Home Sweet Home

By jesser | Published: 8:57 am

I'm at home today instead of work. Originally, I was going to take off just one day (tomorrow) before the end of the year and carry two over, but I find myself with a bit of a cold and feeling a little out of control of life, so I've chosen to take off two and [...]

Christmas Wrap-Up

By jesser | Published: 8:43 am

Hope everyone had as nice a Christmas as we did! As you might imagine, the last couple of days leading up to the big event were pretty crazy, especially around shopping malls. Matt and I avoided them as much as possible and faired pretty well. As is tradition, we spent Christmas Eve with my parents, [...]

Sorta Dug Out

By jesser | Published: 8:55 am

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology (i.e. 4-wheel drive and snow plows), it's fairly smooth going out there, seeing as we had a blizzard two days ago. Impressive! This is excellent because I still have a bit of holiday shopping to do and things will be open today. This was Matt's first real blizzard. [...]

Baby, It's Cold Outside

By jesser | Published: 8:43 am

Of course you never know whether to brush off what the newscasters say as alarmist BS or not, but if they are to be believed, we're supposed to get 14 to 24 inches of snow in our area by tomorrow morning. I was wanting a white Christmas, but this is ridiculous. In case you're interested/bored, [...]

What fun! Santa has left giant toys around the globe and Google Earth has the clues to find them. You can check back every day until Christmas Eve and find a new giant toy and on the big night, you can use Google Earth to track Santa's progress. You better believe we'll have Google Earth [...]
