in the consolation brackets for fifth over the next two weeks.

I do so love FFL. But I'm always glad when it's over. Then I can stop worrying about stats and just watch some damn football.

Oh Lawd...

... won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?

Actually, ignore that request. I just bought one for myself tonight :)

Last post

This will be my last post for a while. The words that I write, and even the words I don't write, are being used against me.

Funny, I was just telling someone yesterday that, of all my resolutions, blogging everyday was the one I thought I would drop first. As it turns out, completing that task was well in hand.

Adios. Ciao. Bai.
