I’m trying to save my paid time off for Christmas.   So this week I’m making up 8 hours over the next 3 days so I can have a 4 day weekend.   It’s going to be rough, but I can do it!   I’m sure I’m not the only person doing this too.   

My wife and I are starting to put our “Holiday Shopping Game Plan” together.   Because my children read my blog, I can’t post the shopping list here.    We’re having a delima on what exactly we want to do.   We do have a pretty decent budget this year, but not 100% sure what to get the kids.   We have some good ideas, but can always use help.   If you have any ideas, send them my way.

Kevin and I did record a “Thanksgiving Special” episode that we’ll be posting on Wednesday.   We’ll start back up with Episode 12 the first week of December.  

 I have been craving pumpkin pie.   I missed out on it yesterday at a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws and was pretty disappointed.   So, to make up for it, last night  I went to the Hiawatha DQ specifically to get a pumpkin pie blizzard.   The drive there, I was even singing “Pumpkin pie… gonna have pumpkin pie!”.     I got to the DQ, placed my order and they guy at the other end of the “squawk box” said “I’m sorry we’re no longer serving those!!!”   I was crushed.   I choked up and didn’t quite know what to say.  Twice denied the pumpkin treat in the same day!    I pulled away, almost in tears…  I guess I have to wait till Thursday. :(  I suppose it was Karma’s way of saying “Dude, you really don’t need that, aren’t you trying to get healthy???”

That’s all I got for now- Canman
