Maybe the mold in the cheese will be like a penicillin to me and burn out this gnarly firethroat thing I've got going on for the last couple of days. Can anyone say Cepacol? Yeah, I knew you could.
Anyway, since they went up a couple of days ago, I should probably get around to posting my Cheddar X for this week.
1. What does party mean to you? (I.e. when you go and get your party on, what does that mean?)
Its meant many things over the years but I think the most likely is just to get together with friends, maybe a BBQ going, a dog or two running around, drinking some beers, cocktails and/or wine until the wee hours of the morning that might or might not include a skinny dipping romp in the bay. Once the little sprogger is born though, I think party will come to mean silly hats, noise makers, birthday cakes and at least crying jag per party.
2. What was the first thing you thought or said when you saw your significant other for the first time?
"She's got a great smile" and "Damn, she's smaller than I thought."
3. Do you talk to yourself? Why?
All the time, partly because I am alone a fair amount of the time and don't have music in my truck or on my motorcycle, partly because I like the sound of my own voice and partly because I firmly believe that words gain power by being spoken aloud. And the snob in me wants to say that, by speaking to myself, I'm gauranteed at least one good conversation a day.
4. What's been your biggest personal change in the last ten years?
Maturation from a prickish youth into a reasonable adult. In the last fifteen years it would have to be the addition of around 40 pounds of muscle after leaving high school and no, I haven't ever and will never juice up.
5. What are you most looking forward to?
Right now, getting home tonight and laying down again because my head is pounding and fire throat barely describes the pleasures involved with swallowing.
Down the road, gotta be the pending birth of our first child. That's a little bit of a no-brainer. But there are lots of other things I'm jacked for, like the backyard landscaping, replacing the fence, putting in skylights, Pergo-ing the kitchen and maybe the entire downstairs and all those other home projects that will make the house a better place to live.
There's my Cheddar for the week, I'd be wittier or just plain ol' funnier but its hard to be humorous when it feels like the jackhammer being used outside is being used on the side of my skull.
I would expect that this weekend will be a pretty lowkey one for me, at least until I feel a little more human again.
