Due to the massive amounts of snow in Seattle, Jacelyn and I had a very low key Christmas. We each had only gotten around to getting each other a couple of gifts, so our X-mas has been delayed until further notice.

Why? Because we spent too much money in Vegas during our wedding weekend. In other words, we finally tied the knot.

Friday night was drinking. Saturday was recovering from drinking and enjoying a small but fabulous dinner at Hyakumi in Caesar's Palace, and Sunday was wedding and reception activities followed by a few of us going out for a drink.

It was a great time but Jacelyn and I were ready to get home by Monday afternoon. Our flight back yesterday was smooth and quick and it's nice to back to a defrosted Seattle.

Now we're dealing with inept companies. Whenever we have the USPS hold our mail, they never seem to deliver it on the date specified to deliver it. When I called today to have the problem fixed, the person on the other line was a jackass and told me someone would call the next business day, which is Friday which means we won't get our held mail until Saturday at the earliest.

The shuttle service that brought us back home from Sea-Tac overcharged us and now no one wants to field my calls or e-mails of complaint.

And now my wife (had to throw that in there) is on the phone struggling with Dell because of the 4 power cords that have failed for our two laptops in the span of 4 months. This is not the first time we've had this problem (clearly, we have had 4 power cords which mean the first two failed and we had replaced).

So, welcome to the marriage!
