As for president’s day, I certainly prefer the original “George W” to the one currently in office.
Ah, the blessing of a Monday off. Added bonus is a hopefully more gentle 4-day week ahead!
Got up, went to get shots… it was pretty crowded due to the holiday. BHK and I both got our appointments out of the way in a reasonable span of time. I’m about 75% through the third Harry Dresden book. It started out a bit weak, but has gained a nice…
Woke up bright and early, rip-roarin’ and ready to roll. BHK and I had a tasty start of toasted bagels with cream cheese, and chugga-chugga-chugga.
After getting the parents, it was about… 11ish. Well, we didn’t lose too much steam – the in-laws were loaded for bear (girl scout cookies, soda-pop, and egg sammiches) we rolled out to our destination… Baltimore!
It was a bit of a drive, but the scenery was lovely, and the company was good… we all chitty-chatted about all manner of small…
spent the bulk of the day indoors with tv and the kitties – bhk a little sick, my back was creaky. Nice day to stay in, relax, and not wear shoes all day.
Watched The Soup, Redneck weddings and read books the whole day away. A nice way to recharge after yesterday’s long-term walkies.
Tree-trimmer guys came back and hammered down the bridge part they knocked over – and finished trimming and proper cleanup.
Jumper’s getting quite the stinky reviews. Maybe we’ll just wait and catch…
BHK got me a bag of creme de menthe Hershey’s kisses. A large quantity of them currently reside in my Jonas Green Skull and Crossbones mug.
(Green was a troublemaker. He hated the Stamp Act, which among other things directly taxed his newspaper. Refusing to pay, he halted publication of his paper with the protest headline “The Maryland Gazette Expiring: In Uncertain Hopes of a Resurrection to life again.”
In the bottom right corner, he placed a skull and crossbones where the tax stamp…
Got a lovely Kermit the frog card from BHK. Words can’t even begin to describe how much love I have for her. I hold her dearly in my heart. She makes every day a valentiney sort of day. Hard to get too worked up about a day that’s all about love and affection when I’m immersed in it all the time.
That’s a good thing!
As ol’ Bill Shakespeare put it,
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,

I need to call Val and wish her a good b’day… also the mom-in-law’s birthday. We went to Mama Lucia’s, and then back to headquarters for cake and gifts. She got Becoming Jane, the Jane Austen Book Club, a box of girl scout trefoils, and a load of mushy cards.
Power went out this morning, but was back on by 6ish. Lots of high winds and cold… another ice storm on the way late tonight? The roads weren’t as bad tonight as yesterday.

Just realized that I never got a call from my bro on my birthday. I haven’t heard from him at all since his phone was reconnected. I hope he’s doing ok… I imagine that he is.
Watched Hellboy: Sword of Souls over dinner of corn dogs and tater tots! nom nom nom. The movie was just ok…. I like good ol’ Hellboy and Co, but it seemed too rushed and way too much time on the pyrokinetic’s whining about “blah blah it’ll overtake me blah”. If they’d just kept it a bit lighter, I’d have…

Big wins of the day – I had a leftover birthday macaroon tupperware-sealed in my desk in the office! Nice treat for mid-afternoon.. still moist and delicious. Added bonus, going out for Monday night half-price falafel night after work with BHK and the in-laws – with special guest Adam!
Adam seems to be adjusting to living in an apartment near campus quite nicely… better place than I had in school, for sure… private bedroom with a private bathroom. I think he’s adapting to a land full of…
