Par for the course

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere about one of Murphy’s Laws being something along the lines of: on your extended holiday weekend, you’ll spend the last day of it sick. I started feeling a little ill last night, sore throat, headache and grogginess mainly. I woke up this morning with my throat feeling like I had just swallowed a cup of shag carpeting and broken glass bits.

Sounds yummy, doesn’t it? Sounds like a job for Green Death! ugh…

So today I’m hoarse and feeling pretty much like death warmed over. Jess and I are sitting here watching Dirty Jobs. I think I’m gonna go lie down in a bit, I feel absolutely horrid.

If anyone sees that Murphy guy, let me know — I’m so gonna kick his ass.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year. We have been pretty lazy this year and have stayed home watching football, eating, and cooking — just not necessarily in that order. ;)

Jess and I are enjoying the Dirty Jobs marathon, and I thought this would be a perfect time to make my first post of the new year.

I snagged this meme from Jo and am a little amused by its results:

If you want to do this one, too, all you have to do is go to your archives from the year and post the first sentence of your first post for each month. Fun, huh?

January: Which Of The Greek Gods Are You?

February: Had a busy busy weekend!

March: Jim gave me a funny look the other night because I started “talking houses again.”

April: I had spoken to The Daring Dufus earlier today (btw, Mara, Hans, “2600 et. al.” he says ‘hi’!) and we got on the subject of RSS feeds and newsgroups and the like.

May: Had a busy day yesterday … two interviews, pretty much back-to-back, on two opposite sides of town.

June: I’ve been having really vivid dreams lately … when I do sleep that is.

July: Just an FYI in case those interested didn’t read the comments on my last post, I’ve uploaded my Helio Ocean wallpapers.

August: I smurfed this one from dear ole Cookie.

September: Holy schnike, has it really been almost a week since I’ve last posted?

October: Only 12 more days — and yet my “to do” list is still over 50 items long.

November: I’ve been browsing the Heliocity forums, trying to catch up on everything I’ve missed — and it seems there’s a LOT!

December: I’ve been out sick since last Thursday.
