We're half way through January!


I just wanted to cheer you up. I mean, it's almost spring, really.
We're half-way through one of the darkest months.

And just in case you made a New Year's resolution to not gain any weight, and you have maybe not taken any steps to make that happen, remember that you're very attractive, just as you are.

But if small planets start revolving around you, it is time to do something about it. Buy an acre out in the country, build an addition to the house, you know, be pro-active about it.

I know I was doing the "What I learned today" thing on my blog, but what I learned today is a secret. Hoss would say that comes under the heading of "too bad." That Hoss.

Dang! I was hoping no one would notice that asteroid that got caught by my gravitational pull...

I am good at keeping secrets. Really. Tell me. I will only tell my blog readers and they won't tell. Oh and my mother, cause I could never keep a secret from her. Well, and my sister Ka cause she and I don't have secrets. My new neighbor, I must tell her because we are trying to bond and I want to get that trust thing going. My assistant because her and I can't really have secrets between us and still work as a team. The asian guy at 7-11 but he can't understand english that well anyway. But I promise, That would be it. So email me,,k?

Okay. What I learned yesterday is that it was only 18 days until Groundhog's Day. So today, Monday, January 16, there are 17 days left until Groundhog's Day.

Niks and I have always wanted to go to see Punxsutawney Phil predict the end of winter. So today I'm busy trying to make arrangements for that. I needed to talk to him about it before I started sayin' that we were going.

When I say that we "always" wanted to go, I mean that it all started with the movie, "Groundhog Day."

Fred said...

That should be a fun trip. Does that mean we'll see you on TV?

Lucy, I have been by a few times and always crack up. Today I came by via Christine the "tag" queen. I was looking through your archives and last week Dick Cheney and I had the same HNT pose. ( www.freethinkingboo.com )I may have to "borrow" your pic of Dicky for the comparison.

Oh my god. it's the 16th already? and I still haven't made any resolutions! Shoot.

BarbaraFromCalifornia said...

Oh gee...It is nice to be reminded!! My diet is not working.

Are you reading my mind or something. My plan on making my pile is on my blog - today. Ha Ha..

I think i'll need plan b, c, d

Still time though.

It isn't either secret. You got it from somebody, so that makes two of you who know. So might as well let your pals in on it. Please? I won't tell anybody.

(Watch this, guys. She is a sucker for people who beg.)

Mikki Marshall said...

That sounds like a perfect vacation, you definitely need to work on that. I'm just concerned that you might not make it back in order to tell us about it. I mean what if you get stuck in "today" and tomorrow never comes. Because yesterday today was tomorrow.

Logophile said...

I haven't got any planets yet but you should see the size of the ASSteroid following me around!
My MIL is in PA and has gone to see Phil several times, even before the movie. She says it is good fun.

Tom & Icy said...

I hope spring gets here quick!

Minka said...

How long has Phil lived now? That must be some kinda record for a groundhog!

mr ratburn said...

..or we could buy a hula hoop and pretend that we are Saturn!

S said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog, TLP! I still think this is one of the best blog names ever!

Bsoholic said...

This month sure is flying by. Crazy really.

Jamie Dawn said...

Groundhog day is such a good flick.

I have been doing very well staying on my diet. Why can't New Year's resolutions be easy? Next year, mine is gonna be to breathe each day.

Bela said...

The fact that we're halfway through January depresses me somewhat. I try not to wish my life away so I can wait for spring.

I used to be good at keeping secrets...

kenju said...

I think I have a moon now, but no planets yet. It is just a matter of time, however.

Ivy the Goober said...

Hey, I'm pretty attractive, just like your cartoon lady. :)

Anonymous said...

Well darn it. I guess I USED to be attractive. Phooey. :)

January is not a dark month. Today the sun was out, and it was a crisp 75 degrees outside.

Lucy Stern said...

I'm actually sticking to the diet. I can feel a difference in my clothes.

SavtaDotty said...

I'm very good about keeping secrets because I forget them right away. I hope you remember that.
