Christmas Morning

Well, it has been a rather interesting Christmas. I am not complaining... just sharing how mine went.

We had a great time visiting family all day Christmas Eve. We got to see lots of Grandparents and Great Grandparents, open presents, give presents and share our love with our family.

We have a tradition with my wifes family that usually runs late... and it did. Normally my 2 year old is in bed AND asleep by 8:00pm. We got home by 10:00pm and needless to say he wasn't tired at all. My little guy didn't actually fall asleep until about 01:00am. He wasn't feeling well. I had to call Santa and tell him to come around 3:00am and not at Midnight.

<Door Creaking> I wake up and here comes the little guy out of his room. Recharged and ready to open presents at 7:00am. We open presents and he loved them. My wife and I both opened our presents and things were going great.

What did I get you ask? I got an extra battery for my digital camera (dead and won't even re-charge), a refurbished 2GB mp3 player (broken and shuts off any time I press the next, play, pause or up button), a license for Adobe Lightroom 2.0 (reactivated my expired trial version ... back up and running, ah!), an ankle holster for my 9mm handgun (totally rocks and very comfortable), and that's about it.

Now if I could only get my laptop to stop being retarded and stay charged when plugged into the powercord, I could use Lightroom. I have an old (6 years +) HP pavilion ZV5000 laptop. I've replaced the mother board TWICE and the solder on the mother board keeps breaking. Thus when you plug it in... you get no power... can't charge battery... can't run off the AC from the wall... headaches. Try googling "ZV5000 Power" and see what you get.

So far this afternoon, my little guy fell asleep in the car at 9am and now will not take a nap.

*Guh!*
