The holidays are in full blast

For starters, Jewel did score the coveted special gift when she went out on Friday morning.
Friday I had to work, so didn't go with her. I bowled for shit and played Mr. Mom all week-end while she worked. It was a completely new experience for me. I'm the one that usually worked weekends, so I din;t have to put up with the little shits.

I went to a party Friday night after bowling at my oldest brother's house to kick off the holiday season. It was a mellow little event....until my side of the family showed up. We all met at the bowling alley and drove there in a caravan. Once we arrived, all hell broke loose. We were loud and rowdy and the conversation soon turned to midgets. Turns out my step-niece was trying in vain to find little people to serve at her wedding, this sent my youngest brother over the edge. He couldn't stop talking about midgets all night. Of course neither could the other 9 of us in the family. I guess I now see why we were quickly pushed into the 4 season room while the "guests" were in the dining room.
I am now actively seeking a midget to come to my sister's house the day before Christmas Eve so they can hand out presents for us. I'm not sure if I'll have any success, but it will be hilarious, regardless the cost!

On the final note, work is progressing well, I'm enjoying time off and the ability to "leave it at the office".
