GAYmes night / Countdown to 2012

Well the countdown to 2012 is ON.

We got some good holiday cheer on Thursday night at Joel and Christopher's place.  Sorry, I mean at MARSHALLs place. (I cant believe I failed to take a snapshot of him so here is a stolen one from f-book)

There was SO MUCH FOOD.  SO MUCH delicious food.  Homemade sushi, smoke salmon, artichoke dip, pumpernickel awesomeness, and of course my homemade tartlettes.

We got out the good ol POP 5 game and split into two teams (MAGICALLY selected by Jeff's space phone- there is a website for everything, you know) 

Pop 5

Here are some examples (THIEVED from JENNA) of the array of artists in the house: 

CELEBRITY:  "Carrot Top"
MEDIUM: Play Doh

 

CELEBRITIES:  "The Blue Man Group"
MEDIUM: (Purple) Sharpie and paper

The B-MAN pic was mine.  Sadly I do not have the same (or even remnants of) what Corey has for artistic abilities.  The sad face in the front is supposed to symbolize ME watching the B-man Group perform.  I HATE the BMG, and thought that was a slick hint.

Party Playas

The beautiful (somewhat newly) MRS. I 

Then last night it was ANOTHER fun night with Fio and Ro.

We ordered BIG SLICE from St Clair (addictive) and hung out by the fire log.

Sadly we wont be spending NYE with those two (almost 3!).  So we figured a pre-NYE night was imperative :)

And now.... the countdown begins.  Looking forward to some FREIXNET and Mexican Food with my love, and of course that midnight kiss.  I'm thinking about slipping him the tongue tonight.

I hit the liquor store early to avoid the lines.  Smartest thing I've done all day.

Quick! Liquor Store closed soon!

The cat sees the fridge and sings the NO song:

2011 xmas

Well it wasn't so much a WHITE Xmas but it was great one all the same. We got away for 5 nights this year.

The night before we left was my LAST DAY of work until the New Year and I was doing this:

Work Xmas get-together.....

Needless to say I was a wee tired but in decent form, nonetheless.

C and I got up to his parents on Thursday Dec 22nd and stayed until Xmas morning.

We then made the trek an hour north to my moms and stayed 2 more nights. We had an amazing young lady cat sitting our hairy son so we needn't worry about him.

 

I got my very own stocking at the McG house this year- with my name sewn into it and everything!

 

Corey made Lil Kel and Rob their very own "personalized" treats! Awww and EW!

 

Those slippers emulated RALPHIE

Awww sweet buds

 

Mom and Kel say winking wearing glasses = major fail

"THE TREE"- usually crooked and sometimes known to my mother as a giant asshole (like the year it fell down with all moms glass decorations on it).  Its always a little different- but somehow a reincarnation of the last tree, year after year.

 

Cheers!  This was our 6th Xmas as a couple. I guess because we got together just before the holidays back in 2006. 

I still love the crazy bastard as much as I ever have.

HAHAAH Ohhh ramsay!

ROCKTOBER

Well October was filled with some good-ass times.

C dawgs BIG Bday for one-

I actually pulled off a surprise party.

He was actually surprised.

Pretty epic night. THANKS to the KUMARS for their house.  My apt would have fallen down with all those awesome people in it.

Hmmm what esle?

Oh right HALLOWEEN!

First there was work, where SWEETBUD stole the show!

And then off to KW to BOLTS party

Let's finish this off with a real winner, shall we?

 BAHAHAHAHA

Next up- November (which equals my bday)

Where was I in 2007 when this came out?

Beautiful.

meeting time

 

in a meeting room with a WEBCAM equals this!

lordy lordy.....

My sweet sweet baby has a pretty... significant birthday coming up next week.

Time to spoil him like crazy because HECK he deserves it.

Still looks younger than me though (that son of a ....)! 

We were informed of yet another doppelganger for him.  A new waiter at our local think C looks like the dood from the SILVER SUN PICKUPS-

Let's see then... this means he is something like this equation?

(I threw Elliott in there for good measure.  When we first first FIRST started dating we were at HURRICANEs on Bloor and some dood came up and told C he reminded the guy SO MUCH of E)

(Plus he was a musical genius and I love him)

So news.... Our new thing around the house this week has been to taper off the toilet paper into a point after use, like housekeeping would.

So basically it's like we're living the hot resort life here in Toronto while the air gets colder around us.

Although this weekend does not count.

What is it about Thanksgiving weekend in Southern Ontario lately?

Seriously- 2 years ago C dawg and I went golfing and it was so hot that we ended up in Lake Huron swimming.  

Mid October?  sure, why not?

My IPOD thinks I am a gay man?

Put the old guy on SHUFFLE this morning on my walk to work-

What do you think?

we won

Well- (much to the Kumars and even OUR OWN surprise) we won this year's Hell's Kitchen bet-off!

CoCo grabbed that vase fulla money and dumped er right on my head!

Rockstars!

NEWNESS

What's NEW:

Well THESE TWO BEAUTIES got hitched:

And there was some photo-booth fun:

And some dancing.  In C's case- some FLIPPING:

GOING IN FOR THE FRONT FLIP

There was also some unfortunate face-planting-into-gravel but thankfully no photo's to accompany this.

... it heeled real nice and fast.  That what I get for neglecting to make use of my arms when falling.

HELL'S KITCHEN finale:

It is a close game- Fio and Ro with their guy-pick left (Will)- same for Corey and I (Paul).

There are 2 other contenders as well.  But I don't feel much competition there:

BBQ WARMING:

Had Bolt and Mark in this past weekend for a sleepover.  We hit Joel and Christopher's AMAZING housewarming party.  I'm not sure if photos were taken but am looking forward to seeing any- if they are out there.

Good mix of beers, great grub, and of course the best people out there.  OH and KARAOKE....

SUMMER IS OVER (?):

We'll have to wait and see.  Although I have already brought out the leather jacket (so cool), I feel there is still a few patio days left in our future....

It'll be ok

When C dawg leaves me for a few nights to go see his parents... he first stops off at the grocery store to pick up his baby some of her favorites.

Not the cat though... he came with the place.

But pls note the WheatbagThins, some old cheddar, Herdez Salsa (the best) and Amy's Chickless-Noodle soup!

I'll be ok til Friday ;)

I was born in the wrong decade

LIFE magazine featured the below fashions for a HIGH SCHOOL FASHION shoot in 1969.

Swoon.
