Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

OMG, I just got a flower deliver with $100 Amazon gift card from Nigel!!! I mean, I am sure he had Katie actually arrange it! If I had known that quitting would give me so much more respect and attendtion, I would have done it years ago!

That's awesome Sophia!

Sparky that sounds great! (New Zealand, not law school debt)

Kitties are Ok with roses, hydrangeas, and peonies, right? Petunia is interested. She didn't touch the carnation/mum bouquet I bought myself, but this is making her curious.

New Zealand seems awesome. I am picturing you guys like Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S has been a pain most of the day. Probably didn't get enough sleep.

I visited NZ 30-plus years ago, long before LotR, and I do wonder how my view of NZ is different from those who visit now. My take on it was "beautiful but very English", not the least bit exotic. But that was before the lighting of the beacons and other iconic scenes became part of the culture.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sophia, that's wonderful! Nice to be appreciated, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure hydrangeas are toxic to cats. Try to keep Petunia from gnawing on them. She may just sniff them and lose interest. My cats don't care about flowers, but they'll chow down on the spider plant.

When I get money again, New Zealand is high on the list of places I want to go. My BFF needs to go visit the Hobbit village, too.

The Post Office is open tomorrow. This is a good thing. Saying a prayer for the health of the postal employees.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I need to do stuff!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have done stuff! Finished Christmas shopping, except one thing that has to wait until Monday, cleaned the bathroom, have a cake in the oven and laundry ready to go in the dryer. I also listened to approx. one million podcasts. I hope I have enough for the big clean on Monday!

Also my potato ornament was a victim of Buddy, I assume. At any rate, it was broken on the floor this morning. Sad!

I feel like I try to tell people this! I've sort of been a job-hopper, but honestly, people who stay in one place a long time are almost never appreciated the way they should be! Anyway, that's really nice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

If I get to NZ, yeah, the touristy LotR sites. But also, as many of the Whale Rider locations as possible. And as many Maori things as white tourists are welcome to see/visit/take part in.

Guys, I need a bit of help. My entire facebook page just suddenly went all Spanish on me. The hysterical thing is I'm sure there's a button somewhere to switch it back, but I don't read Spanish so I can't tell where and what that button might be. I may have accidentally pressed something while I was on the site this morning, but I went elsewhere when I finished what I was reading, didn't log out b/c I was returning, and when I came back, lo, Spanish! Anybody?
