Well, I am almost done with my Christmas shopping. This will be the first time I have ever finished before Christmas Eve. (but don’t hold your breath, I still have two gifts to get.) I decided that Jonathan would really love to get a Winnie the Pooh coloring book in his stocking so last night I set out to find one. What a nightmare! First I went to ToysRus because, well duh, a toy store has got to have a good selection of coloring books. Believe it or not, they only had about 10 different books and none of them were Pooh books. So I figured, “Well, Barnes and Noble, a huge book store, has got to have them if ToysRus doesn’t.” Wrong again. They had an even smaller selection. So I headed home, a lost and bewildered Troy, a why oh why do these things happen to me Troy. And it took the bounce out of me. But them as we were driving past Wal-mart, I decided to give it one more try, and sure enough, there it was. One lone Pooh coloring book.

Yani is 4 months along now. We went to the doctor this morning to have an ultrasound. Yani has always wanted to have a girl. I always wanted to have a boy. Well, I guess we already have a boy. We actually ran into out doctor in the hallway. She thinks that Jonathan is the cutest little kid. (and of course he is) He just sat there with this totally serious look on his face. So we got into the waiting room and Jonathan got his first taste of Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham. He just liked it for the car and train I think. So, we got in to the ultraroom and got hooked up to the ultra machine and we realized that we were supposed to bring a video tape. Bummer, how are we supposed to explain that to her later in life? “Jonathan has one but you don’t.” I’ll let Yani tell her.

A few weeks ago, the company had an asset selloff sale where they getting rid of things that were just taking up storage space. One of my buddies here managed to get into the room about fifteen seconds before me and got hold of a really nice 19 inch monitor for $75.00. By the time I got into the room, everything was gone! Well, he had another monitor at home that wasn’t quite as nice so he brought it in to see if he could sell it on Ebay or something. Guess what I have been trying to find a good deal on for months… Um, no. Guess again…. A monitor. Duh. So after explaining the situation to the wife, (we like to keep each other informed on purchases) I got her blessing and I will be bringing my new monitor home today.
