St. Nick Job Approval Rating
This year, I am glad to report, we did, in fact, NOT rot in hell for Christmas. This made all involved very happy. Sure, maybe we didn't get out as many Christmas cards as we would have liked, or even in a timely manor. But we did get those suckers out, and I'm sorry if you weren't in the lucky bunch. Marigold has posted a pictorial version on her site, if you aren't too slighted to check it out.
It was great to stomp around the old grounds and to see da niece, and nephew again. We wish that we could have seen more people, like all the TaeKwonDo pals, but Christmas could not afford the time.
One of Marigold's presents hasn't arrived yet, and that is very disappointing/disconcerting. But the rest of the gifts went over well. She got a Rio Chiba MP3 player for me, which I am very happy to have. It ain't no iPod, but it is more than enough to get me through the day. Now I can rawk. I couldn't before, butt now I can. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Masserano blessed me with a coveted copy of the Civilization 3. Now I can completely waste all my time (the new quarter starts up next Monday) on this all-consuming game. Who wants to play with me? While I will be doing that Marigold will be playing all kinds of crazy Sims. She now has two new expansion packs for the original game and the newer and improvier Sims 2. We don't plan on seeing each other for the next few weeks.
Picture this: Hours of silence. Suddenly, me shouting over my shoulder, but not averting my gaze from the computer screen, "I love you?" Marigold barely glancing up from her laptop in the other room, "Yes, and I love you." Hours of silence.
And for Alicia's birthday present from me I have added a handy link to her live journal. Don't say it's too much, because I wanted to do it.

I love the insider's view into your marriage! Sigh. So romantic!

Well, looks like mp3 players were the *in* thing for loving wifeys to give their geeky hubbies this year!
Thanks again for your help with Justin's gift. I *think* he likes it, but I'm really not sure... you know how emotive he is!
And lastly, I am so glad that I am finally "good enough" or whatever to have a link on your page...
