Off today. Yesterday would have been my dad's birthday so today I am going downtown to have a Guinness and a sandwich at the bar that was his favorite. My mom and my wife have the same birthday and it is on saturday. We are celebrating on sunday which mean today is my day to get gifts and order the cake. You may be wondering " but chefdaddy why don't you make them a cake?". To that I say " shut up I don't make cake" I am not a great baker. I can follow a recipe and make it taste right but I don't really have the patience or bag skills to make it beautiful so I will leave that to the professionals.
The girls are super excited to be back at school. It has been a christmas clothes fashion show all week. The wife wore her new dress to work the other day only to find that it is very thin and when she stands by the giant windows in her office the black thong and bra were not the best choice. It made the IT guys day I'm sure. The wife has really done well this holiday season I am so proud of her. She is even able to pull off a short hair cut with no head covering which hasn't been possible in years. Part of it is that she has to get her new drivers license and they don't let you wear a hat or anything for that and part of it is that she is just in a good head space for a change. I try not to get my hopes up but I am happy for her and hopeful.
My new niece stayed at my brothers house last night for the first time and so far that transition is going well. She is such a cutie. My nephew is in for some adjustments not being the only child any more. He is great but he is super attached to them both and spoiled rotten. There will be many tears I'm sure.
I try not to make resolutions as they have always been a hopeless waste of energy but this year I told the wife I would switch to drinking coffee at work instead of coke to decrease my sugar/calorie intake. It has been going well but mostly because I told the breakfast girls what I was doing and they always have a pot for me and leave me a fresh one when they leave. It is kind of like trading crack for cough drops but I have only said fuck it the one day which for me is pretty good. I have found in the past that I really only have about three days worth of will power. On the forth day of this trail I said fuck the coffee and had pop all day but fortunately the breakfast girls guilted me back on the straight and narrow the next day and I have been all good since. I would think that this switch should result in some weight loss especially since we are closed for lunch now and I don't eat lunch anymore. The owner has started fucking with me about eating better because he is on a health kick now too. He keeps threatening to take me on his cross fit work out because technically I am a member of the same gym as him. I keep telling him that working 6 -12 hour days means my body needs to rest a recoup every chance it gets and not be doing frivolous repetitive motions. There is no way I am joining cross fit. Fuck that.
I took a picture of the Hooters sign I was going to put on hear because the letters have burned out in a way that it just says "hors" now which always makes me laugh but of course I have been out witted by my phone. Oh well, peace sg.
