Mid-Week

Its Wednesday Evening.... Nebraska is playing againt Michigan in the Alamo Bowl.... Tomorrow is my last day at work this week... Friday-- Dad Scott and I are going to the Music City Bowl here in Nashville... I have gone to the last few Music City Bowls here in town... Just fun to get to see a college football bowl game. I have only been to one other College football game in the last few years besides the annual Music City Bowl... Vanderbilt vs Kentucky earlier this year...

Christmas Update

Greetings! Its been a little while since I have left any notes here. Its been crazy at work over the last 2 months. The 4th Quarter was really hectic and with my double-duties of running www.athlonsports.com/store as well... My time has been little if any. Xmas went over fairly well. I spent the early part of Xmas eve with Scott and Dad at Dads house watching NFL football. Scott buckled to the pressure and let me open gift early... It was an electronic Suduko game... Very addicting...Then I proceded over to Jeanette's parents home. We just kind of chilled out a little while then left for Herberts sister's house in Nashville. We had a big dinner and talked awhile/exchanged gifts etc. Ya know same ole same old... Then I went back to her parents house to crash that night. I forgot to mention that all day my back felt like I had a knife stuck into the back of it. I was getting worried that something was really wrong with it. I was having problems doing ANYTHING. (its better now)...

Due to the back I slept like a baby once I got down Xmas eve....We all got up about 730am or so and continued to open gifts we had all given each other. Jeanette's brother had packages all over the place for him to open... was quite amusing. I got a few things as well... but they were much needed items...including a new blanket... and some new pillows.... I really needed some pillows... I also got a Gift Card to Rafferty's (its right by work) and a Texas Hold-em handheld electronic game... I'm currently wearing it out...After we finished unwrapping we ate some breakfast... Im not quite sure what it was exactly... but had potatoes and sausage n cheese... Some sort of casserole... I didn't care cause it was delicious and I ate my fair portion of it. After eating I layed back down cause my back was hurting beyond belief... and slept about 3 hours before waking and realizing I was supossed to be over at dads by now... So i gatered myself together and headed over to his house.

Scott, Dad and I opened up all the gifts under the Xmas tree and then watched a movie. Speaking of movies thats what I got from my Dad.... The West Wing/SouthPark/Fraggle Rock... lots of DVDs. Scott popped in Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase... gosh we laughed our tails off quoting the movie... including "driving a dump truck through a nitroglycerin plant".... Please dont ask... haha... Then we ate hamburgers and fries and moved back to the sofa to watch DA Bears play da packers... Of course my Bears won and clinched a playoff spot... so that was a sweet Xmas present for me as well... Finally I took off towards home and called it a day... a long day.... With my back still killing me... I crashed on the sofa and tried to relax... and finally the back pain eased and I fell asleep. Was a really nice 2 days... it was tough without Jeanette, but we made it through and on to live another day and another year. ~~~Jeff~~~
