An Almost Christmas Present

Monday, December 31st, 2007 @ 11:33 pm | Bitching, Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The new computer we got the kids is finally set up and configured. I stayed up most of the night on Saturday installing and configuring software. It was supposed to be a belated Christmas present but I didn’t expect it to be nearly as late as it was. Despite “guaranteed 3-day shipping” everything didn’t finally [...]

Osbasso requested that everyone pick go back through their own archives and choose their favorite HNT of 2007. Like last year, our favorite photograph wasn’t featured in one of our HNT posts. It was taken over our Fourth of July Vacation and featured in Two For Tuesday – 95 posted the last week in July. [...]

Digital Photo Frame

We got my mom a digital photo frame for Christmas and loaded it up with photographs of the kids through the years. It took quite a while to pick out all of the photographs but she really liked the finished product and so did we. In fact, I saved all of the selections so that [...]

California Girl and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We hope that this holiday season brings the best of times to you and your family. Midwestern City Boy & California Girl P.S.

HNT – 121

Thursday, December 20th, 2007 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Osbasso requested that everyone pick three HNT/blogger participants, but only three. And then tell the world what you’d get them for Christmas, if you had the means to do so. Since we also did the same thing last year we’re going to pick three new people. Not because we didn’t like last years choices; but [...]

The End Of Dog Days

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 @ 7:49 pm | General, Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

I was going to post this yesterday but I was too busy having nothing to do that I didn’t get around to it. It wasn’t easy but we delivered our project on time and under cost. So, now I’m on Christmas vacation. The kids still have to go to school but that just gives me [...]

Just For Fun

Sunday, December 16th, 2007 @ 10:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I was reading a post on another blog recently about the impact ads have on reader’s perceptions of the authors. Some blogs have no ads. Some blogs have a few text ads. And other blogs have full flash-based multimedia ads. Personally, I am not overly fond of sites with a lot of ads simply because [...]

HNT – 120

Thursday, December 13th, 2007 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Osbasso requested that this week’s HNT feature a Christmas tree. We trimmed the tree the first weekend in December; but California Girl and I haven’t had much time together without the kids around. So, we decided to feature a Christmas theme with photographs that we could take in private. As we have done in the [...]

Two For Tuesday – 115

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 @ 9:45 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

The date in the byline is not a misprint. Our Two for Tuesday post is up. And it’s still only Tuesday. For the second day in a row, I left work at a (semi) reasonable time. I feel almost alive again. Half Nekkid Thursday for this week is supposed to be Christmas tree themed, so [...]
