Little time till Christmas

My son and I went out yesterday shopping for his mother/my wife.
Everything was successful and we actually had a good time in the mall.
Crowded, but we seem to fit just in between the cracks and the line ups weren't that bad.
The parking lots were the worse, as people get behind the wheel of a car and they get instant stupid, or as my Father say's "another brain fart."

Then last evening went to this friends of the family Christmas party and had a good time. It might be their last one as the lady who is pushing 70, finds it too much stress and work.
It's funny, her hubby of 49 years is loaded and always wants this party, but does little of the work. He could have it catered no problem, but he insists that "they" do it.
How loaded?
Next year it's their 50th aniversary and he's taking all four of his grown children and spouses to a Caribbean cruise for a week. Minimum 3 grand a person!
The last cruise he tto with his wife was in Asia and it cost over 30 grand.

I would like to start having a annual Christmas party around now for a few friends, relatives and neighbours so if they cancel theirs I might do it in some similar form. Next year of course. And with my wife's approval.
Anyways Christmas is only 8 days away, yahoo....

Fresh and positive

Well my wife finally has gotten rid of her hangover. Saturdy night to Tuesday morning beats my record. I don't think our son is scarred over this and I don't think he wants to drink anytime because of her.

My neck is alot better today, but I still didn't play hockey. I figured 1 jolt and I'm screwed and I can't work with that much discomfort.

I was talking to a guy at work today, 37ish and the "flow" problems he was having.
Enlarge prostrate was one of the main problems. He's on medication for that now, after having it examined.
He said that wasn't that big of a deal compared to the probe they stuck up his uretha.
Never does he want that to happen again, along with the pissing of razor blades.
Sucks getting old sometimes.

Haven't got anything for my wife for Christmas, nor have I got any idea what to get her.
She wants perfume but we're going away in less than a month and buying it duty free will be about half price.
Thought about a necklace, but were on a $100.00 bdget.
I may be screwed!
