Cool Christmas Gift

"With a Gloss Rosewood exterior and a fine Spanish Cedar interior, this humidor will maintain up to 100 Cigars in perfect condition. A finely crafted Spanish Cedar tray and dividers are included. It is meticulously made and has Gold Plated hidden quadrant hinges and lock & key. The humidors include a hygrometer and a humidification system. The interior is lined with Spanish Cedar, which helps retain humidity, while preserving the cigars. It also enhances the aroma and taste, and deters bugs from destroying wrappers."

You would think that living in h-town would make this humidor easy to get to 70% humidity. Oddly enough, I'm still working at it. I think I need to get the polyglycol that is recommended. Off to the cigar shop I go, oh so torturous!

12:16 a.m. 1-1-2009 and I should lay off the champagne

Happy New Year everyone! I'm hoping my lovely Zune will magically fix itself like MS claims it will. I'm hoping I get to spend lots more time with my cool friends in 2009. I'm hoping I can add 5,000 miles (hopefully more) to my bike's odometer, that's motorcycle. And I hope I can add 40 miles a week to my bicycle's odometer as I start commuting to work. Lots of hopes and dreams for 2009. Stay safe!

A 4th of Independence with a 5th of Vodka

Happy 4th aka Independence to everyone. This is a show of the country club close to my house. I was having a few too many martinis to film upright :) hee hee hee

Is this not the cutest thing?

I came home to be greeted by this absolutely adorable box of chocolates. Have you ever seen something so cute? The zipper is even fully functional. Awww, "You Rock My World" too :)

Happy Holigays: The Return

It has become tradition that each year we host a white elephant gift exchange. This year, I decided to place some disposable cameras around the house so folks would snap some photos during the night. I've grabbed some highlights of the photos that resulted. I hope you enjoy!Finger puppets only after she was denied the duck!

Seriously, you just stole her finger puppets???

Do I really even care what's in the bag?

Na-nee-na-nee-boo-boo

Some how at this point, a camera war broke out

Don't mess with Camera Ninja - I can do it with 2 at a time

Look at the cuties

BUT I WANT A BITE

Fake smiles!

BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH!!!!

Am I annoying you?

Really, he poops candy!

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!

No more alcohol for you

And this adorable picture concludes the highlights. Have a safe and happy holigays!

Mallow Wars

Last weekend, we had a white elephant gift exchange. It was our second annual Happy Holigays. This party was really fun. I will have hundreds of photos later as I dropped the film off a few hours ago to be developed. This party, I decided to lay some disposable cameras around the house so folks could take some pictures for me during the night. I have no idea what kind of things I'll find when I go to pick up the photos, but that's part of the fun. So the only digital photos I have for the moment are the ones I'm including in this blog now. And some are pretty darn fantastic.

We started the party off right apparently. This is a shot of some of the alcohol we had. I think liquor may have contributed slightly to the hours that followed during the "after party party".

At some point in the night, a marshmallow fight broke out. It seems to be tradition. However this year, a marshmallow wrestling match broke out just moments after the marshmallow fight. So of course I snapped some photos of this event. Here I'm not sure what exactly Kim is saying to me except maybe "Thank you for getting proof of this moment in my life".

All I can say is..."YOU OWE ME!!!"

This is the end of our evening. One of my little cats sacked out on the sofa. I think the kitty had the right idea, curl up in a little ball and sleep until your body recovers.
