Grilltech and I have a bet going on about ten movies. We each pick five movies, which start between the dates of April 24th and September 6th. The goal is to make the most money opening weekend. Who ever wins, gets a nice present. It was randomly decided I got to pick the first movie. (He did it on his phone, so there was no chance of me cheating.)

Guess who has two thumbs and a sinus infection? Yip, me. Yesterday, I made it to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics to help me get better. I hope to be back soon and healthy.

It's also Jensen's birthday. Someone bought me some pie.
He might get lucky later tonight.....

List Day
- I counted six cars at the bar this morning
- I did meet all three of my goals for yesterday. Go me!
- Spent most of the day at HG's desk
- Ripped back a finger on the mitt, it was way to big
- W00t! I've got admin rights for the SQL server
- It's raining out there
- They brought couches and comfy chairs to put in front of our windows
- Not sure I'll make it to karate tonight
Goals?
It took two trips to the dentist yesterday, before my tooth was straightened out. First time was to have the filling replaced. The second time was to have the filling filed down, because it was sharp and pointy once the numbing agent wore off. It will take a couple of days for my mouth to heal up, because I managed to bite the hell out of it. Apparently I wasn't as careful as I thought. On the plus side, I'm able to chew gum again. So, I'm a happy camper.
I've got two goals for tonight: 1) sweep and mop 2) vacuum. Grilltech will be off teaching, so I'll have no reason to turn the TV on. Oops, better make that three goals: 3) practice.

An evening shot of down the street.

List Day
- I counted five cars at the bar this morning

Tuesday?
It's been a couple of days. Let me see if I can play catch up.
I came down with something. Not sure if it was the flu or a slight cold, but I was miserable. I'm feeling better, but I'm still not completely well. My sinus' are killing me.
Grilltech was a real sweetheart. He got me a box of truffles for Valentine's Day. I was totally surprised. I hadn't even given much thought about the holiday.
I've got 9 more valleys to fill on my blanket and this row will be done. I'm not sure yet if I want to put the blanket away for the season or start another row. I'll decide when I get there.
My hair has reached that stage of it's long enough to get in my eyes, but not long enough to pull back. So, I'm trying various things to get it out of the way.
Grilltech did brisket this weekend. He's pretty awesome. Next week we're have breakfast burritos.
I've started the fingers of the fingerless mitts. They're pretty close to be done. You know, just in time for summer.
It appears I'm very talented, I chipped my crown. Next week, the tooth next to it gets fixed and they'll round out the crown. I'm also getting a night guard. I've got a tendency to grind my teeth.
And that's what I've been doing. Thrilling, isn't it?

Down the street on a snowy morning.
Still making slippers. I have another pair on the needles, these ones will be mine.
A pair of fingerless mitts for Grilltech.
How much snow did we get last night? The roof of the pickup was clear.

List Day

I'm forgetting stuff...
I made chicken stock this weekend, so chicken soup had to follow. I've been thinking about cornbread, so our side dish was jalapeno cheddar cornbread. It turned out really good.
We've got plenty of snow. It's been cold enough, that it's sticking around. I've seen a couple of robins, huddled down against the freezing wind. I thought they didn't come back until mid February, but I was wrong. Speaking of birds, Fran - the Mighty Huntress - caught a finch. Grilltech says, if I wouldn't bait them, she wouldn’t be able to catch them.
Today after work we've got eye exams. I know I'm starting to get old. I have to take off my glasses to see up close. When working with size 1 needles, I pull the glasses down to the end of my nose and look over them. If I want to see the TV, I've got to look through them. I don't know if I'm to the point of needing bi-focal yet, but I will be getting new lenses.
We started watching Lost Girl last night. Made it through the first three episodes. It really reminds me of Harlequin Romance novel and TV doesn't really communicate a lot of the subtext. So, we're still on the fence about it.
My sweater is finished. I've worn it a couple of times. LOVE IT! The down side? The buttons are too small. I have the option of getting larger sized buttons that aren't as awesome or leaving them. I'm going with the latter, those buttons are totally awesome with the sweater.
