9572 – Tuesday

Still pretty darned psyched about going to see Punxatawney Phil on my B’day. I am concerned a bit about the weather, though. Last year, it was 27 degrees, not horrid, but pretty dang cold.

It’s been snowing there all this week, and it’s only going to get chillier!

We should stock up the love cube with some hot cocoa, cider, and plenty of blankets, too. Oh, and plenty of Polka Music for the 5 hour drive. 🙂

Using one word for each letter of the alphabet, make a list of the words you most associate with yourself or that you feel best describe you.

Best? I’ll just go with first that comes to mind. Maybe I’ll come back and fill in more detail – maybe not.

Allison – my love.
Barefoot
Creaky – Back, hip, jaw… a little work around the joints would be nice.
Determined – not much of a quitter here.
Eyesight – one of my better physical traits, at least as far as viewing the surface of things. No x-ray vision, sadly.
Food – When food is prepared to my liking, I get a sense of comfort. BHK is an amazing cook. MD has far better food than FL, too.
Goofy
Helpful
Intelligent
Journal-y
Kind
Large. (I’m fairly close to Bluto‘s not as mean Twin – tall and overweight both)
Monkeys!
Newton
Orcs
Pyewacket
Queries (both SQL, and everyday life)
Reading
Sleepy 
Telephone-hater
Ubuntu
Vegetarian – (Not too severe – I’ll do eggs/diary, and the occasional sea creature with more than 4 legs)
Wombat
Xorn. Why? Because I have a soft spot in my heart for tripod creatures… the mouth-on-top eating precious metals and gems is a bonus. What was I going to say? X-ray? Xylophone? I nearly went with XXXL, but I figure it’s covered at L.
Yeti
Zombies (though they are getting a trifle passe’)

9571 – Monday

Back to Work! Didn’t kill the beard for now, but it’s still pretty close to the face. Not quite the "wild man from borneo"

I think I bit my lip while sleeping the other night – probably the ear thing again. Pain is mostly gone now, just a little irritant here and again.

Looks like snow outside – very gray day.

My jaw still looks a little out of whack and swollen… but it’s a lot better than before.

After work, BHK and I had Chinese food with In-laws, and discussed birthday plans for me – BHK has an idea for us to go to Puxatawney, PA for Groundhog’s day –

a few links for me to peruse before the trip – http://www.punxsutawney.com/calendar/ and http://www.groundhog.org

It’ll be the 123rd anniversary of the event – and my first time there, though I’ve wanted to go for some time.

Item of note – Phil’s Birthday Celebration, Punxsutawney Community Center, Peterson Room, Come and celebrate your February 2nd birthday Phil’s way. Cake and punch served. Free gift with proof of birth date.
