Belated Holiday Greeting

Micah — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:32:24 +0000

Got a nice card from an old friend today, Lindsay. She apologized for being late with the cards but she has had a lot going on at her house, so she wrote a nice long letter and enclosed it with the card.

Her husband was on his way home from work a couple of weeks before Christmas and some woman with two little kids on the car ran a stop sign and broadsided him. He has been in the hospital in traction since the accident. To top it all off, the woman who hit him did not have insurance.Of course, his car was totalled. Thankfully he was driving a big Mercury or his injuries could have been a lot worse.

I feel really bad for Lindsay and her family. Just when you least expect it, something catastrophic like this happens and your whole world grinds to a halt. Of curse, she is lucky that no one was killed. But that is small comfort when your husband is lying in a hospital bed and not able to work for an unknown length of time.

Here Comes 2012

Not going out to party tonight but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to party! We are celebrating New Year’s Eve with a steak dinner, a glass of champagne at midnight, and watching the Times Square ball drop on TV. Welcome to 2012!

Maddening Crowds

What are the top crazy days for shopping at malls? Obviously, Black Friday is the crazy big one. But I suspect that the Saturday before Christmas is a big one, Christmas Eve is a big one, and evidently the two days immediately following Christmas are big ones, too. Now is when everyone is trying to exchange the gifts that they didn’t like or that didn’t fit. And some lucky folks received gift cards and cash as gifts, so they want to get out and take advantage of the sale prices.

Christmas Tidings

This year we don’t get a white Christmas, but it will be a merry one! I hope Santa finds your house and is good to you. Merry Christmas!

Matters of the Heart

Kinda sucks not having a girlfriend right now. On the bright side, I’m not going to have to spend a lot of money on roses or a fancy dinner tonight.

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Birthday Lindsay

My older sister is celebrating her birthday today. I bet she doesn’t say anything about it on her blog or make a big deal about it at work. But to me, every birthday is something special and I want her to have her own special day.

Happy Birthday, Lindsay!

May the road rise to meet you . . . and all that stuff. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Sweets for My Sweetheart

My wife is a big fan of gourmet chocolates. I had to hunt for a place to buy them for her this year. The store that I went to last year has gone out of business and closed. So I did a search on the internet and found another store across town. Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to getting my sweetheart her chocolates!

For You, Bro

Almost finished my Christmas shopping. Just have to find the perfect gift for my mother. Then I’m done for this year. Woot!
