DrWhizBang's Journal: 3 more sleeps...

Ah, it will be nice for Christmas to get here. For one, I will be on vacation until the 5th of January, so I will get a much needed rest. But as well, we will have the chance to spend time with family and friends. I am looking forward to that.

We are planning a party for the home group. I mentioned it to people yesterday after church, and they seem to be up for it. Yay, they still love us...

I hope I don't waste the time. I need to spend time with our kids, and also to play guitar a little. I never play my guitar anymore.

I keep hoping that my kids will develop enough patience that we can play music together, but it hasn't happened yet. I am sure that Julian could keep a more complex beat on the drums, but he doesn't seem to want to try. Elias I think would try, but I'm not sure he has the coordination. They can both do a simple rock beat (without the kick), but I'd lke to get them to learn some other beats. If they did learn a beat, I would write a song around it, but I'm not really up to writing a sog around a plain rock beat right now.

Don't Buy Anything Before Christmas!!!
I was out on Saturday running errand, buying a part for the car, and I decided I would stop at Cox and see how much a new remote for our car started would cost. When we bought our car, it came with a car starter, but only one remote, which Gina grabbed immediately (God love her...).

The remote was only $30, so I figured I would just snag it there. They programmed it on the spot, and I was very happy until I went to pick up Gina and the kids at the Y. As we left the building, I showed her what I had bought myself...

You idiot...

It seems that she had already bought me a remote for Christmas. *groan* And the worst part is, I couldn't stop laughing. Eventually she gave up and laughed too. We took back the one that I bought, and now I won't have it until Christmas day.
