Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake.
Actually it snowed last night for the first time and it is was about 30 degrees on the way to work today. I’d love to be somewhere warm right now, anyone have a network security job on a warm tropical island?
Here is a picture of our first Christmas tree in all of its glory!
Note: The Homer Simpson Doll, SpongeBob and Patrick ornaments are mine. The other girly stuff is Melissa's.
Everyone has probably seen that Verizon commercial with the guy singing the theme song from Dukes of Hazard. If you are anything like me that song gets stuck in your head and you walk around humming it for the next 6 hours. So I went out on the internet and found an MP3 of the theme song at thedukesofhazards.nl.
Here are the words in case you want to sing along:
Just the good ol' boys,
Never meanin' no harm,
Beats all you've ever saw,
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.
Straight'nin' the curve,
Flat'nin' the hills.
Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will.
Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just the good ol' boys,
Wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood...
Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving. I had a pretty good day, except I lost quite a few turkeys at the poker table tonight!
Thanksgiving pictures can be found here.
I guess the Christmas season started this afternoon. Missy and I came home and my favorite christmas movie of all time was already on tv. Are you ready?
Last night Nick, Eric and I went and played virtual golf at a new place called TK Brothers in Columbia. It had the Full Swing Golf simulator and some kick-butt ribs. I think we found a new cool place to hang out and play some golf during the winter.
We also stopped by Best Buy to scope out a Refrigerator and Washer/Dryer for Nick’s new house and I wanted to look at some LCD TVs.
Other then that I learned that Penguins have feathers. (Thanks Eric!)
Yeah, I know it’s early but I had some time tonight while Missy was out proctoring a test at Linn State so I wrote out my Christmas wish list tonight incase Santa reads my website.

I think this is my first "grown up" Christmas list (except for the Simpson's stuff). I am having a hard time thinking of what I really want this year for Christmas, It would be nice to have an Xbox 360 but it doesn’t seem like it is worth $400.
Now I need Missy to make a list like this so I know what to get her : )
The red cross was at the capitol today having a blood drive and since I haven’t gave in a while I figured today would be a good day to do so. They had the blood drive setup in the capitol rotunda, which has to be the most beautiful place I have ever given blood (Beats the heck out of old gyms and community centers).
I try to give blood every time I have an opportunity, unlike Nick who is scared of needles.
Missy went out to her uncle’s cabin this afternoon while Nick, Eric and I were goofing off in Jefferson City. Most people were still out in the woods so she didn’t get to see if anyone got a deer but she did take a couple of pictures.
The high yesterday was 84 degrees and the low tonight will be around 34. I guess summer has decided to jump to winter around here. It is just in time as Deer season starts on Saturday and for the first time ever Missouri MDC will be using an online Deer Check In system. I am glad I don’t work for their tech department this weekend, but it will be interesting to see how this goes over.
