White and Nerdy
Yep, Shaun and I like Weird Al Yankovic. He's funny, there's no denying it. His latest tune, titled above, is a mock of "Ridin' Dirty" by some rapper I don't know. It's heeelarious. No lyrics yet, but give me time.
Happy 2008 to everyone! Hope you all had wonderful Christmases with your friends and families.
Our Christmas was spent primarily on the road. First, en route to Kingston, then Elgin, then Prescott, then Kingston, then Ottawa. Two days of rest for Shaun while I headed back to work, then back to Elgin again for a mock New Year's Eve on the 29th where I got sufficiently hammered and had a blast. We loved seeing all of our family over the break, had candid conversations about everything from what new cross-over vehicles are on the market, to farts and poop (and related pranks and jokes), to nature and wild animals (courtesy of our Planet Earth DVD set). Much turkey was consumed, many naps taken.
We had a quiet New Year's Eve after spending five hours at the Queensway Carleton Hospital that morning (no need for alarm - we're both fine) and driving all the way there with a flat tire that wasn't discovered until we parked at the hospital. How we didn't damage the rim on poor Mitsu is beyond me. Shaun was out in the snow, putting on the spare... poor guy! What a handy husband have I. Fortunately for us we'd scheduled an oil change for 9:30 that morning and because it was just a screw in the tire tread, they were able to patch the tire for us. Yippee! A New Year's miracle. So by the time we got back home we were both exhausted and in no mood to party. After napping for 4 hours, we watched Shrek 2, courtesy of CBC, then turned on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve and played Scrabble until about 1am.
I am looking forward to 2008 and hope it has much to offer... or at least that I can make it a great year. Let's take a quick run-down of the year to come, shall we?
January - Mom's birthday. She'll be mad if I disclose her age and even though I'm 28 years old, I still can't lie to her. Oh, whatever..she's in Cancun for two weeks! She'll be 61 and is planning on retiring in June.
February - Dad will be 65! No chance of him retiring soon - he likes his job too much. Besides, if the two of them were at home, together, all the time...well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty. Also in February comes the new stat holiday, Family Day! Yahoo!
April - I'll be 29. Yikes! And friends Lee and Kari are getting married!
May - Mikey will be 6, which is close to or over 50 in dog years (more for him because of his size). I'll probably get him started on glucosamine for his joints, just to take some preventative steps. He's sleeping a lot more lately, but he's probably feeding off my winter blahs.
June/July/August - Summer is welcomed with open arms and multiple camping trips.
September - Our one-year wedding anniversary! And more chocolate wedding cake...mmm...cake...Also my nephew Owen will be 6 and probably starting grade 1.
October - Shaun will be 31 and officially "in" his 30s.
Obviously there are lots of other things coming up in 2008 but I'm too sleepy to remember them all. So with these tired eyes and clumsy fingers, I bid you goodnight... and cheers to a great year ahead.
