I've had a big ant problem so I'm craving an armadillo too.
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Armadillos carry leprosy. Maybe you'd better go for an anteater.
Wow. That's a fact I was unaware of.
This has been a crazy week, but now I have KITTIES!
If only the kitties could get rid of the ants, I'd have it made in the shade. Maybe a healthy armadillo to patrol the yard...
Leprosy's not very communicable and armadillos aren't very huggable, so the chance of catching leprosy from an armadillo is pretty tiny, but that's why it's illegal to sell live armadillos in a number of states.
I also want a tortoise to nibble my lawn down, and they're all crawling with salmonella. Why are all the cute pets so diseased, may I ask.
Bad news for everyone who's had a sucktastick 2005 and are waiting for a shiny new 2006 - you're gonna have to wait longer. They just stuck an extra second onto the end of 2005.
Well, on the whole 2005 would seem like a good year for me. G and I are still both fully employed and healthy, I have a new adorable nephew, we bought a house and went to Scotland and life seems to be good.
And yet...the stuff with G's work has been going on since September, causing him a lot of stress. This in turn stresses me out. I end up feeling like a major wuss because I'm not handling it well. Compared to what lots of folks are going through, my life is easy, but I'm finding myself having little meltdowns over nothing. I really hate this.
Let's hope 2006 is a damn sight better for all.
Do the Mayan's know this? Cause they are gonna be super smug when time implodes.
