The Perfect Christmas Gift

Pre-Christmas Get Together

Last Saturday we went to Mom and Dad's house with Vicky, Rich, Becca, and Richie. We all met up with Auntie Joyce and Ed for a pre-Christmas meal. It was nice to see everyone. We need to get together more frequently. I agree with my Mum, everyone thinks too much about presents this time of year and really the best part about the Christmas season is spending time with friends and family.

It's that time of year again

You need to beware of wild, roaming, rabid dogs! This one only comes out when it snows. Bogey loves catching the snow as I shovel it off the deck.

Do you see a difference?

I've been trying to lose a little bit of weight like everyone else before the holidays. I also had an ulterior motive, to get the best life insurance quote possible when we upped our coverage. So here is a picture from November 1st:



And this is a picture from today, do you see a difference?


I hope to stay about the same weight. I feel better and look better. I just need to keeping getting off my butt and doing something exercise-wise. I'll worry about this after I get a 5-Guys burger and fries (I'm only human).
