Because you're mine, I walk the line....

After work today, despite it being overcast, damp and a smidge cold, I decided to take a walk to the Post Office to mail my Christmas cards. Thanksfully the rain held off. With my iPod in my ears I made the ten minute walk there without trouble (yeah, I know, ten minutes aint much of a walk, but it's better than a ten minute sit on my fat ass on the couch).

I had 67 cards to mail. Of those, only 8 went to people in the town I live. Several went to people in surrounding, close areas. A number of them went to the Harrisburg - Hershey area. But also, they went to Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York City, New York state, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, California, Canada and even England!

I then walked to a local deli to get a few things. On the way I passed the local high school wreslting team out running. I know they were the wrestling team cause nearly every one of them wore sweatshirts or t-shirts saying. Plus, there were all hot, appeared to muscley and unfortunately, were all underage.

I walked through downtown Waynesboro, and while I do mock it for it's small towniness, they've really improved it recently. They've got brick sidewalks put in, a revamped town square, deocration on the new Victorian street lights...it actually does look nice than it used to.

So kudos to Waynesboro, for improving downtown, and kudos to me for taking a small walk. Oh, and kudos for joggin wrestlers...just cause.

Easily i'll not forget these gifts to me ...

As all of you should know by now, las Thursday was my birthday. On Friday, I recieved a gift in the mail, a gift that was quite possibly one of THE most original, awesome, unique birthday gifts I have ever recieved.

The gift was from the original, awesome and unique Michelle M. (and presumably Mr. Michelle M. [aka Harry] was invovled as well).

Upon opening the box, I found the following three things:


It's a Superman birthday card that played the theme from the Superman movie...in stereo(!), a folder with the cover of the first Adventures Of Superman comic book (which I have packed away in a box on the attic somewhere), and a JLA journal. She's knows I'm a fan of Superman. She might not have known I'm an even bigger fan of the Justice League Of America so the JLA journal was a perfect fit as well.

Underneath these was the following:


You may not be able to see, but that's quire a glittery bow she's got attached there. And I have no idea where Michelle M. got this paper as I have NEVER seen wrapping paper of the Superman S in black and gray! Amazing.

What was even MORE amazing was what I found inside!


It's not the best photo so you may not be able to see it very well (perhaps we can persuade Michelle M. to repost the original somewhere like Facebook), but it's DC Comics superhero action figure bodies with Puntabupeep heads!!!!

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know everyone's head, but I know most of them. I'm Superman and Michelle M. is Wonder Woman (of course!). Craiggers is Green Lantern, Tam is Power Girl. Having Josh and Enrico be the Wonder Twins is sheer brillance! David P. as Plastic Man seems very appropriate as he does all the bendy yoga and stuff. VUBOQ as the Flash, again appropriate due to the marathons he runs. Mel, the vet, is Animal Man. She even colored in Jere's head green to match The Martian Manhunter's green body.

I dont know how much time this took, but I can't imagine it was easy or quick. And that makes it all the more awesome, to know she took all the time to do it.

Just having Michelle M. as a friend of mine is probably the best birthday gift I could ever ask for!

what a day, what a day it was....

So what did I do today? When the alarm went off at 8:00, I just turned it off and stayed in bed, sleeping in until about 10:00. There was some putzing around online, and then a shower and off to mom's. She wanted to clean behind the washer and dryer, so I was the muscle moving them out so she could get behind them.

In the process of doing this, she disconnected the dryer vent going outside and couldn't get it back on. And since I was holding the dryer propped up against me and I couldn't really fit back where she was anyway, so I couldnt help her. She decided to just get a new vent and attachments.

Off to Lowe's we went to get them. Then to Wal-Mart for some crap I needed. Then we ate at a Chinese/American buffet place here in town. We both were full, but not stuffed, which is unusual for us when we eat there. We came home and spent a good 45 minutes with me holding the appliance and she fiddling with it before she got the vent back on. Finally.

