Back to work! Light dusting of big fat flakes of powdery snow which was pretty in the morning, but melted away before noon came.

Larry and Chris came over for dinner of potluck leftovers – and made fresh hot dogs. Well, it was nice having them over, in any event!

BHK is worried about neighborhood kitty – she’s already named it Priscilla. I think Pris will be ok – she’s very healthy and clean… If we keep seeing her, we’ll make her a little bed and give her some food.

Just some nutshelling – Let’s see:

Trimmed back down to goatee.

Wasn’t feeling too well today. Got up at 8, went back to bed at noon, slept until 2.

BHK and I stayed in most of the day, save for a trip to the library and then to Roland’s to get spaghetti for tonight’s dinner. (Which was super tasty)

Chris was a bachelorette tonight, so she came over had dinner and watched NCIS with us.

After she left, we watched some Mr. Meaty left over from the marathon on Nick a week ago – The show consistently gets a good laugh or two our of me every time.

Speaking of TV – I forgot to mention that we watched the Superbowl – actually quite a good game – I really loved that 100yd snatch and grab. BHK and I still prefer the Puppy Bowl (and the kitten halftime show).

– another meme – pass it around if you want! I’m interested in what other people put. I think I found it first via Kat, or maybe Misti

Went to The Narrows with the in-laws and BHK for birthday lunch. Crab cake was great, possibly the best I’ve had – and the desserts were fantastic.

White chocolate mousse in a dark chocolate bag – Butterfly and raspberry sauce.

Bread pudding… seems awful fancy for a simple treat!

Also, taken yesterday – looks like the 80s are back in fashion, at least at Target.

We picked up my EEE at target too and upon finding it was the version with less memory and no camera, took it back today. I ordered the 904HA online (in black), due to arrive on or about 2/9 – the new one will have better battery life and the goodies I was hoping for.]

Was feeling pretty sick on the ride home – I went to bed at about 5 pm, woke up a little while ago, but will be going back to sleep soon.

Had to get up extra early this morning, to be sure I could make it in to work on time. Snow has melted to form extra-scary and slick ice on the roads and sidewalks outside.

The replacement Clie I got back in march died – bidding for a new one on ebay. I’ll have to make a point to recover my old data – shouldn’t be a problem, since I last backed it up a day or two ago. The only hassle will be re-installing my 3rd party stuff. Astronomer, isilo reader, and tealpaint are really the only items I’ll want back right away. If those bids don’t go through, I may look into a Nokia N810 or possibly a Asus EEE for the same cost as a Birthday Prezzie to myself.

Not a great day today, but tomorrow will be better. Off to a rough start, and a really rough time at work about 4pm. BHK collected more estimates on the Love Cube’s repair, and remains doubtful that insurance will pay the bill. Chris is looking into options on her side of things.

BHK made calzones – her first attempt, and they were delicious. (Mine had broccoli, veggie meatballs, and assorted cheeses in there). Technically, I guess they were stromboli, as she put a little sauce inside the dough, but not a huge amount. I still had some on the side to dip into.

We watched the first half of the Heartbreak Kid, and now we’re calling it a night.

Until later, dear journal.

Fasted since 8pm last night through this morning – got my sonogram done, but I have to reschedule my upper GI. I got copies for myself, may photograph ’em, and show images of my spleen / liver and assorted guts as shown by echo. The technician was unimpressed when I asked if I was having a boy or a girl…. probably has heard it a million times.

Possible issues could be gastritis, ulcer, gallstones, kidney stones, or the all-encompassing "OTHER".

BHK made some scones – blueberry/ginger and maple/oatmeal/pecan. Both were quite good, but contrary to my usual, I’ll have to go with the maple being just slightly superior to the blueberry ones.

Spent part of the day playing Fallout 3 on the PC, and BHK played more Boom Blox on the Wii.

