RJ, I know what you were getting at. It threw me off for a second too. I've seen pictures of Mike's g/f before. So when I saw the picture of Mike and his room mate, I was like "Woah!"

But then I saw the picture of Mike and his g/f a little further down. Then everything made much more sense.

Once again Mike, congrats to you and your g/f on 3 great years!

 

Congrats Mike.
Oh Nooow i get it... your avatar...resembles you! lol

 

Congrats Mike on 3 years with your G/F!

 

Congrats to you both.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

GREAT picture Mike!!!


And congratulations to you AND your G/F (for putting up with you) for being together for 3 (sounds like) GREAT years!!!

Side note question, have you been with your G/F longer, or your roomy? (kind of an LOL)

Are things getting MORE serious with the G/F?
Is there going to be a MRS. Chibiblacksheep someday in the near future???

Have a GREAT Christmas party Mike!

 

hey mike, congrats on the big and on a side note, (also just kidding) when i saw your avatar, first thing came to mind was hank hill, not sure why but that was just my first thought, take care and thanks for all the great info you've provided all of us here on our great forum! (please, this was just the first impression i had when i saw your avatar) nothing personal hear at all, please don't be offended and if the moderators think this is offensive, please forgive me and delete if necesary! thanks

 

You gotta love hank hill, he is passionate about his cowboys lol.

 

I don't think anyone took that as offensive. We're FAMILY here, and some friendly "poking fun at" is just part of being family. Try to follow up most of it with LOL or JK or LMAO and we'll get over it!

In the words of that famous TV personality, Foghorn Leghorn, "That's a joke, son!"

 

haha thanks Chris, and everyone.

I've actually been living with my g/f longer than my roommates. It's just nice to have roommates to also split the bills with (more Mod money haha)

I live with another couple (we were all friends from College) It works out really great.

I'm not offended by the Hank Hill thing. Loved it! That was a great show

There WILL be a Mrs. blacksheep (haha) but she's in Grad School right now getting her doctorate of Physical Therapy, so no need to plan a wedding while that stress exists. And all my MCF Family will be allowed!!!

Now let's have an after the weekend update, shall we?

So we wound up getting 22 inches of snow on Saturday, the day of our Holiday party Our guest list of 42 became a swift 12 in no time. But all the people that were part of our Secret Santa braved the snow to celebrate with us



(If you look you won't find my Monte, I parked it in the farther possible space so plow trucks and other cars wouldn't even come close to it haha)

Wanna know what my G/F got me for our Chrismakuh party?


(don't mind my one friend who came early because of the snow haha)

Isn't she the best?! She knows how to get in touch with my nerd side lol

I just couldn't wait to get that hooked up!!



Here's a nice group shot of me and my g/f and our other roommates. Left to right:
Mike, Lisa, Jenna (the g/f), and myself



(I made my g/f's awesome Chrismakuh shirt for our party!!!)

All in all I think the party was a fantastic hit with the few people that were able to make it. We played games, Twister, Cranium, Driedel (complete with real gambling for M&Ms) Rock Band. A bunch of friends brought over food, I made 3 pounds of Baked Ziti and Bruschetta. (Took me 7 hours since I make sauce and etc. from Scratch)



It's hard to imagine the size of that pan.. but it BARELY fit in my oven. 3 pounds of pasta, 4 pounds of meat (3 pounds meatball / 1 pound sausage) 7 cheeses. Sometimes I really let my Italian out Grandma would be proud.

I'm still eating that Ziti... it's almost gone. Though I made another (smaller) tray of it for my G/f's parent's. They love when I do that kind of stuff.

Phew... that's a long post!!! But I've been a busy man haha
