Don’t lose your wallet. Ugh.

Janene and I went up to “Brighton Ski Resort”:http://www.skibrighton.com on a crisp Sunday afternoon a couple weeks ago along with a good friend of ours who is an excellent photographer. Our mission: capture some cute photos for use in our wedding announcements.

Without further ado, I present “the engagement photos”:http://www.janeneday.com.

So I stopped by one of those little mobile phone kiosks in the mall last night to ask for directions to the bathroom. Out of curiosity I also asked if they had heard of the new “Treo 650”:http://www.palmone.com/us/products/smartphones/treo650/ or knew when it would be available from them (as far as I know only Sprint carries it now, and it’s only on pre-order).

I underwent my very first surgery this afternoon. The observant reader will recall this was supposed to happen “nearly a month ago”:http://joeyday.com/2004/09/28/under-the-knife. I couldn’t get October 12 off work at ContentWatch, so in early October I rescheduled the surgery to today. I’ve been meaning to edit that post but never got around to it.

I’m not so sure motion sensor lights in bathrooms are a good idea.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had frequent and long-lasting nosebleeds, always from the left nostril. Since I lived in Kentucky, I’ve also had mild allergies. In the last four or five years I can’t remember having a cold without being sick for at least three weeks — I usually develop a sinus infection from the congestion.

My “Otorhinolaryngologist”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otorhinolaryngologist (ear, nose & throat) is pretty sure that these symptoms are due to a deviated nasal septum, and has recommended surgery (i.e. “septoplasty”:http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/uf6156.asp) to correct the problem.

A bunch of people have asked me lately, “Why haven’t you posted anything about [insert recent personal event here]?” The reason is that when I combined my two blogs back on September 25, 2003, I decided that I would stop posting personal information (mostly because I felt like my life was boring everyone). I’ve instead been focusing on technology and Internet related stuff, current events, movie and article reviews, and any other things that catch my interest.

Now that people are asking, I’ve decided to reconsider my ban on personal information. I’ll start posting major things that happen to me, and possibly a few funny or ironic situations I feel are worth mentioning now and again. I just don’t want to fall back into the somewhat boring details that make up most of my everyday life. [As an aside, when I say “boring details” I’m talking about things that I don’t think other people would find particularly interesting or fun to read. I am not trying to say that I think my life is boring.]

So, without further ado, let me announce for those of you who may not know (what rock have you been hiding under?), Janene and I got engaged on Christmas Day, 2003. We are anticipating a wedding on February 5, 2005, though the exact date hasn’t been finalized. We want to give ourselves time to finish some school, get pre-marital counseling from our pastor, and save up money so we will be as stable as possible when we combine our finances.

In addition to becoming a fiancé, I also became an uncle last month. Lindsay Joselyn was born on December 3, 2003. She is a beautiful little bundle. Excluding dirty diapers, “new baby smell” beats “new car smell” hands down. Congratulations, Steve and Merissa, and happy birthday Lindsay. I love you guys!
