It’s Real
So, a doctor that the spouse works with is one of those ridiculously generous and kind human beings that is always gifting people because that’s just who she is. This Christmas, she gave us an Amazon gift card that had, like, a decent amount on it.
So, we ordered something. A thing we have coveted ever since we saw one at a hotel breakfast bar years ago. And they now make a consumer model.
Here it is:

That’s right, it’s one of those flippy waffle makers that makes your waffle in less than 3 minutes.

But wait, there’s more! You see, this one doesn’t just make one waffle like those lame ones at hotels. Oh no!
It. Makes. TWO!

That’s right! It’s two-sided! So you can make 2 waffles at the same time!
And now we own one! And we can make YOU waffles when you come out to visit us at Helm’s Deep!
Now, if they’d only make one of those automated pancake conveyor belts for the home my life will be complete.
This is exactly how I play games like this. I’m still somewhere in the middle of Chapter 3 in Red Dead Redemption 2, but have logged tons of late-night hours in it, riding around and exploring, checking out every homestead and building I come across, fishing and hunting, etc. I did the same thing with Assassin’s Creed Origins. It’s my favorite part of these games, to be honest. The overall story practically becomes secondary and much less important to me.
Ahh.. Craigslist never disappoints
My ride is here.

I’m literally in tears. Actual tears. I needed this.
Golden Globes
Stupid.
Bohemian Rhapsody?
Ugh.

I used to have one of these as a kid!

Not okay. God has forsaken this land.

Birthday coffee with the birthday girl. Happy 40th, love. So glad to be on this journey with you. Couldn’t imagine doing life with anyone else. Love you.

Nope. Fuck this.

Weary travelers.
Prepare to Judge Me. A Lot.
This is what I’m currently doing.

Yes, that’s Penatonix. And yes, this is their Christmas special. Yes, it’s sooo cheesy and corny. But, as Iris says in THE HOLIDAY, “I like corny. I’m looking for corny in my life.”
Hoping that you find a little corny to find today as well in the midst of all the chaos and disorder of this season.
As Linford Detweiler says at the end of his emails, peace like a river.
