Christmas in KC

Want to be jealous for just a sec?  (Well unless you live in the arctic circle of the US)

I had a white Christmas!  

It was so great to be able to spend Christmas with my dad, step-mom and step-brother & new wife.   It was great to be able to just get away from work for awhile, to drink, eat, and watch Packer football.  Even to actually get my back hot, because it was cold enough to sit in front of a fire.

Which I did.  Even when it was burning the crap out of my back, because well, down in these parts, a fire is hardly called for.

I don't have too much to say, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Garment - Kansas City

While in Kansas City, I went to heaven.

 

It was a placed called Garment.

 

It combined two of my most favorite things:  clothing and alcohol.

 

It was a really cute boutique shop, with a bar in the middle.  The people that owned it were so sweet and helpful.  I also couldn't leave without bringing back a few cute tops.  I probably could have bought everything in there and been completely okay with it.

 

 

 

They had this cute little chalkboard trash can outside of their store.  The two above were my favorites. 

 

Next time we're in Kansas City, we will definitely be visiting again.

 

 

 



You Think Ya Know....

I've really come to a breaking point with people lately.  I am so tired of people thinking they can treat me whatever the hell way they want.  I have never once done something to purposefully harm somebody and to get this text,

 

"I don't want to be ugly, but your company has threaten legal action against me and I really don't care to have anything to do with you,"

 

really pushed me over the edge.

 

Apparently this person got some incredibly false information from someone else, but you know what, that's fine.  I'm tired of caring about it.  Obviously this person is not worth being in my life, and since he isn't mature enough to come to me and ask, then I could care less about him and his life.  So there's that...

 

This past weekend I went to my dad's.  It was a much much needed time away from anything work related.  It was nice to just push everything from my mind and just focus on being with my dad.  I tell ya, being in transportation is not for the weak.  I'm not even sure that I belong there. 

 

A few pictures from the weekend...

 

 

 

We went to an Art Festival on Saturday at the Power and Light District; I found B the best anniversary present, and I'm really excited to give it to him.  Unfortunately, it was a little too big to put on the plane, so he won't get it until July when they come down here.

 

It was a good, good weekend.  I wish I didn't have to leave and come back here to all of this, but here we are.  Life's not perfect, but I am trying.
