I’m back at work. I took a sick day yesterday because I was feeling headachy and lethargic and gross. I’m doing better today, thanks.

Due to the immense awesomeness of the geotracking thingy I included in my last post, I have decided to make it a permanent fixture (see sidebar). It’s so interesting to see all the places around the world from which people are visiting my site. Japan, Germany, the Canary Islands, Venezuela, Iran…it’s really amazing. Now I feel like I need to write things that are more interesting to a global audience. I bet I’m never going to have a hit from China, since my site is probably blocked there. I swear too much.

We had a nice weekend. On Saturday I made two snowmen. I was originally just going to make one snowman, so I made a giant ball of snow to be the base. Then I made another ball of snow to be the middle part, but I rolled it too far away from the original ball. By the time I rolled it to the right spot, it had accumulated so much snow that it was too huge to lift. Hence, two snowmen. I decided to make them very chummy and romantic, so I had them put their arms around each other. The snow was too heavy to support itself, so I used a stick as a structural mechanism. They looked very cute. Denny took a picture, but I haven’t seen that one yet.

Then it got warm.

Poor Snowy’s head fell off, as well as the arm that was extending out to go around Flakey. Flakey remains mostly intact, except now it looks like he’s holding a stick and stabbing poor, beheaded Snowy with it. It’s really pretty gruesome.

Luckily, my parents came to visit and help us get a Christmas tree on Sunday. They have a van and friendly dispositions, so we’re always happy to have them on this journey. We got a very nice, chubby tree.

Denny hugged me, which made me feel better about my friendly-turned-violent snowmen. Stupid Flakey. I should have known he was going to turn out mean when I included so much yellow snow in him.

Thanks to Dad for the images.
