Merry Christmas from the International Space Station

Hopefully in another decade, I’ll be wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from outer space. Space tourism is getting to be more and more of a reality. But I digress…

Why my wife is awesome
Posted on December 10th, 2010 @ 7:09 am
Halfway through my 30 days of doodling series, my wife posted this on Facebook:
After your doodle of the day is over in 15 days, I do fully expect a long list of why your wife is awesome. Or you could do the list before your doodle days are over.
Since I’m on a visual kick, I decided to make my list out of pictures. And, of course, I would be in major trouble if I didn’t out-do my list of doodles.
So, with no further ado, here are thirty-eight reasons why my wife is awesome, in no particular order:
- Leann let me build this arcade
- Leann married me
- Leann loves Disneyworld
- Leann made Josh pose for this photo because I wasn’t there
- Leann thinks Josh crying because he got paint on his arm is funny
- Leann thinks things like this are cool
- One Halloween, Leann dressed our kids as Batman (close second to Superman)
- Leann surprised me with a Magic Mouse as a gift
- Leann loves our kids so much that she actually wore this thing
- Leann likes ridiculously overpriced fondue
- Leann stayed up super-late helping us move into our office next to Jimmy Johns
- Leann also lets me dress Jackson in Superman stuff
- Leann let me dress Jackson in Superman stuff from a very young age
- Leann let us go for a family vacation to the Action Figure Museum
- Against her better judgement, Leann let me and the kids dress up in these
- Leann makes really good fresh salsa
- Leann bought me these awesome shoes on clearance
- After I bought this Apple shirt for Josh (and Jackson), Leann actually dressed them in it.
- Leann loves taking the kids to the zoo, even though she secretly hates animals
- Leann encourages our kids to play on the computer
- When told to pick something out for me at Pop’s, Leann came back with this
- Leann thinks things like this are funny
- Leann participates in my self-photography hobby
- This time, Leann dressed Josh as Mario and Jackson as Luigi
- Did I mention Leann gave me this kiddo?
- Leann has always made our kids take daily baths
- Leann generally plays nice with my parents
- Leann threw a Superman-themed “surprise” 30th birthday party for me
- Photo ops are more important than baby comfort
- Not only did Leann let me dress Josh up like Mario and myself like Luigi, but she dressed up like the Princess
- Leann is also at least half repsonsible for Jackson
- On more than one occasion, Leann has let me dress Josh up like Mario
- Leann took this awesome picture while I was otherwise occupied, combining two of my favorites
- Photo ops are more important than safety to Leann
- Leann is at least half responsible for Josh
- While ready to give birth (and immediately afterwards), Leann put together a graduation party
- Leann likes driving arcade games
- Pre-kids, Leann went to Metropolis, IL for a Superman-themed vacation

Doodle of the Day 29

Reasons office cacti are cool:
5. They take less management than employees.
4. They can be used as a weapon against employees.
3. After touching it, your kids will (maybe) take you seriously when you tell them to stop touching everything in your office.
2. Cacti’s website demands are minimal.
1. In a pinch, you can eat one if you forget your lunch.

Wow, somehow lost steam there for awhile with only two doodles to go. This is the second to last one, and I’ve got tomorrow’s ready to go!

Doodle of the day 24

Wow. So before today, I haven’t actually been embarrassed by one of my doodles. That has changed. This one is bad. Really bad. So bad that I drew a bad Mario (on purpose) to comment on it, and he turned out better than the original doodle.
