Have a solid 12 hours of shitshow to deal with today, drink, repeat for 3 days.
Crazy week ahead. 
I started off on the right foot with not joining a 7AM meeting. Meh.
Any ideas for gifts for a wife?

Gonna be a shitty week in the office.
Only Christmas shopping I've done so far is for the kids. Need both time and ideas to get something for the wife and parents.

'Morning. My alarm went off at 5:15 and I groaned in sadness, then I rolled out of bed and into the pool for my 2500 yard swim. At work now and need to caffeinate like a mofo.
Crazy week ahead.

I don't think it's going to work.
I'm in the same boat though. I think jewelry is easiest...
see post above, kill two birds with one stone.

38 F out and gusting to 25 MPH from the south. I'll eventually propel my ass out there but...
I have to prepare mac and cheese for the solstice hoo-hah tonight. And rum, I think...

Ugh Monday.
I really hate coming in to work and within 5 minutes of sitting down, people are calling in a panic. CALM DOWN! Every problem has a solution. Well, almost every one...
Looks like rain for most of the day here. Might go riding tonight anyways.
I am STOKED for how warm it will be later this week. Definitely prepping for some good riding, even if it will be a sloppy mess.

Got everything sent out last week. Wifey and I agreed to do no gifts. Kind of a money waste and we've just had some pretty expensive car and house repairs lately.
I feel like I always report the same things. It snowed so I skied. Two days of super aerobic skate skiing leaves me tired. There is just snow, snow and more snow for the mountains. The base is 96" already and they have received 168.5" since Oct 1. I LOVE THIS!!!!! Planning some back country for this coming weekend. Carry on.
Having coffee in the Furnace Creek Campground in Death Valley. Howling coyotes swept through at 3am. life is very relaxing in the desert
Howdy all. Final walk through today—we shall see if the builder fixed things last minute as promised or if I'll have a long post-closing list of promised fixes. Meanwhile I'm still waiting on the bank and title company to give me the actual figure to bring to closing.
House buying is a strange, opaque process. Why must it be this way?

We generally don't do xmas for each other anyways. However in the last month we had some heating and fridge repairs ($800), Wifey's engagement ring had a prong break ($800), holiday party ($300 - all Wifey) and our general xmas shopping ($500). Also, we need to make sure that we have on hand cash for our 2015 IRA contributions to be done early next year. All of that on top of the car is a lot. I'm totally content not getting a damn thing as is Wifey.
On a side note, Wifey wants me to stop doing tri's because the running is hard on my back. I'll need to find something else to do. Maybe race enduro?
Maybe she won't understand exactly what it is...
Current view:
we do small gifts for each other and set a modest budget ($50). past years we've gotten ourselves bigger ticket items (one year was a DSLR, last year was a new TV). this year we got a kid.
Say goodbye to those big tickets.
That seems like a nice gift. Everyone coming along? All-day ski lessons for the kid to get her off your hands?
No. Abe (remember him?) is getting married and it's his bachelor party.That seems like a nice gift. Everyone coming along? All-day ski lessons for the kid to get her off your hands?
Lawyers with Magnets....
In a jewlrey store, waiting in line while trophy wife with botox lips chooses a new watch strap for the watch she lost.... I hate the holidays.
On a side note, the bus I jumped on broke her side view mirror. The driver stopped without letting the bus know. She let a couple of other buses go by. So I wound up taking uber for the first time. It's pretty easy/cheap/convenient. I like it. Fvck the bus!

Then it would be difficult for real estate agents to justify their pointless existence.
This is why I am skipping them and going riding/hiking instead.
I am also with you on the bus aspect. Having lived on the bus from my teens up until I was 24ish, I never want to do that hell again. Never mind the people you have to be in close contact with on it, waiting around, missed connections etc etc, they are freaking expensive in Toronto! And to get downtown, you have to pay for one transit service, then transfer to TTC in Toronto and pay all over again. And the closer you get to Toronto, the smellier the people become. /rant
