Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday, dear Kappy!
Happy birthday to me!
Okay, so I already kinda sorta wished myself a happy birthday a day in advance. At the time, I didn't think I'd actually post today. But here I am.
Actually, I just wanted to point out that I can finally listen to my iPod(s) in style! Katie bought me a pair of Bose in-ear headphones. While they take a little getting used to, once you do, they sound fantastic! Wow. You never realize just how bad cheap earbuds are until you hear good stuff. And these definitely constitute "good stuff." Thanks, hon!
Does the use of the die to convey the 33 kinda imply that I'm gambling with my life? Hmmm... maybe that wasn't the best choice, eh?
Oh, and on the dice theme... while I was searching for good dice images, I came across a real beauty. Since I've already solved the Rubik's Cube (now several dozen times - I've memorized it), I think I might try to follow the step by step and make the Magnetic Dice Rubik's Cube I found over at Instructables. It's pretty sweet!
Hey, got a meme for you in the extended post. Hope you're up for some holiday spirit!
Stole this one from metalmom. I'm gonna call it Christmas Cheer.
- Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
While I love egg nog (NOG-A-SAKEEEEE!!!), I prefer hot chocolate because Katie also enjoys that and we drink it together. - Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Some wrap, some in bags. Nothing completely out in the open, though, unless we forget to wrap it. - Colored lights on tree/house or white?
White. Cleaner. Accents the snow on the outside of the house. - Do you hang mistletoe?
Isn't that stuff poisonous? - When do you put your decorations up?
Usually after Thanksgiving. The wall project is pushing that back a bit though. - What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
I don't really have one. - Favorite Christmas memory as a child?
Searching for gifts around the house. - When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Not sure entirely. But I think it had something to do with me finding not just gifts, but the entire shopping list. - Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Yep. Always have. - How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
With stuff. Lots of stuff. - Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it when it's fresh fallen and I can take some great photos. Then it becomes brown mush and really sucks. - Can you ice skate?
I took lessons as a kid so who knows if I still can. - Do you remember your favorite gift?
Digital camera from Katie. - What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Time with Katie and others (must be diplomatic about this statement). - What is your favorite holiday desert?
Anything. But I really like the icebox cookies that Katie and her dad make. My mom also makes a great buckeye. - What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Still working on those now. - What tops your tree?
A gold wire star - What is your favorite Christmas Song?
"All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. Yeah, not traditional, but I'm hooked on it. Sick and wrong, I know. - Favorite Christmas Movie?
A Christmas Story with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Love Actually close behind. - What do you leave for Santa?
Sheer disgust when the credit card bill comes in the mail.
As always, steal at will!
