Day one of my two days off in a row was fantastic. I started it off by finishing Chapter One of Manifesto of an Antihero while still in bed. Woke up with KGB and Twisty and enjoyed choco chip pannycakes. After playing all morning we got the boy down for a nap, got Kayla to keep an ear out for him and headed off with Twisty to finish Xmas shopping. The rest of the day was spent lounging about, setting up the new home theater system to go along with the new TV and new Blu Ray player. Watched Star Trek (which we thoroughly enjoyed) and then I ran out and got some crappy oven pizzas from Walgreens. I was craving them and even though I know we do not need them we were both pretty good and ate just a lil bit. I really need to start concentrating on my weight, but that won’t be until the new year. I just can’t be good during the holidays (I mean seriously, how am I expected to lose weight when I am married to such an incredible baker? Damn her…)
So yeah, we then ended the day with the second to last episode of Dexter (Oh my god, I don’t want it to end ever). Pretty good day.
As far as the book goes, I really have to get my writing legs back under me. I am pleased with the first chapter but I am sure it will get some severe touch ups once I get rolling again. Hell, the first four chapters of Memoirs got a total face lift once I finished the whole thing. But for now, it is a great jumping off point. It is a whole different beast from the original. Lots of action and funny dialogue right off the bat. I really missed the characters and love being back in their world again.
Well, not much else to report here. Vacation in less than two weeks, so I am jazzed. We might be broke, but I am really getting the Xmas spirit pumping through me.
