Googly eyes again. This time in Dunkirk,  MD

Server liked them, I suspect they will remain a while.

I am totally amazed at the power and glory of googly eyes.

Plaza Azteca on 2/3/2014.

I fear many googly pix in my future.

Meanwhile, built lego models today and watched Korean drama. Dashed to mama Lucia for supper. Allison and her mom split stuffed lobster, while Larry and I shared a pizza.

Got home, opened a lovely card from Danny, and we all watched Nashville 2.0, a show about the Americana genre of music. Found a few new bands to follow, too.

Pyewacket ear during Milford and sons segment.

Pyewacket preferring to lounge facing me and just enjoy the Carolina chocolate drops

Orange cake with chocolate frosting. Very yummy.

Veggie roast, carrots, baked potato, salad were all delicious.

Birthday loot was mostly amazon (from mom and Wilton and the Amazon fair)y. $200 before cashing in the change bucket. I also got hyperbole and a half, why grizzly bears should wear underwear. On ps3 – Chapter 2 of walking dead, minecraft, and doki loki universe (especially enjoyed by Allison and me so far.) In the analog world a pair of cute lego sets. One a cake topper, the other from the upcoming movie with a snail and a kittycorn.

Additional green from in-laws as a check, plus favorite snacks:
Port wine cheese, cheese-its,  wheat thins, bugles, homemade blueberry breakfast bread.

Started the day with kitten bowl, and then think I pulled a muscle in my lower left back. Took a hot shower , but no relief, so I slept for about 3 hours, missed the puppy bowl for the first time in years.

Headed to in-laws for above, and enjoyed lovely dinner, and an unfortunate super bowl. At nine we switched over to Downton Abbey, followed by an excellent episode of Sherlock.

Nice day for me overall. Thankful for all the kind wishes and words from friends and family, calls, email , Twitter and facebook.

And now I’m 45.

Ta-daa!
