    Her career is still holding up, so it's all good.

    If it was a nightmare for her, then it was a nightmare for me.


    Thank goodness for Jamie Lynn Spears.

    Bought myself a 2nd 8800 GPU. Should be here in a few days.

    Getting a Newegg.com gift card I think, I don't really have anythign I want.

    If I could have what I wanted, it would have been to have xmas with my family at home...in Dhahran.

    Going to be the WORST xmas ever. Oh well.

    Merry Christmas to all of you.

    So far, it's my BIRFDAY! W00T! I'm so old now. :(

    Did get a 160 GB iPod to replace the 80 I filled up which I will now replace with video for plane rides, plus my brother bought me a Stilleto II Sirius so I can listen to Stern at work. 2 bottles of Frog Leap wine kicked ass, too.

    I'M SO WASTED AND IT REWELS!

    Bad thing- I went to piss by a tree while at a large family get together on Lake Houston, and as I went to fart I beer **** my boxser briefs. That completely sucked. Went commando and threw the dirty undies in the lake.

    I have an alcohol problem. It rules. My buttocks are very clean now, though. Happy to update you all.

    So far, just the wife and I exchanged gifts (family coming over later). Man, she sucks at gifts for me. LOL!!

    She got me:

    1) New haircutting razor. - Not bad. She shaves my head for me and the razor we have it kind of wonky.

    2) Replacement rechargeable battery pack for my 360 controller. - OK, not too bad again considering the two I have are dying but seems like an odd Xmas gift.

    3) A small framed pic of the group Queen with some sort of film cell in it. - Interesting. I like their music but not an overly big fan and not a big music person overall anyway. Not sure what she thinks I will do with this other than put it in a closet and have it collect dust.

    4) A wallet with the Rockets logo on it. - Um, it's Rockets related which is always cool, but a wallet? I am almost 30 yrs. old and a Production Manager of a local magazine. Not sure how the Rockets motif fits into my work attire or the fact I'm not 10 yrs. old. Even worse is she has already put a group picture of me, her and our son in it. So, does this mean i REALLY have to use it?


    I got her a new 8 GB IPOD Nano, 2 Pandora Jewelry birth stones and a $25 Fry's Gift Card. Yea, I lost out on that deal especially considering I gave her some of my Xmas bonus to shop for me.

    I mean, I usually am just happy when I get things for people they really love, but it kind of sucks when you get a small pile of crap in return. I guess it's the thought that counts, right?

    PS3 :eek: , 7 Blu-rays :D , Air Purifier(for the burning of the tricomes! 4:20!! ;) , 2 Fry's gift cards, shower accessories, and candles.

    Giftwise, I had a great Christmas. A couple of things went a little fruit cup on me but it is what it is. All my gifts are from the people that I actually care about so that's always a great thing.

    I finally got the blue to match the red. Also got a VERY GOOD collection to start off with. They include The Usual Suspects, The Simpsons Movie, Spiderman 3, Apocalypto, etc.

    But yea... Merry Christmas to all you cupcakes on here. And lets hope the Rockets give us effort the rest of the season and everything will pan out.

    I gotta go check on some Colombian empanada orders now we've actually been busy today, but at least we are closing early...

    Peace.

    I got a Dell 27" LCD. It's pretty sweet. No dead pixels. No problems so far.

    It's a definite but welcome adjustment from my CRT.

    I also got tickets to see Van Halen March 3rd here in Dallas. I definitely wasn't expecting that.

    I got some cooking utensils, a DVD of The One Armed Swordsman, a talking picture frame of my two young cousins and a good meal.

    Not bad but I've long since given up expecting to get stuff.
