Started the de-Chrimsasification process this morning by taking the tree down. Wanted the space back more than anything.

Speaking of Christmas, I saw this article this morning. Apparently the cars with big bows on them are a real thing. :eek: Blame Lexus who started those commercials in 1999.

But it’s the bow that matters to the point that, some dealers say, no bow can mean no sale.

“The bow is a huge deal. That’s everything,” said Mr. Brunner of Park Place Lexus. “I wouldn’t say the car is secondary, but if you don’t have a bow — really?”

Had pizza and WBB with the nieces and nephew today add in one spouse and another long term BF (3yrs), plus the one who dropped out a few yrs ago came back this yr we had 9 total. Fun was had by all. The oldest one has made it 20 straight yrs. We still ran up and over the road instead of going thru the tunnel to Hilton, so if you saw a group of people doing that that were too old be doing that it was us probably. Switched back to CloneCones instead Coldstone this yr anniversary niece wanted Clonecones.

I feel pretty lucky that after all these yrs they still all put in the effort to make time for this. Today was a day way better than most.

I spent the afternoon sucking down a drug IV infusion for two hours. Was supposed to host a gamewatch tonight but wasn't feeling up to it. Couple of minutes ago I said **** this **** and popped a bottle of champagne. Have too many bottles lying around, time to cull the herd even if I don't feel that great. Early New Years! **** it!

You’re the reason we lost.

Didn't get to see the game, but the stomach bug is almost done in our home.
Z is eating again and full of energy. First time since Wednesday.
I'm holding down food now. Just crackers, but it's food. First since Thursday.
Now for revkah. She got the brunt last, but maybe by the end of tomorrow night.
Been there, almost done being there. Little appetite for me yet, 5 days later.

Just got home from my bowl trip. Obviously the game outcome wasn't what we all wanted but I got some quality time hanging out with my brother. We did some riverwalk, Alamo, and the Tower of the Americas that I had never heard about. Definitely more good than bad, and despite the cold weather glad to be home.

Not exactly sure.
Hit the road at 6:07 this morning. Hammered it home while the two boys were sick, one throwing up in a target bag, from the riverwalk chinese joint they ate supper at last night. Found out I can make the 1139 mile trek in under 16 hours and that includes fueling, stopping for meals (getting but not sitting down in the restaurant), rest room breaks and others. Drove it myself so I could get home quicker.

BTW, I have never seen a group of fans that want to fight as much as the WSU fans. It was getting crazy. One woman was trying to get this guy two rows in front of me to go out and fight. Was going to leave her 5 year old to watch the game while she fought this guy I guess.

Another old cowboy dude starting yelling at a guy a few seats down from me about something and was talking about taking care of him. He obviously was oblivious to what she was doing and yelling at our players, if he didn't chew her out also.

Another guy was getting in the face of other guys in our section because of something about wrestling. A few more numbnuts in the section but you get the idea. If I never deal with that fanbase again that will be quite fine with me.

Must be where @ImJustKCClone gets her aggression from. She tried to fight me at the game watch her and PapaLew came to.

Went to an 80s bar last night in San Antonio. They played literally the most clichéd Playlist of all time but it was a blast. Would recommend doing at least once
