Best Present Ever?

Well here he is. This years winner of Nutcracker of the year for 2005. For all of you who don't know I have a nerdy habit, and it is collecting nutcrackers. There is only one rule. The must all be given to me. Believe me I got some very nice ones. I received a "king" from my mom this year that has a real fur cape, hand carved and painted in Russia. A "regift" from sis and bro. in-law. Seems they received a Three Musketeers nutcracker last Christmas from a Aunt who shall remain nameless. When the Mommy-in-law went out to Alberta to see the new edition to the family. Hey did I mention that Marthas sissy had another boy? His name is Wyatt Jay David Kemble a brother for Thomas. Anyway they said it looked creepy so they asked Mom to bring it back for me. Last years winner was the Court Jester that my Wife got for me. This hockey playing Santa blew me away. He is even wearing a touque!!!! He was front and center for all the world junior action (where we took gold and the U.S.A. got NADA). Needless to say this collection of mine is now large enough to necessitate another shelf in the bedroom. And may I add my dear Martha, if I have to have a life sized plaqued picture of Lynda Carter dressed in full wonder Woman regalia then I can have my "nut heads". This weekend we are heading to the science center to view the "Bodies In Motion" exhibit. This artist has perfected the art of plastenization, where he takes donated human cadavers and basically coats them internally and externally in a clear plastic. They are then stripped of skin to show how muscles work, cut into thin slices to illustrate the layers ect. It seems a little creepy and I hope I don't end up with nightmares but it also intrigues me. The human body is a complete marvel. I mean just look what Martha is doing as we speak!!!! Did I mention my little Angel is in her tummy? ya maybe once, right? Even as I type I cannot wipe the grin off of my face. I really hope Benson takes it well. He is VERY spoiled and is used to having Daddy all to himself. Anyway I have been ordered to take these movies back because if I don't I cannot have my new luck treats (so says the boss).

Remember: Worry is interest payed on a bebt you don't owe.
