Happy New Year!

In about 10 minutes we're leaving to go pick up Lindsay and Kyle from LAX. Spiral will be glad to see his daddy.

Oops, Jim says we need to leave now. See y'all later! Tonight we're going to Kevin and Mary's for nosh and music. Later we'll probably goto Ken's. Don't know about that one yet.

We picked up Lindsay and Kyle (their trip went well), and had a nice lunch at a Carrow's along the way, and shared what we did last week. Lindsay had some photos to share.

When we got home, Spiral (Kyles kitty) had peed on a bed and was hiding and not coming out. I wonder why he chose today to make a mess, after a week of missing Kyle and doing okay...

Maybe Spiral was mad cuz he didn't get to go to the airport?

Glad they are home safely and had a good time.

L., if I wrote the 31st, my mistake. If Doni wrote it, well, hers. ;->

Because she switched from Philosophy to Creative Writing, we expect Lindsay to graduate in 2008. She's still doing pretty well with school.

That concert is so wonderful! Isn't George's son a total doll? I loved the lovely uke rendition of "I'll See You In My Dreams". I found that arrangement on one of the music sites (either Chordie or Ukulele Boogaloo). It's got crazy chords up the wazoo. Lots of quick changes. Too advanced for me.

Jim and I just got back from getting stuff out of the sales shed. We grabbed everything of value and left the crap. The wind just about blew us away. It's been a productive day and that makes me happy. I'm trying to get the house cleaned up enough so we can function. I'm also getting things ready for fixing up the new painting studio. Paint has been purchased. I want to erase all evidence of Carlos and Natalie. Too painful to look at. For those of you who don't know, Carlos and Natalie lived in the Timio apartment. Natalie and her grandmother were killed last summer trying to cross the street. I think she was 11. She was a very sweet, cheerful little girl. Her brother, Carlos, is a big jerk and was often pretty mean to Natalie. He wrote "La Gorda" (the fat girl) on her bedroom door. He spray painted "Carlos' Gym" on the floor. I just want to get rid of all that.

We still need to do more to get the room secure and we need to improve the lighting in that room. The shower leaks pretty badly so Jim's going to cap it. It's going to take a while before I'm ready to create some pretty stuff but it feels good to get things cleaned up.

Oh yeah! Last night when midnight hit it turned into a war zone around here! That was the loudest New Year's Eve I've ever heard! There were lots of illegal fireworks and I'm sure people were shooting guns into the air. I stood outside for a little while and listened but it got too scary. Man, that was nuts! Happy Ghetto New Year!

Happy New Year! When do we walk again?

Donita Curioso said...

Soon. I went the other day and it was a struggle. Man, I'm weak! When are you available? I have a chiro appointment Tuesday at 4.

Redhen,

I have an interesting package ready to ship to you. Nothing much, but an interesting story.
