Good stuff. Not a big fan of Christmas as much as I am a fan of giving people gifts. Call it lame but the reactions people get is one of the little things in life I live for.

Either way, I'm really excited to see what she got me. Apparently I fucked up by cancelling dinner on the girlfriend tonight (had to let the landlord in to fix the furnace) because she picked it up my final gift from the UPS center. Tomorrow!

While I will rep you for the whiskey, which you can enjoy for many years to come if you're careful, there is to me no excuse for spending $1200 on a single meal for two people. Next time tell the rich girlfriend to donate the $1200 to a food kitchen or something and just go get burgers at corner bistro.

And give me the $300 whiskey. :)

An oil change and a full brake job. Fucking Super Duty stuff. Unbelievable. On the upside I got to watch my wife open her things, and I did wake up to a bottom fridge shelf filled with ribbon-adorned Asahi Black.

Got it last week but forgot about the post. Ended up getting a CDG wallet -- 3-side zip with the coin compartment inside in black reptile and a NDG field scarf!
