I hope your Christmas was as lovely as mine, and filled with excellent pie, many games of Quiddler (guess who came in third? that's right, dear old "rhymes-with-fatty"), and the annual familial kvetching about Lieberman -- all of which, of course, no Christmas would be without. And thanks for the socks, my dear relatives. I hit a new record this year with a grand total of 26 pairs.
Other news? Not to brag, but I got both a PedEgg and Push-Up Pro. That, coupled with my birthday Bump-It, is pretty much proof that my family reads my blog. (Shout out to DICK KLEM!) Here's a picture of my PedEgg (in my hand, duh -- the things lying next to it are my Push-Up Pros, but there's a better picture of them coming):
And my Push-Up Pro (I still, by the way, have no idea what the purpose of the Push-Up Pro is; however, some of the younger members of my family have found that you can jam one foot in one of them, and then push off on the carpet and spin really quickly [in the spirit of blogging/science/inquiry/what have you, I thought I'd give it a whirl as well -- much better than doing push-ups, let me tell you]):
While that's not the most flattering picture of my forearms, I think you get the gist.
In conclusion, dear reader, I hope your day was lovely. Now get some rest, finish up that pie, and get a head-start on those thank-you notes.
