Nope, you're not getting one. I can't be bought off.
Feel free to try (chocolate and bacon).
But it won't work.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I dread the day I first hear someone in meatspace say "like" the way some people will say "LOL". I fear it is inevitable.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Let's see.
Early 2011 was dominated by Marie's illness, then the merry-go-round of eye infections among the cats and me, then Victor's FIP and death.
Then I got a cat scratch got infected (IV antibiotics) and bone spurs in my neck (surgery). Just as the physical therapy ended, Hubs landed in the hospital and is working on disability retirement.
Vacation was nice, but I'm over 3,000 posts behind in Natter and over 1,000 behind in Bitches. Which is why I've been so quiet the last few weeks.
Overall, though, I'm more than ready for 2012. Even if I do turn the Big 5-0.

Just jump right back in, Fred. We've missed you. I hope Hubs is doing better.

The big 5-0 ain't no big thang, let me tell you. Now, even though 60 is only 6 years away, I'm cowering, I tell you, cowering.

Ha! I'm cowering faster.

Our wings are not tired.
I say 50 is a reason to party. That birthday I spent failing rock climbing with Lori. 60 is just a couple years out so I have to make a plan.
Best wishes to Hubs. You both should have a much better '12.

SNOOPY DANCE!!!! I got my Secret Santa box from none other than our lovely Perkins. I'm torturing the kids right now by not opening all the goodies, cause it is fun to torture them. Not sure how long it will be before I am torturing myself.
I put my box in the mail and I just realized I didn't put my name in the box. I had a card all ready to put in there and then something shiny distracted me.
eta - geeze, I do know how to spell. Was too excited.
