The End of the Year and Wall Calendars
That's it, we've reached the end of the year, and I'm usually the one who has to remember to flip the months after about four months have passed. Are we really gonna get another wall calendar? Sharing with you is fun for me too, or should we put it to y'all another way? Nobody remembers to flip the daily calendar, and that's got very unique pictures on it. Oh, except for Jedi, she remembers.
She does remember that other thing about flipping calendars, but I'm not sure what it is yet. It's probably just something else that nobody thinks of until it's too late. Well, we've reached the end of the year, and I'm usually the one who has to do this. Are you guys ready for another wall calendar? Because I think we are.
I'm standing here making a hot cocoa, or getting ready for it over there, Diana turns around and sneezes on me, and then turns back to cutting up potatoes. Which I suppose is okay. We'd rather have her not sneeze on the potatoes, right? Actually, technically speaking, you can cook with sugar. That's what we do in this marriage. We cook with sugar. And we also buy fruits and veggies at a discount. This bag of potatoes was a buck apiece. Why not?
Another thing I'd like to point out is that Diana killed General Grievous. Can yes, you did. You're the only one who uses the knife over here, and he had a puncture wound on him. Well, I didn't play with the knife, and I'm pretty sure Jedi didn't know I was using it either. But General Grievous certainly wasn't going to jump up and stab himself. Wow, you got some massive flare coming from you. Must be your aura.
But no, seriously. It's not because of your aura. The light source is off to the side, and see? Everything else is orange too. Except for that one thing over there, okay. I don't want to look through the viewfinder right now, so how about we just record Darth Vader and Chewbacca dancing for the next hour up here? Yeah, they're hot. What are you serious? The worst part was when Jedi got wet and cold with water. No biggie, though. Just an accident.
I built a drone last night, right there in this lamppost. Look at that! It's got a little remote control on it. I put it by the Holly to see if we could figure out what number we're looking for today. Oh, that would be 17! But is that 10? It looks like you believe it's 10, and it is correct. We win a coin! Whoa, don't you love these Star Wars coins? Don't you wish we had more?
Oh, wait, what's that? I need to find this one in the upper left corner of the page. You know, where the lower white finger would be if the numbers were in reverse order. But it's there! And that is a laser ball shooter! Ah, yes, whoa. I think you'd like that one too.
Now we have our snacks gathered for Santa Claus, which Diana wanted to watch on her own volition. Everyone gets fresh snacks, and Daddy gets stale popcorn. That's how we do it here. We get the good stuff for everyone else, but poor old Daddy has to make do with the stale stuff. It's all good, though.
We're ready to go out looking at Christmas lights now. This is a long way to drive just to look at some lights on houses, but you know we have to go to the best neighborhoods in Seattle. And yeah, this was worth it. We don't even have one house without Christmas lights yet, but that's okay. I hope these people don't mind us standing here taking pictures of their decorations.
But wait, what's that? It says on the sign over there, "House goals." Can you see anything? No, it's a dachshund driving Santa's sleigh! Whoa, if I move the camera up a little bit, we can watch what they're watching on TV. This is really nice. The rain on the window and the dinosaurs on the front lawn are kind of subtle, but I like that about them.
We got here without getting lost, which is great. I don't know how we'd get back home if we didn't have a map or GPS or something. But since we're driving west now, that's going to be easy. We'll just keep going until we see some houses and then turn around when we find the way out. It's days like this that make you realize you learn something new every day.
So should we tell them about the reindeer eating their bushes? Well, I'm not sure if it's true or not, but who cares? They're eating their bushes! Who are they again? Oh right, the reindeer on Santa Claus's team. Yeah, maybe we can ask Chet to come join us too. He's a Seahawks fan, so he'll fit in perfectly with our holiday display.
Finally, let's just sit down and watch what they're watching on TV. Maybe it's some special holiday show or something. It looks nice up here.
