The Nutcracker, Bad Sweaters and Bad Boys
Friday my parents took me and Liv to see the Nutcracker Ballet. It was ok but it definitely was designed for kids. The annoying thing was there were these 4 15-17 year old girls sitting in the row behind us who acted like 4 year olds. Actually, there were a couple of small kids in the row in front of us and they acted 10 times more mature than these young ladies. They talked, giggled and kicked the back of our chairs the whole performance. I love it when white trash get dolled up to go out to the Ballet's equivalent to "It's A Wonderful Life." I can say that because, I am white trash too! LOL. Best thing was, during some of their conversation, one of them asked, "where is this from" to which one of the others quickly responded, "I think it's French." Because we all know, anything fancy is French....right?
Saturday night we had our Bad Christmas Sweater Christmas Party. It was great. Liv and I found some really bad print sweaters at the savers thrift store and it was hilarious. Liv also got some Santa earrings and a broach. We both wore big Santa hats. We all ate dinner, kicked back and had fun. Josh was kind enough to share a couple of cigars with me and Anthony so we went outside and had a stoggie.
Last night Liv's work (Blondies) had their office Christmas party. It was a "girls night out" kinda thing so no spouses were allowed. So Scott and I hung out at his house and watched the Broncos game, Along Came Polly and Bad Boys. It was a cool night. Scott is cooped up in the house because he had surgery on his foot on Thursday. He seemed to be recovering nicely though so that was good to see. I had never seen Bad Boys so that was fun.

The Way We Were....
Very sorry. That last hand... nearly killed me.
Last night Liv and I went out to dinner (Red Robin) and then saw the new James Bond flick. Ordinarily I go to James Bond movies for the comedy more than anything...but this one kicks butt!!
It's cool because they actually take the story and the character seriously. Normally Bond just sleeps with every woman in the movie and spouts silly one liners. This Bond has depth and, unlike any Bond for a long time (maybe ever), feels real. He bleeds, he makes mistakes, he falls in love..... You really get wrapped up in him and a huge part of that is the gravity that is brought to the part by Daniel Craig. He was the perfect choice for this movie.
Hold'em poker plays a big part of the story line and climax which put me in the mood for another card game. Need to get the guys together again and play.
It's was so fun to go on a date with my wife. Since we haven't seen each other much over the last couple of days, it's great to be together all evening. Once I get out of work today I've got all weekend to be with her.....I can't wait.

Moving My Friends...
Spent last night moving my friends Anthony and Megan to their new apartment. It's cool. Their old house was all the way down in the Springs and now they are going to only be 10 minutes away so it will be a lot easier to hang out.
The down side was we got a late start and they lived on the third story, at the end of the hall, the farthest you could possibly be from the elevator. But at least they had an elevator, right?
I haven't been seeing my wife enough lately. She has been working late the last couple of days and while this means more hours and more money, I only get to see her an hour and a half at night. It's just a temporary thing so it's no big deal, but I still miss her when I don't see her. Today she gets off at four so we get to hang out all night, it's going to be great.
