Ho Ho Ho – Santa was Here!

Josh — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 13:24:08 +0000

Did Santa find your house? He came here and left a big pile of Christmas presents under my tree! Wow – can’t wait to have a nice breakfast and then commence to tearing open all those presents!

Bachelor Party

Josh — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:06:03 +0000

One of my buddies from college is finally getting married. For some reason, his fiance wants to get married on Christmas Eve. I think that is a strange day to expect everyone to attend a wedding. In my family we all have so much to do on Christmas Eve that we would just decline the wedding invitation or fuss at the bridge and demand she change the date.

But we are not related and its not my problem. I can go to the wedding because I had enough notice to be able to plan ahead for it.

Our friend, Wesley, wants to throw a bachelor party for him next Friday night. Again, with Christmas right around the corner, getting people together for a bachelor party has been tough. a lot of people have company Christmas parties they have to attend, or shopping they need to finish. But we are determined to send Brad off to his wedded bliss in style.

Turkey, Parades and Football

Josh — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:50:57 +0000

Its nice to have a day off from work. Thankfully, I am getting paid for the day, which I get to spend watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and then football.

Then I will feast on a turkey breast, with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a green bean casserole topped with french fried onions.

My dessert choice is pecan pie. I am going to pass on the pumpkin pie this time and push that back to Christmas dinner, instead.

They Call Me the Joker

Josh — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 18:29:10 +0000

Sometimes I think this is my favorite holiday of the year. It’s a weird holiday though – no one gets to take the day off from work. Not even comedians.

Come on, 2011!

Josh — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 16:25:18 +0000

Hope that 2011 is good to us all. It will surely be better than 2010 – glad to see that year pack its bags and go down the long lonely road.

Happy New Year to all!

Thank you, Santa

We were all very worried that Santa would not find our house last night – or perhaps just skip right over our house and go to our do-gooder neighbor’s house. But, thankfully, he did come for a short visit and left us some awesome gifts. Thank you, Santa.

Cat versus Xmas Tree

Josh — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 20:20:13 +0000

It was a short battle. I believe the cat won this round. Stay tuned for more developments between now and Christmas morning.

Summer Vacations

Josh — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:31:29 +0000

I just found out from a friend of mine that he and his wife are headed to the Bahamas for a four day weekend. How great for them that is. I couldn’t help but feel a little envious. I know that’s bad but I tried to contol it. I think I’m doing a little too much of working and not quite enough of living. I feel myself becoming envious of others that are going on vacation and losing their jobs. How funny is that to envy someone who just lost their job?? I think it’s time to take my wife to her favorite vacation destination. You guessed it Las Vegas! Time to stop writing and start packing.

Mothers Day

Josh — Sun, 10 May 2009 13:19:56 +0000

I guess everyone has a mother or mother figure, and some of us lucky ones have more than one. I have a mother in law and a step mother.And I cannot neglect the mother of my children.

So I’m on the hook for four Mother’s Day gifts. I don’t mind at all. In fact, I get a kick out of buying gifts for my mothers and doing a little somethng nice for them on their special day.

The start of May

Josh — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:24:24 +0000

Okay I understand that it is the beginning of May which usually reminds us of the beginning of Summer. Not to mention the end of the school year. So why is it so cold out still! I am still wearing my heavy winter coat to work. I know exactly what you are thinking- global warming. Well it seems a little weird to me to have the temperatures in the 40′s during May and in the 70′s during November. Does global warming mean pretty soon we are going to be celebrating Christmas in our bathing suits on our decks and patios?? Does it mean we will never again see a white Christmas? This global warming stuff is a little too strange for me. That’s all I have to say have a nice day and stay warm if you can.

Relaxing

Josh — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:49:46 +0000

I have been taking sometime off these past couple of weeks to rest. I haven’t planned any activiites and I have even taken some time off of work to just have a few days of R & R. I didn’t realize how badly my body needed it. There have been 2 days where I ended up sleeping until 1:00 PM. Then there have also been days where I worked out and worked on the computer and just caught up on a lot of things that I had been setting aside. I am feeling so much better and I’m ready to get back to work. It’s a good thing too because I don’t think I have another day off for eight more days!

Chocolate

Josh — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:37:56 +0000

Okay I know I’m a guy and all but I have to admit that I love chocolate just as much if not more than my wife. With Easter coming up I have seen numerous ads and websites for chocolate. My favorite one by far is Chocolate Bunnies. Once I got on this site I couldn’t get off. I ended up buying chocolate bunnies for my nieces, a couple of caramel apples for my wife, and a tub of milk chocolate covered pretzels for me. I can’t believe I didn’t know this site existed until now. Take a look for yourself at all the great gifts and easter presents gertrude chocolates have to offer.

It’s Finally Friday

Josh — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:22:32 +0000

Today is the last day of the work week and payday. The other thing it is is almost the end of the month of February. I am so glad that March is almost here. March is my favorite month since Spring is right around the corner. Not only that though but March is my wife’s birthday and our anniversary as well. I have always loved March but now with these two occassions as well I really I really love it.

I have a couple of ideas for her birthday but I’m not sure if I can pull them off this year. I want to take her on vacation to a place she has never seen. She loves to travel and hasn’t had the opportunity to do so in a long time. Once I get my stimulus check I’m going to use it on her. Whether it be buying her a plane ticket or buying her a day to the spa. Whatever the case may be she deserves it.

Air Hockey

Josh — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:31:19 +0000

Air hockey has become a popular game across the country. Take a look for yourself at this website Air Hockey Table. Maybe even sign up to become a http://www.airhockey.com/node/26 that is going to happen in Texas. Who would have thought a game we all use to play as kids is now a popular past time.

Where to Meet Black Singles??

Josh — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:49:04 +0000

Is dating getting harder and harder these days or is it just me? I have a buddy or two who can’t seem to find a date no matter where they go or what they do. Fortunately enough for them they were turned on to the fact that you can meet some great people online. There first search brought them to www.blackchatcity.com. The reason why they both love this site is because you talk and get to know the person first. It’s been great for both of them and they have both met beautiful black women. Take a look for yourself at Black Chat Room.
