Took a plate of the Christmas dinner I cooked over to the bar next door for the tender who had to work not only Christmas Eve, but Christmas Day as well. She was so thankful, she gave me a hug! Made me feel good to do something nice for someone else.

Surprise, surprise, Steven is wasted....has been, for a while, I want to play video games.

Low key, but, good day.

Tomorrow it is back to work, three days till the weekend, I'll be honest and admit I do not want to work tomorrow, but I gotta make that money. :reallymad:
 
Glad that my 4 hours of Christmas day driving is done. It was a very enjoyable time at my sister's place today - wonderful meal and my 2 year-old nephew is a hoot - but glad to be done with it for another year.

I actually kinda lied about New Year's Eve. My family has trumped up a new tradition of going to this very nice steak house on New Year's Eve. It's been going on for about 10 year's I guess. That one ends up being like 6 hours of driving for me (best case scenario) because not only do I have to go get my brother and take him home after, my parents want me to pick them up as well (because my dad likes to have a few drinks there but he doesn't want to drink and drive - commendably - and my mum doesn't like to drive after dark any more.)

I like my family and it's a very nice steak at this place but 6 hours of driving around for it is just ridiculous. So I said I had made other plans.

Screw it.

And let me just say (once again in the hope and belief that no one from my family is looking at this site) that my family seems to have terrible taste in calendars.

I was complaining a while back about this eyesore of a calendar I have been using for all of 2012 - which someone gave me last Christmas. It has cats photo-shopped into various yoga poses. Supposed to be cute and funny I guess - but ugh!

Well I got a new little calendar in my stocking yesterday. Bottom line: there is no way I am looking at that thing every day of 2013. Again the theme is cats - which is a good general idea. My family knows me and my love of cats. It's not like they are missing the target by a million miles. But it is these grotesque cartoon cats. It's just unsightly.

They are drawn by Gary Patterson which may mean something to some people? He is a known guy apparently.

Anyway, as I say, I am not going through another year with a calendar I can't stand.

Remind me to go get a calendar in the next few days. Kthanx.
 
As for calendars, the best way to give a gift in this way is to make it personal.

I made a desktop calendar for my Mom last year of just my cat in various poses of pictures that I took throughout the years.

She loved it. She still talks about that calendar.

This year I get her one that was similar, but pictures of the family from various years. Lots of sites do them but I like Snapfish.
