Well this was suppose to be a special Christmas. April and I started
dating 2 months ago. I didn't say anything about her
here because she was too weirded out by it. I spent most of my free
time with April which is why my last few updates
have been small.
As Christmas got closer, April started acting different. I just
figured it was holiday stress. Maybe it was stress over the gift
she presented me on Christmas Eve, a broken heart.
I picked her up Wednesday night to go to my parents for a holiday
party. When I got to her apartment she opened the
door and said ,"I don't love you anymore". I was floored.
I asked her why and she said I shouldn't look to her for help and all
the blame was with myself. Then she slammed the door
in my face. I wanted to cry but I kept it together and asked her if I
could come in so we could talk. At first she never
answered, I got nervous thinking maybe she hurt herself or something.
Then I got over myself (Yeah a girl committing
suicide over me, please) and kept knocking. She finally let me in.
We talked for a couple hours. She is under the impression I cheated
on her with someone here at work. Granted we have
been working longer hours but I am not the cheating kind. Hell every
night we were together I thanked God there was a
women who would let me touch her. On a side note, I thought this was
a good line, she however did not find any humor in it.
We said our goodbyes and I left. I wanted to see her again after the
new year just for coffee or something, time heals
all wounds, but she is not game yet.
Looks like it will be another year alone as the ball falls. This
should work out for you my readers, I'll have more time to
work on material, love is over rated anyway.
By the way, for those of my friends that met April (not her real name
but you know who I am talking about) please let her
be for a while, she doesn't need the added pressure of my sisters and
friends calling her. If we're not together in a couple
months, I'll pass on her email to everyone.

How about that December Nor'easter?
It snowed from Friday night December 5 till Sunday afternoon the 7th.
Wow. Something like 2 feet where I live. I was
pretty much snowed in. I got to Nellos Friday night and then like all
the other maniacs went grocery shopping. Thank
God I only need a handful of things.
At work we had an upgrade planned for Sunday morning. Thank God
(again) that it was postponed. On Saturday I shoveled
out and cleaned off my car twice. Sunday morning, you never would
have known it.
I've seen enough snow, but something tells me, to quote the Captain and Tenneal, It's only just begun.

The December Nor'easter messed up my vacation a little. From December
8 - 12 I was on vacation. My only real plan was
to start and finish my Christmas shopping. I figured the malls would
not be too bad during the week, most people will be
at work right? Wrong.
Monday many area schools were closed, so many parents stayed home with the kids and took them shopping.
I did get a lot done Monday, gifts for my sister, a couple friends,
cousins and of course my girls at Nellos. After a few hours
at the mall, I was ready to leave. Way too many little ones running
wild and long long lines. Oh my. When we first got
there it was great. Pretty much in and out of the first two stores
and then the crowds arrived. Even leaving the traffic
seemed worse.
But then again, it is the holidays. Out on the roads you see some
pretty impatient people, more then usual in the month
of December. My rule of thumb, don't plan on any short trips, if you
do you'll just end up frustrated and pulling your hair
out. Those of you who know me and what I look like, know I can't
afford to do that.

I heard some good advice the other day. Being the gentleman that I am I wanted to pass it on to all of you.
You know how they always tell you not to go food shopping when you're
Hungry? You know when you are hungry you
always buy stuff that you don't need or is not good for you?
Well the same can be said when you go to the sex shop. Never go to
the sex shop when you are horny. You never know
what you'll end up bring home. It's always best to make a list and
stick to it.

I had a pretty good Christmas (If you don't count the April
incident). I hope you all had a good one as well. All the family
was around for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which is unusual. With
one sisters married and another engaged, they are
usually being pulled in different directions. It was nice to spend a
few hours together.
One of my gifts was an Emeril Lagasse sauce kit. Four different
sauces. Red Hot Sauce, Green Pepper Sauce, Roasted
Vegetable and Orange herb with poppy seed. Now I am not much of a
cook but I had to try these out. So I made Steak
Tips. That's right I cooked.
It's not that I can't cook, but being a single bachelor living alone,
why bother. I mean I can make a nice meal but as a reward
I also get to do the dishes. The Tips came out pretty good. I used
the Roasted Vegetable Sauce. As a side dish I made
Macaroni and Cheese. Bachelors love Macaroni and Cheese, especially
Easy mac.

In closing I just want to say again I hope everyone had a good
Christmas, better then mine anyway. By the way to April I
just want to say, you never existed, it was all a bit. Admit it folks
you felt a little sad for me.
