12-14

yesterday was a bit of a kick. work was work an normal but the day went by surprisingly fast. I'm attributing it to the fact that our Santa called in sick and I got to play stand in. the Santa suit was itchy and hot. it was fun. the photographer got a couple shots so Ill be able to post pics as me playing Santa as soon as he emails them to me. I'm not saying I ever want to do it again but once was OK. being Santa for a few hours wile we weren't busy definitely helped the time fly. usually on a Saturday I take my lunch which is a half hour and 3 -4 breaks. I got 3 breaks and no lunch yesterday. I got home and was wiped out. ate way more food than I should have and then took a could minutes nap wile playing rock band. I don't know what it is about me and playing games but I tend to fall asleep easily. I used to get WoW narcosleepy all the time falling asleep in the middle of battles. its nice though knowing if I wasn't a good nap all I have o do is be around while someone is playing rock band. the music and rhythm just help me calm right down and pass out. a huge difference form when I try to sleep and struggle to get there. Jer usually stays up later than me so I'm used to falling asleep now to the sound of him killing people on his game. there is nothing like the sound of gunfire and explosions to put me under hehe.

on another note. its freaking cold outside!!! its going to be a fridged week. weather advisories are telling us to expect more now and winds. snow is fine wind is fine but the 2 together equal wind chill. wind chill is the devil. its the suck when you go outside and its 25 degrees like it is this morning but the wind chill makes it feel like its 11 degrees. I went out to go to the bathroom and just about froze. when I got back to the house I headed up to the loft to dig out the freezer jackets. freezer jackets rock. Jer acquired them when he was working for a frozen foods company in Texas. we have 2 and I love them. they are warm on the nastiest of days. I also found that the liner to one of the coats I got in Texas fist in the coat I just bought. its way more better than the light polar fleece thing that was in there. down jacket liner for the win!! the snow yesterday did let Sydny make a really cool snow man. she says she is going to go for a snow dog today. I don't know if she will make it though the snow that's on the ground right now is really dry and not the best for making snow men. maybe Ill feel later like helping her. its been a wile since I got down and played in the snow. Raiden is loving the snow. and the dry stuff we have now is great for him to roll in without getting soaked. our gofer is back, leaving mounds of dirt all over the yard. I cant imagine burrowing through frozen ground is any fun hehe.