I came back here and started watching football. While I did that, I got the 2011 Puntabulous Calendars all ready for mailing tomorrow...all 18 of them. Then I rolled up my loose coins for taking to the Credit Union when I go to mail the calendars. Then I got a list together of the December birthday/anniversary cards I'll need to buy when I'm mailing the calendars and at the Credit Union.

Then, still feeling industrious (no I don't know what got into me either) I cleaned the tub, the toilet and the sink. And I loaded up the dishwasher and ran it. Then i walked to a local store to buy a salad for supper.

Other than that, did little but watch football and fool around online. Yeah, I haven't a clue what hit me, but I wish it would hit me a little more often.

A Happy Thanksgiving Birthday....

So, how was my Thanksgiving Birthday?

I was attempting to sleep in, but wasn't really successful at it. I got up about 7:30 to use the bathroom and never really went back to sleep, even though I crawled back into bed. Then, about 8:45 or so, I got a text message. It was from Craiggers! He was wishing me a happy birthday and advised me to check out Cocky&Rude when I had the chance.

And really, though I'd LOVE to be awoken by Craiggers, I'd prefer it be in person as he rolls over to face me and give me a Happy Birthday kiss and comment on our awesomely Puntabulous sexual exploits together the night before. But if all I get is a text message, hey, I'll take what I can get.

So of course, I get outta bed, and get online and go right to Cocky&Rude. And seriously, if you haven't checked this out yet, you HAVE to do this right now. It cracks me the hell up, every freakin' time I see it. It's right HERE, go check it out now. I'll wait.

.......


See, it's that hiLARious!?! Thanks Adam and/or Mikey! How awesome to get birthday wishes on anothers blog, with accompanying videos!

So after I putzed around online for a bit doing nothing special, I showered, dressed, and headed up to mom's. We loaded up my car with the stuff she was cooking (a turkey, pie, cake, and few other assorted things), and went to pick up grandma.

She's using a cane now to get around, and she just looks....well older than she usually did. But hell, the woman's 87 years old and just two months ago, she had 8 inches of her colon, and the cancer therein, removed. So the fact she's getting around at ALL, I suppose is the thing to focus on!

Then I drove the three of us to a local community center. We do this bit every Thanksgiving. My granfather was the oldest of 7 kids, and every Thanksgiving, for as long as I can remember, and for many years before that, we rented out this community center and had a big family reunion. This year, it was kind of a light turnout. But it ended up there were about 40 people showed up. The usual amount is somewhere between 50-70.

You probably see as well as I intended, but here is the place right as we got there when there was only 5 of us there....



And this is the place right before we ate, when everyone was there and the food was put out and ready to eat....



At any rate, the food was, as usual, taste-bud explosingly delicious, and since I had two platefuls, I overstuffed myself. Somehow I still found time (and space inside my stomach) to have a small slice of pumpkin custard pie, two brownie halfs and two squares of some dessert that was delish, but I don't know what was in it.

I also had the honor of eating Thanksgiving with Justin Bieber! See?



Okay, actually it's my 14 year old cousin Trenton who, despite claiming to hate Justin Bierber, was sporting his hair. I saw him sitting at a table just listening to his iPod and not talking to anyone so I went up and said "I know why no one's talking to you. It's cause you have Justin BeeberBiberBoober hair. And no one likes that." Cool as a cucumber, he took the earbuds out, put the iPod on the table, looked straight at me and said, "I've had my hair like this before he did. And anyway, mine looks better." And I was shell shocked, cause Trenton has previously been rather quiet, espeically when I teased him. But for him to come up with that, well hell, I was impressed. And I told him so, shook his hand for coming with such a great retort, got up and left him laughin.

Although most of the rest of the day, whether just talking to him, or when we were on the same team for a card game, or when we were playing Yatzee, I still harassed him: calling BeeberBiberBoober, or Justin, or saying you're not getting good rolls cause your hair keeps getting in the way, that kinda stuff. And he laughed most of it off, although he did get some comebacks in. And we had a great time. He is a good kid.

