Keith and Amanda's Weblog

So…once again it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. But during my blogging respite, I’ve been pondering a couple things I’d like to mention. Don’t expect anything too hard-hitting; they’re all pretty simple thoughts…

1. First of all, I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving! I finally wrapped up my gluttonous tour yesterday at the home of Keith’s paternal grandparents. We followed Thanksgiving dinner with a skating birthday party for his five-year-old neice, Halen. And yes, Keith and I, along with his brother and two sisters, skated like we were 5 ourselves again….until my left knee and my right hip began hurting. I might be a little sore today. What am I, 75?
2. This is a tad overdue, but I want to congratulate Ryan and Christen on the birth of their second daughter, Olive Grace Byrd. She is beautiful, of course, and I can’t wait to see her in person.
3. I hate sushi. Random, yes, but I must share this revelation. I have tried it multiple times from multiple locations, and the result is always the same. I freakin’ do not like it. And the sad thing is that I really want to like it, but I can’t. It’s really bland and fishy to me. In addition, I have a texture issue with it. I just hate the way it feels when I chew a big mouthful of it. Do not try to sway me. It will not work.
4. I put up my Christmas tree, and I find it very lovely. I would really enjoy posting a picture of it, but I cannot find my camera battery charger. I think I may have left it in Tulsa.
5. Retuned Guitars, Keith and his brother’s company, will have some very cool new guitars online for the holiday. Please check them out if you’re in the market for a guitar, or you know someone who is.

26 days til Christmas. Since I don’t have a pretty picture to show you of my tree, please enjoy this video clip from our favorite Christmastime movie, A Christmas Story.
