Hello December, Goodbye Hurricane Season

It's been a busy few weeks for me so I apologize for seemingly being absent.  A couple of weeks back I broke a rib and with the Thanksgiving holiday showing up immediately after, I decided to lay low, get some rest, and attempt to speed up the healing process.  Good news is I'm beginning to feel a little relief.  Bad news is it still hurts like hell.  Doc says to keep the ibuprofen input around 2000mg/day so that's what I'm doing.  Enough about me!

I sincerely hope all of my readers had a spectacular Thanksgiving.  Comment and let us know what you did, where you went, and if something unique, what'd ya' eat?  I'm always on the lookout for a new traditional item to add to the buffet on Turkey Day so bring on your thoughts.

Like many of you I'm sure, I can't believe it's December already.  The last couple of months have really flown by.  But, this day always makes me happy as the Floridian in me loves to see an end come to Hurricane Season.  This year was among the worst I believe our Country has ever experienced and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ecstatic to see the season end.  Thankfully, none of those closest to me fell victim to the horrific storms from this past year.  That said, I hope the same can be said for you guys!  Natural disasters just plain suck!

Once again I apologize for my absence.  I'll be watching the hot deals closely over the next couple of weeks and I'll be sure to share the best of the best of my deal-hunting scores.  So, keep your eye on the blog.  For now, check out XBOX Live's Games with Gold December deals (linky on the right) and pick up a free game or two.

Lastly, if you're bored this weekend, feel free to check out My Mixer Stream as I'll be doing some more gaming in support of Extra Life For Kids!  As always, your support is very much appreciated.  And if you drop into the stream, make sure you say hi in the chat!

Peace and Love all you awesome peeps,
Your Friendly Neighborhood LzzrdBoy
