One of the fun things to do in the Christmas Shopping frenzy is to find Fun Stocking Stuffers.

It can be a little bit of a challenge depending on the person, but it is always fun to try and find small, inexpensive stocking stuffers. Of course, online shopping has made this a lot easier, but the real fun is shopping the old fashion way for these items.

Slim Fast FC3049 Ready to Drink-Creamy Milk Chocolate-11oz Cans 6pkThat’s my goal. I am gonna lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving Day. I started this week with a plan. Slim Fast for lunch, continue walking and eat less at night.

Now that the temperature has finally dropped a little and it is not 95 degrees at 7PM I think I can increase my distance to 3 miles from 2 miles.

Finally back to work today. I have been off since last Wednseday, and I was ready to come back to work. Vacation and Holidays always sound great, but, after a few days I am always ready to get back to my regular schedule. I know, I must be sick or something. I really enjoy my work and look forward to each day in the office. Oh yeah, I have those days where I am tired of it, but, for the most part I really like it.

The NFL season is over and my beloved Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs again. I guess I will watch the Rose Bowl and root for the Texas Longhorns and then patiently (yeah right) wait for the Nascar season to get started. Depending on the games I may even take in some of the NFL playoffs and SuperBowl.

Merry Christmas. Of course anyone who knows me, knows what a scrooge I appear to be. I would say it’s not really Christmas that gets me, it’s what we’ve turned it into. Christmas was and is a celebration of the birth of Christ. Hence the spelling of CHRISTmas.

I always think of Christmas as a time to reflect on what I have to be thankful for, not, how many presents are under a tree.

Happy Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite Holidays, although I am known as somewhat of a scrooge for most Holidays.

Thanksgiving is always a time of personal and family reflection, along with great food and football. This years trip to the in-laws will be a little hard for us. My father in-law passed away a month ago and this will be our first holiday without him.

I always look forward to the drive. In 18 years of marriage I have become spoiled on road trips. My wife likes to drive and let me just ride along playing on my laptop. Over the years I have done some of my best programming in a car.

Then upon arrival there is all this food and football. And being a Dallas Cowboys fan has a real benefit on Thanksgiving day as they are a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving day games.
