Strick's Ramblings

I have been neglecting both my website and my blog lately.  Between things going on at work and home, plus I'm back to taking classes now, it's been a bit hecktic here at the house. 

Let's see... looking back, haven't written anything in here since right before Thanksgiving.  I thought since it was winter time, I would have more time to work on these things.  We had a nice Thanksgiving.  Food was exellent and of course, it seems that I possibly have gained a pound or two.  

Now that December is here, Christmas is around the corner, we're almost done with our Christmas shopping.  Why do kids as for such expensive presents?  Geeze... I don't remember getting anything like that when I was a kid.  When I was 10, I was happy to get toy cars and tractors and such, now it's Electronic Games, IPODs and the like.  Games are $30 to $50 dollars a pop, IPODs are $200, Nintendo DS' are $130... chick-ching!!!  I'm keeping a tally so the kids will pay me back !!!

Enough for now!  It's getting late, and I need to get ready for bed.  The shower is calling me.
