Pirate Jesus and the Fancy Holiday Party of Doom

So over the weekend I attended Kath's workplace Christmas party. It was the first Christmas party I've been to since 1997. I've never been to my current jobs party in 6 years of working there and have no plans to do so this year. Kath's party was cool. We sat with Rob and Nicole and I met several of Kaths co workers. Kelso in particular made me laugh. The attire was formal and Nic actually wore her hair down, She has some cool hair. I had a great time. Dinner was awesome and Kath and I both won door prizes, The coolest guy at the shindig kind of ressembled Jesus. Oh and the best part was he was wearing a puffy pirate shirt much like Jerry Seinfeld in that famous Seinfeld episode. Boy could he cut a rug on the dance floor!! Oh and there was a huge slideshow montage of all the different events held over the last year, My daughter actually made it into 3 slides!! SHe had her picture taken a bunch of times at a family day event. She made it into the slides more times than Kath's boss!! My daughter the superstar!!

Finally! A Good mood for Jay

Well will wonders never cease? For the first time in awhile I'm in an awesome mood! It's been a rough couple of weeks. I've had nothing but yelling customers. One charming gentleman called me a nut bag. Actually that one was funny. I've had a headache for a couple of days and just havent felt very happy. Today I couldnt be better. I'm off and at home with Diana. She's cracking me up. Its pretty nice outside. No bills arrived. Its a comic book Wednesday complete with the first issue of Kevin Smith's Batman mini series. The kid didnt wake me up too early. I'm fully awake. I've lost 2 pounds despite cheating my ass of and not sticking to my diet. We found a baby sitter so we can attend Kath's Christmas party on Saturday' Oh and to top things off? The super friends we are watching has the Atom on it!! The only thing that could make it better would be to have Kath here and catching up on our shows. I shouldnt get to used to it though. Tomorrow its back to the ol' grind. But on the bright side I am off on Saturday. Holy i only have to work one more time this week!! For today anyhow to quote Joe Walsh-life's been good to me so far!

dude time to grow up

I have a quick question. What's the deal with the guitar player from Ac Dc? He's like 100 and still dressing like a school boy. How was that ever cool by the way? I was a kid and i thought that was lame. That is the question i am pondering today. Thank you

stupid weezer singer looking border guard

Went to the States on Sunday with Kath and our friend Nicole. Had a pretty good time grocery shopping. I met Nicole and her boyfriend Rob this year. Kath works with Nicole. They are pretty cool people and we have a common interest in the show Stargate. I'm glad i have Kath to introduce me to new people because i really suck at meeting new friends and for some reason even at age 39 I get shy. Nicole is a bit younger than us and this Sunday i realized that technically I am old enough to be her dad. Thats ok though. I'm old. Anyhow we got held up at the border and after waiting for what seemed like days we got to the customs window. The guy looked like a 12 year old version of Rivers Cuomo the lead singer from Weezer. Nic thinks it was the kids first day on the job because he kept repeating the same questions and asked us how much we spent even though he had all our reciepts in his hand. Anyhow thats about it for now.

Halloween recap

Wow forgot to mention how halloween went. So Diana finally settled on a costume the night before. All month she changed her mind at least 3 times a day. She wanted to be everything from a pumpkin to "Indy" Jones. We thought at long last she was going to be Cinderella. She even had a Cinderella dress. Kath and I were going to be Batman and Batgirl. We found cheap Batman masks and capes from the dollar store. To cap off our costumes Kath stitched bat symbols to our black sweat shirts. Sure the costumes were cheap but we were just going to be walking around our complex. So while Kath was getting the shirts ready Diana decided she wanted to be Robin. Even though she had a cinderella costume this was kind of cool. She had her robin costume from the comic book convention and now we could be one happy Bat family. On October 31st we stepped out of the house and realized that we were the only adults dressed up this year. No worries our friends John and Rach always dress up. That wasnt to be the case this year. Oh well. Trick or treating was fun. Everyone loved Diana's costume and a few times kids would say hi Batman to me. Diana was done trick or treating about half an hour after we started. Kath and i sat out for the next hour and handed out candy. Gotta tell ya,not real impressed with the costumes this year. A lot of kids showed up with no costumes at all. Kath finally called a girl out and asked why no costume. The kids answer : "I'm a bully." Touche costumeless kid. Getting tired okids with unoriginal costumes we took the last 10 recces peanut butter cups inside and called it a night. Can't wait for next year to see what Diana wants to dress as. Should be interesting.

tree time

Its been kind of a stressful last couple weeks. Things keep happening that we have no control over. Work has been brutal as well. I feel mad all the time and the customers are annoying me more than usual. I feel like i had better calm down or run the risk of getting fired. Getting fired would suck for my family. So my solution to cheer up? Thats right we're putting up our christmas tree! Only about 45 days before christmas!! Hopefully the sight of the tree will make me happier. We get cool ornaments every year. Many of them have nothing to do with Christmas. I think Darth Vader, The Flash and Mark Maguire fit in well with Santa and Frosty. Well wish me luck in reducing the stress other wise i may get fitted for a straight jacket.
