MIL still insisted on hosting Christmas. I offered to host 3 different times. No luck. So I get to spend Christmas in a barn and travel trailer. MIL will spend the whole time bitching about how small the kitchen is. I made the mistake of asking if they even had a Christmas tree. Of course the answer was no. Now my wife wants to take our tree with us. That ain’t happening.
December 24, 20241 yr Popular Post Okay let me come clean. I posted earlier but I think I've distilled it better now. I kind of beat my uncle's ass earlier tonight. In front of my granddad's house. He had been talking a ton of shit all night and at one point crossed the line by saying some shit about me and my dad. I'm just not sure about posting it here because it's pretty fucking nasty still and honestly I feel like someone in my family could still potentially shoot and kill me. Idk. I guess I feel slightly safer by airing it out. Happy Holidays.

December 24, 20241 yr On the kick ass side, just found out that our niece & nephew are both in Austin this xmas so we're going to meet up with them at BD Riley's at Mueller tomorrow afternoon and buy them some drinks while giving them respite from their family drama. Their parents (wife's brother and his wife) divorced about 5 years ago. The kids are both out of college & in the early stages of getting on with life. If any of you assholes are at BD Riley's tomorrow I'll be the tall, skinny white dude with a receding hairline. Should be easy to spot amongst that crowd. Come by and give me the secret surly handshake & I'll buy you a pint.

Well 6pm was supposed to be dinner we ate at 9pm and now the gf and family are still wrapping presents at 1115. We still have “games” and white elephant to go through. I’m enjoying bourbon and watching the green mile though so it’s ok.
December 25, 20241 yr Popular Post Working in the office as always this morning. Holiday pay and a vacation day in return makes it worth it. Plus, the peace and quiet. Won't be able to see my family today since most of them don't live in the DFW area or in Texas anymore. However, a coworker has invited me over to spend Christmas with their family. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
December 25, 2024Dec 25 Popular Post Where do I begin? My wife, son and I have made the move up to Tyler. I got a junior C level job at a company up here starting the week before thanksgiving and have been up here since. My wife and son have been in Houston until this last weekend, finishing up the school semester, packing the house, and cleaning/getting it ready to be listed. Thankfully, my wife knocked it out of the park and the house is ready to be listed. I’ve been living with my parents for the last 6 weeks. It will be nice though as my dad was just diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Unfortunately, he’s not taking it too well and neither is my mom. She’s a basket case. Thanksgiving went off without a hiccup. My wife and son came in for thanksgiving. My wife’s sisters stayed at their homes. Christmas is a whole different story. Christmas Eve, we did the whole shindig at my folks house. It went just fine. Since most of our shit is in a storage building in south Tyler, it was a gift card Christmas. My wife’s sisters showed up the 23rd. The one with the abusive ex husband has moved to Charlotte and is now shacking up with a 60 year old guy. He came with her. He’s not a bad dude at all. Just a little…off. He does nothing but computer games, board games, and goes on cruises. He’s pretty mellow and good for her though…stable. The other sister…lol. She showed up with her two pit bull mixed dogs. Mind you, we have our dog and two cats at my in laws house because my wife and son have moved into my in laws house (10 minutes from my folks). This sister has absolutely no discipline instilled in her dogs. The shit dogs jump on everyone, growl at everything, pick on our border collie. She’s loud, obnoxious, and just a cold hearted entitled bitch. It got so bad that my mother in law told her she had to leave tonight and she’s not welcome back next year. Her boytoy (sugar daddy) came over and opened gifts, ate, and left to go visit his mom in Dallas. Their two shit dogs and the fucking sister aren’t even welcome at his mom’s house. Gifts were pretty tame this year. One thing I found absolutely hilarious is that my in laws are wanting to “even things out” amongst the daughters (3, I’m married to the youngest). They told the middle daughter that the money they’ve given her is forgiven, and they gave my wife and I each $18k (tax free gift for 2024). Cool. Yeah, the other deadbeat didn’t get shit. She still owes them close to $50k. My MIL also told me that we will be getting another check in Jan 2025 so it really will be even then. My in laws didn’t give us a bunch of shit though as all of our house is in a storage facility. The deadbeat gave us THC shit (she’s a franchise owner of some bullshit CBD store in ATL) even though she knows I’m drug tested for my job and we have an 8 year old…oh, she’s been doing this for 6 years and hasn’t made a fucking red cent. My FIL and her sugardaddy are feeding her money (FIL not so much anymore). Anywho, after an argument in which my MIL called my SIL an entitled cold hearted bitch, I sat my ass down and spilled my guts. Merry fuckin Christmas and Ho fucking Ho you assholes!
December 25, 2024Dec 25 Popular Post Went to my friends annual get-together. Great brisket, turkey, and all the fixings. One dip shit was decked out in aggy gear and wouldn't stop trashing UT. When he said, it's not like Texas played anyone, I asked if ATM ever played for the sec championship. Oh and didn't Texas beat the Aggies on their home field? Oh the sweet silence from that moment on. Best moment was when grandad poked his son in law in the ass with a fork to get him out of his seat. Edited December 25, 2024Dec 25 by MissingInAction
December 26, 2024Dec 26 Popular Post Hosted the GF's entire family last night. Usually when those assholes get together and drinks are involved, arguments and sometimes squaring off happens. Last night, everybody was on their best behavior. We ate great food (cooked by me), drank, and acted merry. Many laughs, some gambling, and an all-around great time, with a big mess for me to clean up. Meh...I put "Revolver" and "Rubber Soul". on the CD player, popped a few tops, and got the mess knocked out in the time it took the dishwasher to do two loads. And the GF was so appreciative of my hard work, that she took responsibility for another "load" when I finally came to bed. pretty, pretty, pretty good.
December 26, 2024Dec 26 Popular Post Mine ended up sucking. next year everyone can fuck the fuck off. I am taking my wife to some quiet cabin and fuck the world. Never hosting again. And no one but her is getting a present. Bah Humbug.
December 26, 2024Dec 26 I didn’t don’t do Christmas at all this year. No decorations, didn’t receive or give a single present. My only concession was taking my 94 year old mom to her usual Christmas Eve candlelight service. Christmas Day was just me and the dogs. We went to the dog park in the afternoon and then went to my mom’s and made bison meatloaf for dinner. I would have just bailed out to the ranch by myself with the dogs, but I had to stay in Houston for my mom. PS fuck Houston. It has the world’s shittiest drivers.

