I’ve just realized that it’s been about 2 1/2 months since either Stacy or I last posted here. I guess time really flies during the holiday season. I wish we had a good excuse 
for the absence other than laziness, but we don’t. I guess we just really haven’t had that much to write about lately. And we’ve been spending a good amount of time in the evening building LEGO creations in the basement. Ahh, the joys of being able to act like a kid. Here’s the run down on what we’ve been up to the past few months…
I went as Darth Vader for Halloween this year. I wore my costume to work and had a really good time with it. I had a sweet lightsaber and my costume looked pretty accurate. I wish Stacy had been there to play the part of Princess Leia. Anyway, I accidentally scared the daughter of one of my co-workers. Apparently the “Dark Lord of the Sith” is quite scary to a 2 year-old girl. Even after I took the mask off, she still wasn’t sure whether I was OK or not. Poor kid. Hopefully she’s not permanently traumatized. As usual we didn’t get an trick-or-treaters. *sigh*
Stacy got back from Europe the 2nd of November, which was awesome because I was almost out of Mac’N'Cheese and Bass. We has a bunch of people out for a bonfire in mid-November and that was a total blast. Those are the times I really love living out in the boonies. We spent the night burning through a bunch of surplus wood we had and listening to heavy metal at high volume. We even braved the rope swing after a few cocktails. Anyway, November flew by and before we knew it, Thanksgiving was knocking on the door. We spent it with my mom, dad, and sister playing Wii and having fun (Oh, I forgot to mention we bought a Wii somewhere between Halloween and Thanksgiving).
December started with shopping and lots of it. We like to shop early so we did quite a bit online starting on “Black Friday”. December was pretty quiet and we stayed in most weekends. A few holiday parties here and there, but not too much to note. We got quite a bit of snow, which was nice. It was good to have snow on the ground for Christmas. Stacy and I were off work starting the 21st of December since we had some left-over vacation to use. It was nice to have some time off to relax. We spent Christmas with her family and got back to home sweet home on the 26th. Then it was time to open our Christmas loot. It was a Star Wars, LEGO, video game Christmas this year and I think we spent the next week playing Rock Band, Wii, building LEGO sets, and watching movies. A perfect end to the year! New Years was uneventful. We watched the “Mythbusters” marathon while building some LEGO sets and were in bed by 12:30 am.
Now it’s January and all the pomp and circumstance of the holidays is over. It was back to work for both of us on Jan. 2nd…which was tough after almost two weeks off. We’ve slid back into the groove and our next big happening is probably a trip to “The Cities” in late-February. Until then, we’ll probably hang close to home on the weekends with the occasional trip to Rochester to go climbing and see Kev. See, you actually didn’t miss much the past few months. Maybe it wasn’t laziness that kept us from writing so much as it was lack of excitement. Oh well, we’re going to try for more regular posts this year. Stacy has some trips for work planned this year and I may go along on a couple…either for work or fun. Who knows where we’ll go or what we’ll see. This year holds some exciting things for us…I’m sure of it.
