Happy birthday to my mom, who received this sweet-assed laptop from her awesome family. Her birthday was actually in November but I forgot to hit publish and it saved this post as a draft. I know I know, bush league.
Yay! This year we decided that we were sick and tired if having turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. This year we figured we would have seafood. We picked up huge pieces of crab, shrimp, scallops and lobster. My mom made some fantastic traditional salads. It was a huge success and one of the nicest Christmas dinners I’ve had.
Mom and dad.
I haven’t seen my dad that excited about dinner in a long time.
OK, many of my friends are married and have children. Which is wonderful… for them. Seriously, I couldn’t be any happier. So please don’t take this the wrong way, I just thought I would share an amusing quote from one of my favourite websites, What Would Tyler Durden Do?
Why on earth do people have kids? By all outward appearances, they’re nothing but one endless terrifying drama after another, a constant drain on your wallet, your social life and your peace and quiet. Have a kid and your life just became 100 million times harder. You might as well have chopped off one of your feet. Are they cute? Not really, not to anyone but you, but if that’s all you want get a dog and then fold a pirate hat out of some newspaper. There. Ta-da.
I am constantly amused by this mans charming and insightful posts. Again, to all my friends, your children are beautiful wonders of creation.
That’s my dad’s new killing machine. His custom APA Viper compound bow. My dad designs and programs the machining process that creates these bows. I guess these things are the fastest bows on earth. Which is pretty cool. I told my dad he looks like he’s from the future. He seemed to like that.
