    Awake

    Has anyone been watching this new TV show? There have been 2 episodes so far and I love it. I can't figure out if the son or the wife is alive. I wonder if they are both dead and he is dreaming? Perhaps he is really dead and they are alive.

    Oh no no cable!

    We had no cable or internet today from 8:45am to 7:15pm. The kids were in shock! :eek: I just laughed! We played 4 different board games and played outside too. It was a great day. We just finished dinner and the kids are watching TV now. I don't mind no cable days!

    Dealing with a pets death

    We have a sick dog (boxer) and I'm afraid we will have to put her down. It's such a hard decision... She has been sick for over a month (seizures). The medicine is not helping her at all. She is getting worse day by day. I don't want to tell the kids that we have to put her down. I would rather...

    Comfort foods!

    My Gram passed away this past week so we have been eating a lot of comfort foods. Tonight we had a big family dinner, ham and scalloped potatoes. Friday night we had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. What is your comfort food?

    Baby showers at work

    I have a pregnant co-worker and they are talking about throwing her a baby shower. I'm not sure that I need to buy her anything. I mean I don't really know her that well, and I am a guy. Thoughts?

    Mini cupcakes

    My daughter got a mini cupcake maker for Christmas. It's not an easy bake oven, it's a machine that you can only make mini cupcakes in. It's pretty neat honestly. She has made cupcakes every night this week. She has always loved to bake, now she can without using the oven.

    Pizzaz!

    My wife bought me a Pizzaz for Christmas and I love it. It's a machine that you can cook a pizza on. The pizza sits on the pizza pan and it rotates and cooks. It's pretty neat - you don't even have to start your stove anymore. Anyone else have one of these?

    Seriously? Sale or not we did not need it

    My wife drives me crazy! I just helped her clean out the Christmas card stash - we tossed boxes of cards out. She went with my daughter to Wal-Mart yesterday and came home with 4 new boxes of cards. That is not all, she also had 15 new rolls of wrapping paper. I know it's on sale and it's cheap...

    The Dump

    I hate going to the dump! I have to make a run to the dump today to get rid of garbage. My kids helped me get the recyclables ready to go. We have so many boxes and wrapping paper to get rid of. Anyone else going to the dump?

    Chili and venison

    I made chili yesterday and I put venison burger in instead of beef burger. I was given a deer by a buddy and we had a lot of it turned into hamburger and a few steaks. The kids did not even want to try the burger! Well I tricked them and they loved the chili. They were trying to guess what was...

    We planned it! We are going to my brothers for New Years – he just recently moved to NJ (about 30 minutes from Atlantic City and an hour from the beach). My sister and her family and my dad and my family – we are all going. He has a huge house (renting and the company he works for is paying for...

    Boy scouts

    My son wants to start Boy Scouts – he is 10. I guess he did not want to join when he was younger but now he has some friends that are in it. I am not sure how it works – don’t you have to start at the lowest level? It’s not like Girl Scouts where you just start with your age group?

    Allergies again

    How in the world could my allergies be acting up again? It’s been cold here – and we have had several frosts! Yet here I sit all stuffy and then runny and itchy! I’m tired of allergies! Anyone else feeling the same?

    $271 per kid

    I read online today that a survey shows that most parents spent $271 on each child for their Christmas gifts. Wow, I’m way off! We spent much more than that per child. The iPod alone was $195 plus tax. Are parents really spending $271 a child? I wonder where the survey was taken – it did not...

    Cable deal -

    I’m switching my cable plan this weekend. I am paying more for internet/cable then I would be for internet/cable and phone. I got a letter from the cable company telling me that I’m paying too much! Am I the last person in the world to not have a “bundle deal”?

    Argument

    We are having a family argument at my house. My wife wants to take my daughter out of school early this Friday to go Christmas shopping and spend the day together. I don’t think it’s a good reason to get out of school early. My daughter is a Straight A student but I still think it’s a bad...

    BB gun

    I want to get my son a BB gun for Christmas but my wife is saying no. He is 10 and I think it’s a fine age for a gun. I’m pretty sure I had one at the age of 10. When did you get a BB gun for your son? Do you think I’m being unrealistic?

    NBA - Christmas?

    I just heard that the NBA might start out on this season on Christmas. Well I say it's about time. It's not for sure yet though! I don't think they should start on Christmas day but that is their problem for holding out so long.

    Cashed in with movies

    We bought a ton of movies on Black Friday. They were all $5 at Wal-Mart and 1 was $9. I love movie nights with the kids. My daughter wanted 27 dresses and my son wanted Zookeeper. Those are 2 that we bought.

    Gift card sale

    Score! I was listening to the radio at work yesterday and I heard about a half-off gift card sale. I figured there would be nothing that I would want. I called the station and I ended up getting 2 local restaurant gift cards – 2, $20 for each, a mani/pedi gift certificate for half off (2 of...