So following all this, and dropping both grandma and mom at their respective homes, I came home myself. I sat down to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the New Orleans Saints. And even though Dallas lost, which sucks, they still played pretty damn awesomely, much better than they did just a few weeks ago. And that's all the matters.

And while watching the game, I prepared and sealed up my Christmas cards. This is my annual Thanksgiving tradition. And this year, I did all 66 of them before the game was over. Now, I just have to get to the Post Office (probably Monday) to get Christmas stamps and I can get them in the mail, either the 30th, or December 1st. Yeah, I'm usually late with sending birthday/anniversay cards, but I'm ALWAYS the first Christmas card everyone gets each year!

So once the game was over, I made a sandwich of leftover turkey (mmmm) for a late supper. And then I got on here and made this post.

I got 8 birthday cards (although I figure some more will arrive tomorrow), I got sung to at the Thanksgiving meal, I got over 30 Facebook birthday wishes, I got a few presents, and mom's making me my request Boston Creme Birthday Pie tomorrow! So as both a birthday and the Thanksgiving holiday, it was a pretty spiffy day.

I'll be going to bed here before long because a) I'm a year older now, and we old farts aren't supposed to stay up late and b) I'm getting up tomorrow and spending a good portion of the day with A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking (which will be awesomeness itself).

POLT

With every breath i take i will give thanks...

So I hope everyone is out there celebrating this great momentous holiday with their families! After all, everyone SHOULD want to celebrate my 43rd birthday, right??????

And while you're at it, feel free to cook up some bird and have a bunch of side dishes and share the day with your family, if you feel like it. Whatever.

Be you a pride-ful Pilgrim...


Or a slutty, skantily clad Indian....


Enjoy the buffet laid out on the table before you....


Good luck with the wishbone....


And everyone have yourselves a Happy Thanksgiving! (even those silly Canadians aomngst us who have their Thanksgiving a month early!)

A disappointed little birthday child although your presents...

Well tomorrow is my birthday (43rd, thanks for asking) and now I've let you know before you read it on Facebook.

The wonderful, selfless, thoughtful FDot apparently already knew that because today I received a gift box from him. Not only did it have a nifty card with a hot shirtless guy on the front, but inside also were two, not one, but TWO Superman T-Shirts, and a little button saying something about "Have sex with me right now!" Which is a pleasant sentiment, but totally unnecessary, cause really, I don't need a button to accomplish that goal. Generally.


As you can see above, FDot's birthday gifts ROCK! I'd even go so far as to say they're simply sexily super!

Are you ready for some football (Week 11)...

This week in the NFL went mostly my way. The team I picked in the Loser Pool, the Seattle Seahawks, lost, so I'm still in the running for $270. And of the 27 that started last week, only 16 remain, so that's good news.

In less monetary, but more personal, success the Dallas Cowboys won, their second game in a row and the third overall. Some attribute the wins to the firing of Wade Phillips as coach and the hiring of Jason Garrett as interum head coach. I however think it's another reason:


I've wore this shirt both times the Cowboys won the last two weeks. So of course, that has to be why they've won. What other practical, logical reason could there be?

The only downside of the week was that the Deadskins won, but just barely and in overtime. Still, as long as I'm still in the Loser Pool and Dallas wins, I can handle a 'Skins win.

Sulfuric acid, so clogged in a pine box...

Clog is no longer clogged!

Yay!

Toilet can be flushed, teeth can be brushed, face can be shaved, showers can be taken, hands can be washed, clothes can be washed. AND, when he was here, the plumber also looked at the dishwasher. He ran it through a few cycles and didn't notice any water leaking into the basement, has no idea where that water may have come from. So right now I'm running the dishwasher and I'll check it out and see what's up with it.

As an unpleasant aside, I was so worried late last night that I might to poop overnight that I've apparently given myself constipation. Oh fun, oh joy. I drank some Metamucil, we'll see....how it all comes out....in the end. *snicker*
