Today was another day of shopping. I did the grocery shopping and my wife did more holiday shopping. I got some Borderlands time in and I finished working on our 2 computers. I added a Linux OS to our old PC so it can be faster (the Linux uses less resources than Windows Vista) and I updated the PC gaming computer that I had not been using much. It now has a full Norton security program installed free from our internet provider. Life is good!
So we went for a jog today. It was rough. I was feeling like I am getting sick. I had a headache and a slight sore throat, but I needed to get out there. We covered some new teritory and it was hilly! way to hilly. But we did it. Then all hell broke loose and we went Christmas shopping at Target, Barnes and Noble, and tree shopping at Home Depot and a dollar store. WOW, I was worn out. We did get some Middle Eastern for a late lunch so that made things better.

Finally back to 2 a days! I need it to get back into the groove. Work was good and so was Borderlands 2! WooHoo! I made a kick ass dinner since Mark and Linda are staying with us. I cooked some chicken thighs, asparagus and couscous. Dinner rocked!
Daisy is really becoming a better cat. She is my borderlands buddy and likes hanging out on the back of my chair while I venture through Pandora.
She even stayed as I worked on my blog. Miriam took a second picture of us So I will post it even though it is almost identical to the first one.
We went for a 2 hour hike today!
It was cold out but we bundled up. It was great to out together. We missed each other a lot over the few days we were apart. We did good on the hike with covering a section of the trail we were never on before. We also spent some time watching a canoe go up and down the river. Folks might have thought we were crazy to be out hiking (there were a few other families out doing the same, some with there dogs) and we thought being in a canoe on the cold water was crazy! Funny how that works.
This guy was really moving!
We hiked down along a small water falls area.
Not far from the falls we spotter the largest vein of quartz we have ever seen!
The vein extended up into the cliff side.
This is what it looked like before we headed out for the hike, my sweetie and kitty keeping each other warm.
This next picture is an inside joke of sorts and a video game reference. you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
This car had personalized license plates with the bumper stickers above it for folks to know exactly what the plate meant! This rocked and made my day seeing it!
Travel day!
Nothing happened today other than some travel. Traffic flowed pretty good until I got near home that took an alternate route. I relaxed with my wife on the couch and then played some Borderlands 2 online. Life is good!
