Blah, blah, bah...

If it's all the same, I have little to say tinight. I occasionally scan the horizon for something to rant on and come up with little. I try hard to not fight the unworthy and see where I can be of help rather take. I still strive to "want less, do more" even at this time of year. I know I am full of it so tonight, I will spare you. Hope there's an unexpected smile out there for you.

Couch Trip

I am still on hiatus from running with a broken toe and tonight just got home too late. It felt so good to drop onto the couch and just watch some TV (via Netflix). It's been a long go and I am just happy to do nothing tonight. Sometimes that is just what the doctor ordered.

By the way, watch this show. 

I Had Christmas Down in Africa

There is a great magic in the air this time of year. It has been documented by many, far more qualified than I, but it feels so good when the stress is not there. You get to just enjoy the Christmas lights and a good holiday song (currently The Twelve Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser). As with all life, when I keep it simple for me I enjoy it more.

Nutcracker

Just saw The Nutcracker for the first time with my wife and two close friends. I feel as though I have finally partaken in a festive holiday classic. It was great and a little reassuring that even as an adult you have things that make you go, "wow" at Christmas time! That's it for tonight.

Christmas Ambling

It was good to get out a do some Christmas shopping today. I enjoyed it but mostly I was master of my own destiny today. I had no one with me and no necessity to purchase today. I am enjoying that middle ground of being excited to shop for my family but interested in moderation and keeping everything reasonable. It felt good to be out and just take my time. That seems to have been in shortage out there lately, the ease I enjoyed. Why does the holiday season seem to force such a frenzy? Buy now and save or miss out! To hell with that. I say stroll. Find the farthest parking space and take numerous coffee breaks.

Happy Picture Friday

Seriously, she just does this. It's like Maggie is part Otter. 

Printed

I just got back from the print shop. The latest design has been finished and is ready for use at the party this weekend we are doing. My design was not too complex, but was also put together very quickly. It looks good. It is gratifying to see something I did on my computer produced. That still feels magical. To actually make something is kinda great.