December 27, 2024Dec 27 About to spend 2 days at a cabin with my in laws. This is primed for some kind of story. I’m mildly optimistic for a lack of drama, as Failure to Launch BIL recently gained legitimate employment and their cunt dogs aren’t allowed on the property. At least 70% of their drama stems from one of them yelling at a dog and another one yelling at the person who yelled at the dog.
December 28, 2024Dec 28 Well, to be fair you shouldn’t yell at someone’s dog. I’d get rid of my family way before I got rid of my dog.
December 28, 2024Dec 28 Well we had a bit of a scare Christmas morning... My in-laws live in NYC, so we go up every year for a Christmas time visit. This year was great. Her dad rented a cabin upstate, so we got a little time in the "country" in addition to coming back and getting some city time. We have 3 dogs at home and a great pet-sitter that stays at our house here in Houston. We're sitting around Christmas morning, having coffee and mimosas etc. Wife gets a call from the alarm company, reporting a fire. Wife's anxiety shoots through the roof and becomes close to hysterical. Call the pet-sitter, no answer. Call the neighbors, no answer. Look at the ring camera and see the fire trucks pull up. Look at the interior camera and nothing is happening.. After a tense 15 minutes and feeling pretty helpless being so far away, the pet-sitter calls her and says everything is fine. Steam from the guest bathroom set off the smoke detector/alarm. 🙄 Switched to whiskey drinks after that.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Popular Post Rough Holiday season for my family this year. As many of you remember from years past, my Uncle Gary is generally the star of all family gatherings. Well his life choices finally caught up to him and he was diagnosed with lung cancer two weeks before Thanksgiving. Hospice was called in on 12/18 and he passed in his sleep on 12/22. Sad to see him go, as he was a real one. He didn’t go out quietly, as on the second day of hospice, despite being sedated, he managed to wake up and tell the nurses to “stop fucking with me, and bring me my cigarettes.” Family gatherings will never be the same without the OG.

I'm not a loner by any means, but I'm definitely a bit of an introvert and I enjoy my personal (quiet) time. I also am a creature of habit. Hitting the road tomorrow to go spend Xmas Eve and Xmas Day doing shit with my side of the family at my folks place. Then Thursday and Friday visiting the wife's family in Louisiana. Get back to Houston on Saturday just in time for my wife's best friend and her new boyfriend (who I've never met) to fly in from Colorado to stay with us until the 2nd. Tonight is more or less my last night of normalcy until next weekend. It's finally over. I'm fucking beat, but when I get home from work this evening, it'll just be me, the wife, and our dogs and we're going to have a boring old regular weeknight. Simple homemade dinner followed by an episode or 2 of one of our shows and then off to bed at a reasonable time. Can't wait!
January 2Jan 2 Late Christmas was hilarious. Sister and nephews and oldest nephew’s gf showed up at noon.

January 7Jan 7 Day after Xmas, found myself having to entertain niece and her fiancé for an afternoon. I had heard that Lee Harvey Oswald was buried nearby. Googled, and sure enough, his grave was about ten minutes away. The kids were up for it, so we went. (I did not bring the flowers). A little surprised by the flags- I knew he was a vet, but would have thought his discharge (after defecting to Russia) would have been less than honorable. Maybe a relative brought them? After, we went out for hamburgers and beer. So, not really bitching, just sharing a little bit of crazy.

The FWPD were terrified that someone would make an attempted on Kennedy there and were relieved when he left the city. He also said they had to put a watch on Oswald's grave after his death and that it was covered by the greenest grass in the cemetery from people pissing on it.

January 7Jan 7 Spent a week with the in-laws and it wasn't as bad as usual. FIL is fine, but MIL treats everyone like they're 5 and doesn't want to let anyone do anything for themselves, which drives me batshit. She sets a table for breakfast every morning -- knife, spoon, fork, napkin -- even if everyone is just eating cereal and toast like they always do. The last thing I want to do when I wake up is sit down at a table to eat with everyone so I always skip that, which bothers her. One morning, I was getting some leftover pizza out of the fridge and she comes into the kitchen hurriedly and asks, "Do you want me to heat the oven up for you?" and I kind of snapped at her ("No, I don't want you to heat the oven up for me!") because I was standing right next to the oven at the time, plus I eat cold pizza for breakfast regularly, which my wife told me she had already told her, plus who heats up leftover pizza in an oven anyway? The day after Christmas we got up early to start the 12-hour drive back and she's bent out of shape because we're not eating breakfast at the table with knives and spoons and forks... Wife and I are in the kitchen talking and she comes in and says, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!" I blurted out "YOU HAVE SPOONS???!" which got a disapproving glare from the wife, but now gives me something to annoy my wife with every day since -- every time my wife says she's hungry, I say, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!"

But I'm going to insist on not letting you do anything for yourself like you would if you were actually home!" She's from Arkansas, so my wife always claims it's a Southern thing.
