It's been a while.......

Since I've put anything up on my blog. I've been out of the office for a good long time and I didn't feel like getting online and blogging about whats been going on. So now that I'm back and it's pretty close to my lunch break, I thought I'd give an update.

I recently went on a trip to Hawaii to visit my father, that was fun and I got to eat real Chinese food for once. I have pics from my trip on previous posts so I won't bother reciting what I did. What was significant to me was the trip back. Never in my entire life have I ever wanted to get off a plane so bad. We hit major turbulance from Hawaii all the way to Texas. Thats around 3000 miles of just going up and down, up and down and watching everything on the plane shake. They even suspended food service for most of the flight because the pilot told the flight attendants to stay in their seats. It almost made me swear off of flying for a while but I have another trip to take in January but its only like 2000 miles to NY so that should be fine.

Christmas was pretty good this year. I went to South Florida to see my wife's family and to exchange gifts. I went to midnight mass as well although I didn't stay for the whole thing, just the important parts. I'm still slightly weirded out that people hold hands during the Our Father part of the Mass. I don't know if its because I'm from the Northeast or something but I have this thing about holding hands in Church, just don't do it with me!! Stay away!! LOL My gifts this year were super sweet and I got the best ones from my wife of course. She was kind and generous enough to get me an Xbox 360!! Whoohoo! I also have 4 games to keep me occupied. I'm actually almost done with one, started 2 more and have to finally start the 4th. I have Kameo: Elements of Power, Dead or Alive 4, Call of Duty 2, and Project Gotham Racing 3. I'll probably go into each of them in some other post of mine when I get bored.

After Christmas I headed home with my wife. I had the rest of the week off because my company was awesome and gave us from Dec 23-Jan 2 off from work. So what did I do with my time off? Play video games of course!! My hands hurt from playing so much but its been fun as hell too. I even got a new game for my GameCube that was given to me from my Secret Santa called Mario Power Strikers (its a soccer game) that my wife and I play a lot since we can play against the computer together.

New Years wasn't that eventful, basically stayed up till midnight at home and toasted the new year with some Champaigne.

I saw a couple of movies too during my break. I forget what the first one was but it was a flick that my wife chose since it was her turn. I chose to see King Kong and I have to say that it was pretty good. There were some parts that were just outright nasty but the movie certainly didn't feel like it was 3 hours long.

Now I'm back to the grinder toiling away like always. Here's to another year of fun in Floriduh! Good thing I'm going up north in 2 weeks, I get to have some Garden Catering maybe and if I can swing it, yet more Chinese food :)
