Kindergarten Christmas Play 2013


Photo-A-Day #3176

Today was Eva’s Kindergarten Christmas Play. She was the angel and had two lines in the play. She did an excellent job in her role. Watching her up there confidently delivering her lines and smiling as she sang Christmas songs made me so proud to be her Dad. She practiced her lines every chance she got and she had them down cold.We were joined at the play by Grandfather and Mem, Auntie Tara and Shelby (cousin Dylan), Uncle Mike and my Grandparents.

After the play we visited a bit at my parent’s house. Andrew had a fun time, as usual. He received a set of mini books from his Great-Grandparents. He had fun lining them up and telling me what animals were on the covers. Continue reading Kindergarten Christmas Play 2013 →

Being a huge Transformers nerd I am sort of ashamed that I didn’t know this sooner. I learned that Guitar Hero World Tour has Stan Bush’s 1986 Transformers Movie Anthem The Touch as a free downloadable song. So that and talking to my friend Russ last night about what he enjoys on my blog inspired me to take another Transformers Shot.

For the past 3 years Allison and I have been getting our Christmas Tree from the Boy Scouts of Troop 23. A quick trip over and we picked out a nice six footer. The boys there do a very nice job and the trees are always decent ones. We’ve had some really good luck over the years. This one is another fantastic one.

This is an ornament that Eva got from our Aunt Candy. We’re excited to set up Eva’s tree and nativity scene this weekend. This ornament will be going on her tree. She got a tiny artificial tree when she was born along with a few ornaments and a string of lights. This year I think she’s going to really enjoy decorating it as well as putting up the nativity set.

No, I haven’t gone crazy spending some stimulus package. Am I the only one sick of seeing those scam ads on Facebook? No, I watched OfficeDepot as the price fell on the Wacom Bamboo Tablet and the 4 port USB hub. The Samsung camera was a giveaway from a generous sponsor at IZEAFest 2008. And generous Swag is reason #9 for going to IZEAFest 2009. The 1 TB FreeAgent XTreme external hard drive from Seagate. I won that from a contest on The Dirty Shirt. Today I finally put these items to use.

I hooked up the hard drive and set it to backup the video and photo folders of our other external hard drive. I also made sure that that particular drive was up to date with my travel external hard drive. And if that is not anal enough I have another external hard drive of just Eva photos. The 1 TB FreeAgent XTreme will go into our fireproof lockbox. I will also find another safe place for the Eva hard drive and do my backups once each month. So now I have to set up a reminder message to myself for once a month backups.

Speaking of getting things done, today I finally picked up my glasses, the ones that were $200 more than the Zenni Optical ones that I am wearing right now. The company called me wondering why I hadn’t picked up the glasses in 4 months. Oops.

So I grabbed them, then stopped over at my Gym to cancel my membership. Gyms are such scams. I know that I paid 1st and last months fees but they said I have to bring my original paperwork back to confirm that. Really, they didn’t have that on file somewhere? I find that hard to beleive so tomorrow I bring them my paperwork.

Oh and I also got my car inspected. My plan to have it inspected at least one day into the new month after the last one expired is working. I figure if I do it for 12 months I get one year free. That is probably not what is happening but I like to think it is.

And I love On Demand by Comcast because they had Wolverine and the X-Men was on Nickelodeon for free. I also found Marvel on Twitter. I love that they are using Twitter. I’m going to find some of the other media sources that I love as well. Hey great, news IDW publishing is on twitter too! They are the people who do the Angel, Transformers and G.I. Joe comic books.
