busy busy

happy tuesday. i am so tired today. picked up the wife from the airport last night, had dinner while watching the OU/TU (basketball) game, and had a few cocktails. thought it would be a good idea to pop in a movie when we got home, and i was up until almost 2am. that is too late on a school night. anyway, i didn't get a chance to update anything yesterday afternoon. things will hopefully slow down in a month or two, but right now is the busiest part of the year for me. ugh. so christmas was good. it generally is for me, though. i am blessed to have a really great family, i don't have to travel at all, and i get a few days off of work. one of my favorite things about christmas is that everyone comes back home. i get to see friends i haven't seen in ages like Austin. (yes, his head is really that big. he is 6'6 and about 240lbs.) he is from here, but went off to law school at emery after college and now lives in houston, tx. he is generally in town for all major holidays, so we always make it a point to see each other. his voice is loud and he's really smart and i just love him to pieces. the wife and he do NOT like each other, so when we meet up she is not around. Podie really likes him though. and i love that picture of us. i love it when clocks are in the background. what's great about that one, is that you don't see what happens in an hour. she was so intoxicated i had to take her home at 11, get her into her pj's, take out her contacts, get her in bed, and then i headed back up to the bar to get back to QT with austin. good times. anyway, monday night i got to meet some of the people in the blog ring. we had dinner together, and it was really great to actually meet them in person! here is a group shot. here is one of ninsi and i. yes, we now both have red hair, and yes... we are just that cute. here is one i took of sleepwalker and her beau. see, she really is sleepwalking. lol. so, those are the highlights. i know there's more, but i must get back to work.
