Umm I’ll spare you mine but I hope you don’t get the kind fo nekkid pics you don’t want after that post. There are a LOT of knuckleheads round here.[/quote]
Lol! “This is my rendition of Santa’s toy sack - please help…”[/quote]
your nuts! lolz. 
Frenchy, you are living dangerously. But no risk, no reward.
Today’s training was utterly forgettable, but useful in a never-give-up-always-keep-on-fighting sort of way. Lots of high volume, low weight squats. Some bench pressing to no major effect. Some decline situps just because.
I won’t be able to make it to the gym for my usual Friday training, so I’ll keep busy by thinking up ways to train at home. I have a bar and enough weights for a military press session. And using lil power’s idea for banded BW box squats (or even with a lightly loaded bar) could work out fine for a day of squat rehab.
I am one of those people for whom Christmas makes a little-sad. I credit the hilarity of the planning and execution of the Santa hat picture for helping me keep the sad at bay until now. But it did hit me today, the holiday hate, right in the middle of the fucking grocery store filled with frantic women loading up their carts. I don’t enjoy the work involved in shopping for and cooking up the family xmas, but there is nothing for it but to suck it up and look stylin’ doing it.
Onwards.
I understand. My Christmas will involve cooking and caring for my parents for a couple of days. Essentially it’ll be a working Christmas. I’m doing it because I’m not sure how many more they will have, but to be honest, I would rather be spending it with my man, who I see so rarely, because he is stuck in Manchester on his own with no money.
I think I’d enjoy it a lot more if I spent it with friends, a tree, a big dinner and presents, but (and I know this sounds bad) with the parents, it’s a duty and a pain in the arse.
Anyway, I’m sure your piccy cheered up a lot of people. And, uh, nice ass. Just thought I’d put that out there.

Trust me, I totally understand. I think part of my particular sad is thinking there is something special about this holiday that EVERYONE ELSE GETS but that I just don’t. Normally I am fine with the crowd going one way, and me the other. But this one never fails to get under my skin.
Perhaps someday for Christmas I will fly somewhere warm and spend it on a sunny beach with my toes dipping in blue ocean water and my hand wrapped around a drink with an umbrella sticking out of it.
Only Kim posts a pic that’s talked about for 3 pages haha
Don’t worry about no workout Friday, none for me either. Just enjoying the holidays.
I hope you do the same; the preparation for the Holidays do suck, but it’s worth it. And you look stylin’ doing ANYTHING, so no doubt the stove won’t be the only thing cooking in the kitchen ;D
Make the best of it Gawgeous!

onwards…
i’ve never “gotten” this holiday either and the sads hit a bit today because both kids were here for 10 days and now both are gone.
I can dig a kimba lookin’ stylin’!
I know this may sound pretentious but if the prep and shopping is getting you down you could simply look into catering? Or do something totally unconventional and have finger food cocktails and such later in the evening.
Hell, I’m hosting a “make your own gastronomic sammich” supper for a bunch of the pickiest eaters ever. Think hot dogs and mum’s spaghetti only. I’m buying some gorgeous “homemade” bread, a platter of local cheeses, fab proscuitto and jambon de parma, grilled & marinated peppers… the works. My prep will involve throwing together a salade or 2, setting up the table buffet style and thats it.
What I’m trying to say is, maybe you should throw your party Kimba-style rather than follow da sheep.
Bear on pegg’s laptop, again.
stories about not getting christmas.
my mother was 19 years old when her father died. she was in nursing school in nyc with home in nj. she went home and was making funeral arrangements, and for whatever reason, her mother went somewhere and my mother was at home by herself.
it was then that she realized christmas is a day just like any other, and that what makes it special is the meaning people attach to it.
some people extend condolences to her about her story, but it’s a relief more than anything else. we had lovely holidays as children, and she did it bc we loved it.
the point is that you should do it your way, kimba. it will be what you make it and like every other day, you shouldnt hafta fake it till you make it for the people you care about.
bear out
^Exactly!
I’m horrible at faking it apparently…even the In-laws told me I look exhausted.
Hang on, the New year is almost here!
The relationship theme in the song doesn’t apply to you but it sounds like you could use a river right about now.

You now I get that, for you the thing as become a chore, and chores always suck.
Its too bad your family doesn’t have a person who enjoys dong it like I do.
Hang in there Kimba. Luckily this is just a few days out of a loooong year…
So here’s to rest of the wonderful 355 days ahead of you! May they be filled with lots of love, good health, abundant wealth and tons of PRs!!
My husband always struggles with the holidays too. With all those toy drives, and the cold weather you can’t help but be reminded that in our individual excess many people will be cold and hungry and many children disappointed. He steps up his volunteering efforts, donates toys and money to the food bank…but, it’s never enough.
Me, I enjoy them. The world, at least on the surface anyway, is a little bit of a prettier place in December. I guess I like lights.
Gosh, when I read all your messages today I got all verklempt.
Seriously, I did. Thanks so much for all the support! One more day and Christmas will be done for another year. And it couldn’t be soon enough for this Grinch.
Happy Happy Christmas you Tiny Freak!

giterdone, this was really great. I used to be a skater, and I’d love a river.