The Element has some issues – likely due to the tree falling on it back in June. It seems that the Frame is bent, and that’s causing a lot of wear on the tires. instead of being | | they skew slightly like this / . Insurance is resistant to taking care of it, since it’s been a while, but we’re trying to get it ironed out – looks like about $1000 to $3000 to repair, so I may not be going to Punxy next weekend – Due to both the cost, and the time it will take to repair the love cube.

The in-laws took us out to Selby bay – I’m still eating light, but I could do a 1/2 veggie sub and fries.

I forgot to mention that the grocery lady Patricia asked me where my "nutty wife" was – BHK got a kick out of it, and I’m starting to be recognized a bit by the locals after having been in the region for two years and change. It doesn’t hurt to have a charismatic and outspoken wife, either.

Well, the stars were out of alignment this morning – 7 degrees to start, and the ground was frozen an inch thick.

BHK and I slept in a bit, and then I hopped into the shower, to get ready for my appointment at the MVA to get my license – turned on the water and… nothing came out of the nozzle.

It turns out that water solidifies, or "freezes" at certain cold temperatures – sort of like those little cubes you put in drinks to cool lemonade on a hot day.

Water can also freeze in pipes, as well as cube trays, it seems. Lacking water, and the desire to rush to a neighbor or in-laws to bather properly, I opted to instead go another day – Tuesday might be good, given that I have the day off, an everyone will be in DC that day for the inauguration. If they’re open, I’ll visit. I know they’re closed on Monday – MLK day shuts it down.

The neighbors were helpful, offered a torch to melt the ice in the pipes, but we figured we’d wait it out and see.

The in-laws came over, and we assessed the situation – it turns out the water came back at about 11am – so BHK made pancakes for everyone, and I scrubbed up in the now-working shower.

After that, we went outside, and surrounded the drafty parts of the house, and pipe areas with insulation (that’s how I know the ground was frozen, and how deep). It seems that the bedroom is benefiting most, upping in temp a few degrees already.

After that, BHK, in-laws, and I watched The Namesake -I liked it a lot – after the in-laws left, BHK and I continued with the The Darjeeling Limited, also pretty good – (I still Prefer The Life Aquatic, but it’s a good second to that Anderson film)

Now, it’s time for bedski.

Chris’s Merto car conked out – (re-parked with the ignition on) BHK got her from the metro prior to my pickup. She couldn’t reach Larry – his cellpohne was turned off. As a result, Chris came with us to dinner with Tina, at Mexico.

Supper was good, we all chit-chatted a bit – Tina’s going to the inauguration – I’m passing – too crowded and mobby for me. Best to just stay home and enjoy coverage via the news while I relax in my jammies.

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

Farewell, 2008! It was a pretty nice time, all told.

In attendance to watch the ball drop (and play some Arkham horror, Witch Trial, If Wishes were fishes, Easter Island, etc)

[edit – I won Easter Island, Either Amy or BHK won Witch Trial(I have since forgotten) , Nobody won Arkham Horror(AIEE!), and Shaun won If Wishes Were Fishes.]

BHK, the in-laws, Shaun W, and Amy all made it to hang out, eat snacks, and stay up until the extra :60 rolls over.

until I recap more, have some spooky christmas decoration photos taken up the street.

Newt and Pye have been together for 2 years now. They’ve blended well. They aren’t too aggressive with one another, though they do play rough.

Got an earache last night, I think it’s an infection via the crown. Contacted Dr. Wolf, we’ll see what he advises.

Went to the in-laws this morning (well, about noontime) for some Breakfast – Larry Poached some eggs, and grilled up some bacon, Chris made crab salad. All served on Xmas English muffins. (Do they call muffins something else in England, and "English muffins" just muffins?)

After eating, we watched Superhero move and I got a call from the Momster – our holiday goodies arrived in her mailbox yesterday. Superhero Movie was Basically a parody of Spider-man, plus a few cameos and Leslie Neilson nonsense.

