Out of nowhere we're supposed to get a pretty decent blizzard tomorrow.

wow.
We were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow last night but it wound up being all ice.
My new car has the worst defrosters and windshield wipers.

Christmas would be a lot more tolerable if it was like the Olympics, and only held every 4 years.

We bum hugged out of 99% giftgivings maybe a decade ago
which makes things much simpler this time of year
That 1% are usually handmade, weird or both.

the money either goes into a vacation or investments
we don't have little ones though
and it kinda feels like if you tried that with kids in the States
someone might call the cops

on a cereal note: i dont think so. a lot of our friends have shifted to vacas vs presents, especially those with basketball team sized families. seems to be a hit so far

we do the gift of no gifts for adults, and there are only a few holdouts to the chagrin of everyone else. the littlins still get some loot, tho were starting to gain some traction in the 529 investment as gifts instead. we were pretty successful in shifting towards books and instruments instead of mindless giggle gadgets, noise maker landfill fodder, or endless bluey themed nonesense

legos are always welcome tho hint hint nudge nudge

I spent a stupid amount on Chrimbus stuff this year. Didn't care because I voluntarily bumped myself on a Delta flight out of Chicago a couple weeks ago and got $900 on a Visa card and a first class ticket on the flight home. Totally worth it.

My daughter has a pixel 6a,which has some kind of battery issue that I found out Google was willing to fix, so I went through the crappy process of finding out what they have to offer and it was any 1 of these:
Free battery replacement
$100 cash payment
$450 cash payment (because it's under warranty)
$150 Google store credit

So I did the only smart one. A pixel 10 pro is $450 right now, so I'll get her a new phone. I could just replace the battery for $50. But I won't.

This is the second one I'm ordering because I fkn wrecked the first one trying to adjust it a half size smaller.
It was like, "Okay, let me just barely squeeze this in a tad OH MY GOD"
It looked like I cranked it down in a bench vise. It was too much of a piece of shit to get it back into shape without breaking it. I got it back to wearable, but it isn't great.

Last night my son was coughing so hard he lost a tooth lol. Went to go get cough medicine this morning and holy shit is it slippery. I guess it rained a bit and washed off all the salt and sand. It's like driving on snot.

Smart move. Eventually you'll either become a turtle OR shrivel up into a cork,
either way you're winning, king.

Today was the second day I've bought tickets for Avatar
and had it not work out. In this case, they closed the whole ass theater on account of snow.
Gonna try a third time for Tuesday. Gotta see them slender blueys.
