The final Vikings game was yesterday. And how disappointing it was to go out like that.

For anyone who didn't watch the game, the Vikes made a pretty impressive come back to force the game into overtime, but we just couldn't get it done.

Anyway, tonight I'm going to the Hub with Christa. It's a pretty cool place. There's 6 places in one building you can go, and they all have their own atmosphere. I'll be meeting some of my friends there.

Then tomorrow, I get to watch Isabel all day. Just her and I. I'm still not sure what we're going to do. Maybe I'll take her ice skating again.

I hope you all have a fun and safe New Years celebration.

Well, I got more sleep than the night before.

I locked the new cat in the bathroom with her own food, water and litter box. Leo has come out of hiding as a result.

I think I might go sledding tomorrow. Christa, Isabel and myself are all going. I called a friend of mine to see if him and his kids would like to go. Should be a fun time.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

My room mate brought home a new cat yesterday.

She's been nothing but a bitch to my cat. She won't let him eat, use the litter box or really go anywhere in the apartment.

I had to break up a fight this morning at about 5:00am. The new cat (Katie) had my cat (Leo) pinned behind the couch. He's hasn't come out from behind there since the fight.

How was every one's Christmas?

Did you all get everything you wanted?

I had a busy holiday. I drove with the girlfriend to her family's Christmas eve dinner. That wasn't too bad. I was a little nervous, but I had met most of the relatives before.

Then yesterday I drove to my uncle's house and had my family Christmas. Where I got my prized gift. I got a very nice Adrian Peterson jersey. Kingy did a very good job on that one. Thanks Mike!

I hope you all have a good holiday, and have a great day.

Christmas eve and I'm stuck at work.

I really hope I get to go home early. But It doesn't look like it.

We'll see though.

Have a great holiday.

Christmas weekend is almost here!

I hope today goes by super fast.

My friend Ben will be in town tonight. He's lived in NC for the last few years so I haven't seen him in a long time.

What are you all doing for Christmas?

Christmas is almost here. I for one can't wait till it's over. Just the craziness trying to get the right gifts for people.

I'm almost done, I just need to get my girlfriend's mom a gift, and then a "boy" gift for their family gift exchange.

I have no idea what to get her mom, she told me to ask kingy what she would like.

We'll see if that works.

Back at work today.

I feel much better, but people here don't seem to believe me. I think it's because of my horrifically phlegmy cough. But I cover my mouth, and make sure no one is around me.

You would think I have a ton of work to catch up on, but no. Just a few jobs that will take me till lunch.

Have a good day.

ok, this is bull shit.

I'm going with another guy here at work to Wadena, New York Mills, and then Lake Park. Nothing wrong with that.

But he is refusing to let me drive, and wants to take a company vehicle. That's all good, but I told him I wanted to put the miles on my expense report.

His only reply to that... "So" With a smug look on his face.

I'm not going to say shit to him. I'm going to put on my headphones and watch Seinfeld or Scrubs or something.

Again, there is nothing for me to do here at work.

I'm starting to get a little worried. Like if there's really nothing for me to do, does that mean there's no room for me?

And they just hired two new people also. It doesn't make sense to me. When we're super busy, they don't have enough staff. When we're super slow, we hire more people.

Sounds like a great way to run a business.

Hooray!!! It's Friday.

These weeks have been flying by.

I figured since I'm staying inside all weekend, it might be a good chance to clean the apartment, and do some laundry. I'll get ambitious to do this at like 8:30 Sunday night. Hoepfully not.

Are any of you doing anything exciting this weekend?

Well, it's a little warmer out there.

I get to go to OK tire today. I'm creating an installer package for their remote locations that are not receiving the Trend info from the main office. Sounds like fun.

I'm planning on sitting inside all weekend and staying warm. It's supposed to be very cold.

More snow...

I'm not a big fan of the stuff. It's really not good for anything. Now I know people try and make arguments that you can ski, snowboard, snowmobile, etc... But those were all things created to cope with and make the best of this frigid weather.

But on the other hand, if I were to move somewhere without snow, I'd probably miss it a little.

"Great day to be purple"

This is the exact text message I got last night from a friend of mine who has season tickets to the the Vikings.

I'm really happy they played so well. Not just because I bleed purple, but because it was great to see my grandpa and uncle enjoy their first time seeing the Vikes in person
