Christmas Wrap Up
Well here we are, December 26th. I managed to make it through all the christmas music, wrapping paper and food. Oh man was there some good food! I have officially gained 4.5 pounds in the last three days but it was worth it.
For those that don't know, Bean has a rather large family. At least on his mom's side that is. Go here for more info, but she's one of 8 kids. Most of whom had at least two kids of their own who are now grown and have families of their own, so there's a lot of people that get together for the annual christmas eve get together. This year, I started to feel bad because while I know most names, there are still some that I get confused or just can't remember and I've been hanging around this family for two solid years now. I was feeling bad until I ran into a couple of other spouses who have been around the family much longer and they said they still have the same problem. Talk about a load off! One of them even said they've just given up on trying because we just don't see these people but once or twice a year. Good point. I'm not to the point that I'm going to just give up, but I do feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who doesn't know everybody.
What did I get you ask? Well since you asked, I got a couple of those candle warmer thingys, lots of candles, some clothes, some bar stuff and a dyson vacuum; this one, to be exact. In hindsite, asking for and getting excited about this gift makes me feel old. I can't believe that I actually wanted a vacuum for christmas. Geeze. Don't get me wrong, it's a good one for sure and I'm happy Ben bought it (even though that sorta went over the $50 self-imposed limit for each other) and you won't be seeing cat hair on our floors anymore. It just doesn't leave room for that "Aww, I can't believe he got you that" reaction. It would be more like, "Uhh, did you ask for that?". I'd like to also mention that our friend Steve went with him and allegedly said, "For this much money, I know something else that better never loose suction!"...good one Steve.
So now we're on to New Year's Eve. We currently have some options, but nothing nailed down yet. Anyone got anything going on?

Nothing says "get in the living room and clean up my mess, bitch" like a vacuum for Christmas.

True as that may be, your first car doesn't clean my carpets as well. You can borrow it sometime if you want to see for yourself.
