Merry Christmas

Hello all in JournalVille.
I'd like to start by wishing everyone a joyful, happy and above all, a peaceful holiday season. I won't say Christmas because a lot of folks are celebrating other holidays. Kwanzaa, Hanukkah etc. So being pc the Leprechaun will just say Happy Holidays.
Yesterday we ventured to Wall township which is about 45 minutes from here to a shoe store the Lovely One likes alot. She got a bonus and wanted some dressy boots and she scored a very nice pair. They look great on her but the downside is they have a heel. A big heel and she will now tower the Leprechaun. Of course the ten year-old next door is towering me now so I guess that's not a big deal after all. My wife works her arse off and she deserves to get Herself something nice. So I'm happy that worked out.
All year my wife does for everyone. She is the most caring and giving person I have ever met. I wish I made more money so I could buy her something really nice. Like a freakin' Acura or a house at the shore. Maybe someday.
The said darts I mentioned in my previous entry have been purchased. I made a stop at our local Dicks Sporting goods and they actually had them! The set I got is a bit heavier than what I'm used to throwing but they were so much cheaper than going online that I could not resist. I have practiced a bit with them and they seem real nice. So thanks Laura for that.
Today we ventured over to see my step-son TomCat. He lives in an old town called Allentown. Once we entered his apartmen I was greeted by Tinny, his bird. Tinny came into our lives last year. I was having dinner and my seat faces the sliding door and I saw something bright fly by. I jumped out of my seat and walked to the patio and this beautiful bird lands on my shoulder! We tried to find the owner but nobody seemed to know where the little fellow came from. So after we held onto him for a few hours, Tom came to get her and she ( Tinny that is) is now living La Vida Loca. Why didn't we keep her you may ask?? Well let's just say Chainsaw had a great interest in ther bird, as cats will do.
After Toms we stopped in a couple of funky shops that are housed in a historic mill. Cool stuff.
The we ventured to this great little pizzeria for lunch. When I say little I mean little. 5 booths. They have the best food man.... Enzo and Anna and the staff are great.
Then it was on to Jackson to see Herself's brother Bob and his family. They are the best let me tell ya. His wife and two kids are super and the kids have grown like freakin' weeds since I've first met them. And they have always been very good to me. Always making me feel like I'm part of the family.
Tonight we are going to try and make Midnight Mass. We have done it for the last 3 years and we would hate to miss it. However, Chainsaw had us up at 530 again today. He is slowly killing us. He isn't a bad cat. He just wants to be fed on demand at all hours. I'm searching the phone book for a vet who will do a staple job on his gut. No luck so far.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday..
Leprechaun out.
