January 2009

Remember on the twentieth I wrote that I’d missed the inauguration and hoped I’d get to watch it on DVR?
Well, today I did watch.
I taped six hours of NBC’s coverage: from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I’m now starting hour five. The President hasn’t yet left the Capitol after lunch, but the parade has [...]

In November, Ed got a Christmas tree kit for $1 at Target. It came with a pot, some soil and a few pine tree seeds.
He carefully planted the seeds…

…and put the pot in our kitchen window.
Several weeks later, we had two seedlings, which I was too busy doing lots of important stuff too lazy to [...]

A REAL pain in his neck

Fox is hurt.
Again.
He was in the fight in November. At the beginning of January, we thought he’d pulled a muscle, but he recovered after a few days, so we never took him to the vet.
Yesterday he started moving slowly again, and Ed said he was worse by late this afternoon, so we took him to [...]

I got two haircuts last weekend.
This was the result of second cut.

MUCH better than the first one, don’t you think?

Today, my employer graciously set up a computer and projector in a conference room, so we could watch the U.S. presidential inauguration via streaming video as we ate lunch.
As noon, the hour for the swearing in of Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama, approached, quite a few of my coworkers were in the [...]

MckMama started this cool weekly carnival called Not me! Monday a few months ago. The idea is that confession is good for the soul and that you share things that you did NOT do. ;)
I LOVE Not me! Monday, but I’ve never participated. Until Monday when I felt really sheepish when I did [...]

Ed, wearing Toby’s sweater to keep his head warm. :)

It’s still cold here, and hats are in short supply this far south.
(Ed asked when I was going to do PhotoHunt again. See if he does that again any time soon. Heh.)
Join the PhotoHunt!

The high today in Atlanta was between 30 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on where you were and who you asked. The low was somewhere between 6 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, again depending on where you were and who you asked. :)
Days this cold in Atlanta are RARE! A couple of school systems closed today [...]

6:09 p.m. and still a wee bit of light out there.
It had been MONTHS since I’d gotten home from an after-work trip to the gym with a bit of daylight still in evidence.
HOORAY!
The slowly lengthening days are helping my mood.
HOORAY!
Spring is COMING!
HOORAY!
Happy, happy, happy dance. :)

A very important day…

No, it’s not the U.S. presidential inauguration. That’s NEXT Tuesday.
The excitement for today?

American Idol is back tonight. WHOO HOO! I am so excited!
It’s incredibly silly, but I can’t help myself.
Do you watch “American Idol”? If not, is there a show that you count a “guilty pleasure,” like I consider “Amerian Idol”? Do tell!
