jvlgato Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Spent last night getting ready for the big weekend - double birthday party today for the kids (actual bdays 12-31 for Maya and 12-26 for Daniel, both 6 now), then having friends over for dinner and overnight for New Year's, then Anne's family visiting tomorrow for the holidays, since we went to my family for Xmas this year. All good stuff, but pretty tiring! Here's a pic of the double brownie cake (Star Wars/Hello Kitty if it doesn't show well in the lousy Blackberry pic) Anne made for the kids, which I thought was really cute: I bet you never did anything like THAT, Mister Baker man, Spritzer! Feeling Nate's pain - also fighting a sore throat this week. Blah. Edited December 31, 2010 by jvlgato
Salt Peanuts Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Took down the ornaments and lights from the Christmas tree. Then I cut off a bit of the tree to make an ornament for Libby from her first tree. Now I'm covered in sap and the house is full of pine needles.
laxx Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Just woke up, lol. Gonna go hit the gym now.
Dreadhead Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Finally went to home depot and bought some 1/4" plywood to turn my single shelves of CD's into double stacked shelves and hence have solved my CD space issues. more room for pop music
Wmcmanus Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Some dickwad scratched the fuck out of the side of my pickup truck just now in a grocery store parking lot. It's about 18" long and fairly well grooved. Definitely won't buff out completely. Looks more like the work of a shopping cart than another vehicle. Sucks, but I guess I'll get over it. Bought the truck new in '07. It has just under 30k miles and has been trailer-kept most of the time.
Craig Sawyers Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Some dickwad scratched the fuck out of the side of my pickup truck just now in a grocery store parking lot.

Bought the truck new in '07. It has just under 30k miles and has been trailer-kept most of the time. That is a real bummer to see 2010 out. Sorry to hear; I must admit that on the rare occasion that I've done something similar I always leave an apologetic note at least, and/or my phone number. But here in the UK, 20% of drivers have no insurance - yes, around 10 million drivers (plus) have no insurance. So there is little self-interest in such scumbags owning up. Hugely illegal of course. Police now have number plate recognition cameras in an attempt to root this out.
shellylh Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Took a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. Also, tried to organize my liquor cabinet a bit. During: After: Edited December 31, 2010 by shellylh
Craig Sawyers Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 What is with the double posts!!! Um - pardon? I don't see double posts - you didn't do a New Year's Eve sampling while you sorted out the liquor cabinet
shellylh Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Interesting, I changed the double post so fast, it didn't get listed as "edited." Sampling would have probably been a bad idea.
Salt Peanuts Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear about your car, Wayne. Dang, Shelly, color me jealous. Sorry to hear about your experience at the post office, Jacob. Edited December 31, 2010 by Salt Peanuts
en480c4 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Did our first wedding registry at Bed, Bath and Beyond... Out of everything, registering seems to make it the most real. Holy shit, I'm actually getting married!
Aimless1 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Drove 50 miles to a country meat market buying fresh butchered organic beef, pork & chicken. Broke the optical connectors on two toslink cables. Now making chili. Think I'll relax easing out of 2010 and starting 2011.
n_maher Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Did our first wedding registry at Bed, Bath and Beyond... Out of everything, registering seems to make it the most real. Holy shit, I'm actually getting married! Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time. College Student: A big day? Doing what? Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.
Aimless1 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 i hope you had a third toslink cable! Main and back up cables both went within 5 minutes of each other. Scrounged around and found a 3rd optical cable. Too short but will do. Now if I can just figure out where to get new connectors and then how to put them on.
Craig Sawyers Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 3am, too much alcoholic anaesthetic. G'night and Happy New Year!
Wmcmanus Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Took a closer look at the scratch and it will mostly buff out. I don't think what will remain will be all that distracting, at least after I get used to it being there. That's life, I guess. ... Ordered a pizza tonight figuring it was my last chance to be bad before I recommit to Atkins beginning tomorrow. It was kind of an interesting conversation: Me: "I'll have a medium special" (looking at the menu, that's a $13.05 pizza). Pizza guy (who is kind of a hippy with lots of tattoos and face jewelry): "You can get a large special for $8.88." Me: "But I'm not that hungry and want to get back on my diet tomorow. If there are leftovers, that will fuck with my head. Either I throw away perfectly good food, or I eat it, knowing that it's bad for me. Lose/lose situation." Pizza guy: "Ehh. I see what you mean... whatever you do you lose." Me (looking a bit confused, I'm sure): "Ya, thus my lose/lose comment. You hungry?" Pizza guy: "Actually, I am, and I'll be lucky to get out of here by midnight. Old lady's gonna be pissed if I'm not there..." Me: "Ok, so I'll take the large, but I only want half of it. Put the other half in a separate box and keep it for yourself. Happy New Year." ... It's not a resolution as such, just a good way to mark time and to check my progress from month to month. Went from 310 to 251 this past year, but then got off the wagon and was back up to 269 the other day.
Augsburger Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Spent the day reading all the double posts.

Wmcmanus Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Rebuilt the wall in my motorhome that I tore apart yesterday, after first reinforcing it with studs and such. Now it should be able to take the weight of a wall mount and 50" plasma. Viewing distance will be about 6' from the screen. Hope that's not too close.
Fitz Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 It'll be just like sitting in the front row at the theater.
laxx Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Hit up a club with a bunch of my friends. Had a good time, until I found out the girls some of us were with... go to HS. How the hell do they get in...
