What are your rituals or traditions for starting off a new year?
Well, I've never really had any rituals at New Years. Nor resolutions. I used to always say, "If you don't make any resolutions, you won't have anything to feel guilty about when you don't stick to them later in the year!"
I've never been a huge New Year fan--I don't drink, don't have friends here in AZ (aside from my husband of course), AND, most importantly--I don't think we should wait for just the start of a new Roman Calendar Year to resolve to make changes in our lives.
I've spent the past year and half or more really, really working on myself--making changes, doing my best to take better care of myself...and it's a tough, year-round job!!
Anyways, last night to celebrate the New Year, Torey and I went to see the new 'National Treasure' movie. It was completely awesome, better than the 1st I think, and I can't wait for the next one. It was so lovely to spend NYE in a nearly empty theatre with my husband-bestfriend, just the two of us, enjoying a good fun adventure flick. It was the best NYE I've had in quite a while.
Now we're off to get some eye medicine for Lola...she's got a very irritated and gunky eye that we've got to take care of, stat!

Which cartoon character best represents you?
Submitted by Know It All.
Umm, maybe like Mika Suzuki Sensei from Doki Doki School Hours, or Chiyo-Chan or Miss Sakaki or Osaka from Azumanga Daioh? I am smart but goofy and tiny and red-headed and quiet and embarrass easily, and I LOVE CATS and I love cute little things and feel awkward around many people. I also love food and sweets and sleeping and reading and laughing.
Moonlight, Moonlight Sleeping!

Tee hee. My sister Ada just sent this pic my way. Cats are such dorks!
My Frost turns 13 this month...not sure of the date, so today we celebrated with a catnip party. Frosting took time out of her busy schedule as an undercover double agent Russian mafia spy extraordinaire. Lola went nuts. Frost and Opal were incredibly pleased. The catnip came after the hired talent--the $3 Callie Coe fluffy kitty marionette puppet we picked up at Walgreens tonight. They think it's silly, of course. Torey and I probably got more of a kick out of it then they did! They weren't fooled--they saw the strings and the hand control, and knew it was just a toy. They're too smart for us!!
Happy Birthday Frosting!!
Look at my babies!
