I, naturally, got nothing for Christmas. But now that I think about it, I also got nothing for Hannukah. I'm going to demand some cash.

Christmas cost me just over 2 grand. But my credit cards are still clean at 0.

I got a lot of DVDs, Clothes, gift certificates. One gift, my wife claims hasn't shown up yet.

But my favorite gift was in my stocking.
A permission slip from my wife to do a Vegas trip with a buddy and a credit of 300 for the airfare. YAHOOOOOOO.

I just told my fiancee that I was going to fly off to Vegas with my friends.

She asked why I would go by myself.

Fiancee's are easier since they don't want to take any chances having gotten that far already. Wait till you're married and you want to go and not take her. I guarentee she will have a different attitude.

I'm not going to list everything, but I will say it's nice to have a cousin with a sense of humor.

She got me a copy of Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter on DVD.
