After a full year of eating strictly vegetarian to see if I felt any healthier, I'm turning it down a notch this year to "not really eating meat most of the time, but having a little sometimes and focusing more on just eating healthy." I quickly blew the "eating healthy" part and went straight for a Mr. Hero cheesesteak. In addition to serving delicious sub sandwiches, I found out that they also supply a wide range of religious deities.

The roof the roof the roof is on fire, we didn't start the fire, burn baby burn...2010 went out with an explosive bang apparently. I don't really know what else to say about New Years Eve party pictures. I think I pretty much just covered everything you would expect. A countdown picture, (a whole night of) champaigne toasts, open container antics, dressed up girls, and pitstains. The only thing missing is kissin' pictures, but I'm too shy to post those.

...and that's it. Picture number three hundred and sixty-five of three hundred and sixty-five. I'm really surprised I made it all the way though the whole year with this many pictures.

They might be melted by tomorrow, but I've been waiting weeks for snowman snow. Nicole is naked in the picture above, here's one with her clothes on. Here's another one just because I'm so excited about snowmen. Really excited.

Here's an inappropriate looking picture of my coworker popping bottles at work today. I can't believe the year is almost over.

Do you remember the commercials where they ate the pizza backwards like that? Advertising works. Nicole and I don't even like Pizza Hut, but we saw a commercial on TV and had to have stuffed crust. Then we started watching this on TV before working some more on the dollhouse (the real one, not the show on TV).

We're on a mission to make my niece Baby Lily the youngest home owner in her neighborhood. We're turning this into this into these.

I love breakfast. Nicole loves Anthropologie and wasted no time to use her gift cards. I climbed mountains and found a jackalope. The farmer's vegetable stand is closed, and Christmas is over.

Christmas is here. Snowman version of me is so baller, he has a gold chain with a snowman version of him on it. We woke up and opened presents at our house, then loaded up our sleigh with presents and went to have brunch and spend the day at Nicole's parent's. Then I did a bad job documenting, and a better job participating in the rest of the day's activities.

It's Christmas Eve! Nicole made us a delicious and festive lunch of Tofurkey and cookies. Then we went exploring on the planet Hoth, added to my growing fancy booze collection, and went to church with my parents. Mushroom demanded to know where her presents were, so we let the cats have their new bed/house/scratching thing present after midnight.

Nicole looks very excited that Christmas is almost here. Here's something very Christmas, and something not Christmas at all.

I took holiday pictures of all the creatures living in my house.

Red
Green
Snakeskin

Film is more fun. Look at this.

Random mysterious deserts spontaneously appearing everywhere and begging to be eaten is one of the best/worst aspects of Christmas time. Today, a giant tray full of every kind of baklava ever showed up on the free counter at work. At first, I dissected bite sized bits so I could try a little of all of them...by the end of the night, I was pretty much eating by the handful.

This is what presents see.

These pictures probably belong more for yesterday than today, but whatever...it's my blog and I do what I wanna. Last night/wayyy too early this morning, I set multiple alarms to wake myself up throughout various stages of the night to see the "big deal, once in the last 372 years, most amazing thing ever" solstice lunar eclipse. After dragging myself out of bed multiple times to sit in the snow for hours waiting to see the total eclipse and watch the moon magically turn red, I really just found out what a solid cloud sky looks like at four in the morning when you can no longer feel your legs.

P.s. I know there's a good Twilight joke about waiting all night in the cold to see a big let down called Eclipse in here somewhere, but I'm too bitter about the whole situation to make it funny.

P.p.s The obsessive organizer in me wants to group these moon shots with the other ones I took on 1-29 and 10-20.

In 2010, Amazon.com is the North Pole, Santa Claus ditched the sleigh for a big brown UPS van, and I get little kid excited coming home to neatly wrapped (cardboard) boxes in my driveway.

Here's another seed pod update (see 11-22). I thought it was buried and gone from the snow plows, but it's still hanging in there.

We went to dinner with my parents, and I reclaimed (stole) some more of my grandfather's camera equipment from their house. I can't even wait to use this crazy looking thing.
