Today was my birthday…

Last night at the home of Blogospeer and Debily, we opened my first present (I fergit which was xmas and which was birthday), a black t-shirt with four san-serif characters, and it expressed perfectly about my feelings about the beginning of my 40th year.

meh.

The actual birthday day part was quite pleasant. I spoke on the phone with my parents and all of my siblings. I slept in. I ate at my favorite restaurant (Original Pancake House – Plano) and had a yummy breakfast. Spent money on Wii games at Target. Ate a yummy supper of spaghetti with my family. Played Wii Play with the family.

Time well spent

OMG!! We Gotta WII!!!!!!!

I gotta admit, I was about as excited as the kids.  I knew about it for months, its only that life’s been soooo busy that I haven’t taken it to work to ‘test’ it. 🙂

Grandma Rain was the gracious benefactor, and she included the following games in the take:

  • Wii Sports (included, but cool!)
  • Sims 2 Castaways
  • Madden 2008
  • Avatar – The Burning Earth
  • Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
  • Super Paper Mario
  • Dewy’s Adventure
  • Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

I got some of the books on my list, a überkool laptop desk (Ikea Dave), shirts and stuff.  But the highlight was watching the kids open that box.  The girls are swooning over their new santa delivered cell-phones, and Dan’s enjoying his MP3, and MJ is now a ninja spy with gadgets and weapons.  MJ’s also the best wii bowler in his age group. 

Merry Christmas!

No, there is too much. Let me sum up

Wife: Wonderful, but busy with work and kids

Kids: lovable, but with full schedules

Work: busy, but rewarding.

Christmas season: Just us, but a welcome reprieve.Church: Sunday School continues, Upward season is upon us.

Hobbies: No time for hobbies. 🙂

Merry Christmas -  Talk to you in March.  (I kid)