Larry showed me how to make Preacher cookies – chocolate/oatmeal goodies, with no flour in ’em. Closer to Fudge than a cookie, really.

Good stuff – I’ve got to practice making these, I think… they’re easy, but are good eats.

BHK and I headed home early for some rest – watch some old Christmas episodes of night Court and Wings – I pretty much just Vegged out all weekend.

I’m looking forward to a nice long winter’s nap after Tuesday – Vacation (but on-call) from 12/24-01/04!

A few items need to be worked on – biggest ones are file comparing encryption, getting a slacker customer to get on the new system from the old (before the old shuts down totally)  and a system map of our network that is up to date.

Maybe a little vitamin B-12 will pick me up. Until later, dear journal!

Got my allergy shots – down to only needing them every other week, now!

Still feeling yucky – took a nap today from 3-6 pm, and my crown feels a little loose. Maybe an infection under there is messing with me? Or maybe it’s the big dose of meds today.

In-laws came over, and we had tasty soup and sammiches. I’m still not eating much, but can certainly enjoy what I am eating.

After eats, we finally finished hanging the ornaments on the tree. All that is left now is to set up the train… and maybe a few fun bits of landscape. The green beaded string didn’t show up too well on the tree this year, so we strung our holiday cards over the living room window, and it looks sharp. I think we may do this in years to come.

The in-laws headed home a little while ago – they stopped out front of our house with the engine running, and called inside to let us know that Chris lost an earring – while we were looking for it, BHK heard yelling on the phone – it turns out a pedestrian walked up to the truck, opened the door, and then took off when Larry yelled at him.

Chris and Larry went home, but BHK got the guys description and called the police. I suspect it was a drunk looking for a ride – that’s still not the sort of thing you want to take place in your front yard. We talked to the sheriff, and they sent prowl cars around, but he didn’t turn up.

[EDIT – Later that evening, just up the street (about 5 blocks closer to the bay) –

"Dep. Daniel Deakins investigated a burglary to Nice and Fleazy Antiques on Bay Ave in North Beach on December 19 at 3:27 a.m. The unknown suspect(s) cause $1125 in damage. The business owner is conducting an inventory to determine exactly what was taken. Inquires regarding this burglary should be directed to Lt. Steven R. Jones at 410-535-1600 ext. 2462."


I wonder if it was the same guy?]

We also got a nativity set at the same time we picked up the tree.

our nativity set. Bears, and etc.

Bears! View full size for maximum effect. We added some other items to the scene – Pye and Newton had to be there, and it spiraled out from there.

We went over to the in-laws for pancake breakfast after sleeping in nicely this morning. I had a bit of an allergy attack, had to head home – did some work-work stuff, folded some laundry and put lights on the tree while BHK did household work and made use quiche with cheese, veggie sausage and green peas… and some veggie sausage-biscuit balls, too. *VERY* tasty and hearty fare. The in-laws came over too, and we just hung out and chitty-chatted – watched some old episodes of Newheart and the Honeymooners on WGN –  The in-laws are out the door now, and BHK is sleeping on my lap… but now it’s time for bed.

It’s here! Minimum of muss and fuss. Shaun had his tree picked out and cut down before I even got there.

We introduced Shaun to "Crabs for Christmas", and a good time was had by all. After getting the tree up, we paused for some Chinese food – some of the best I’ve had. I think the secret to little panda is to not go on Sunday – I suspect that the regular cook takes that day off.

I was very fortunate that Larry brought his own saw – the one provided wasn’t up to snuff.

BHK figured out a good place for the tree, the far side of the living room. Traffic shouldn’t be too much of a problem there, and it smells so good!

Easy getting this year – measured twice, cut once – and then cut again when we got home, to fit and make fresh for water.

S6302737

We got our tree. Not decorated yet, but I rather like it unadorned at the moment.

BHK, the in-laws and I watched "Love, Actually" and by that time, it was too late to hang lights or ornaments, which is fine by me!
