Reindeer (and nephew) Games

by admin @ 5:39 pm. Filed under Christmas, family, games

Christmas is always a joy for me, but ever since my nephew Dominic has been old enough to rip through wrapping paper like a tornado through Kansas, it’s been that much more special. Christmas is for kids. Having a kid around makes the holiday even better. Here I have a video of Dominic and my brother looking for me during round 100 or so of “Hide & Go Seek”. I’m in my Mom’s closet (go figure…) peeking out through the crack. Notice how even though Dominic has a sword in hand, he is the first to skedaddle when I leap out yelling. Heh. Heh.

Oh, and sorry for the dark quality. I’ve put a (flashed) picture below.

Merry Christmas!

“Don’t go home,” Jack said. “Spend Christmas with me.”

“We’ve just met,” I smiled.

He seemed hurt, which made me feel bad. “I can come tomorrow night. Same place.”

“Lost in the same place in my woods? Good luck with that,” he pouted.

“My parents’ place then,” I offered. “They’ll want to thank…” Jack embraced me unexpectedly and kissed me like every boyfriend I’d ever had was kissing me all at once.

My parents found me on their porch the next morning; my wrapping-paper skin blue with frost and a frozen smile like I’d gotten the best Christmas gift ever.

It’s our party

by admin @ 10:43 pm. Filed under ATA, Christmas, animals

My friend Michelle and I hosted our second annual Christmahannakwanzaastice Charity Party for Animal Trustees of Austin this past Saturday. Our theme was “wine and cheese”. Over 30 people showed up with donations of food and litter (and a carrier!!) for ATA and the animals they care for (we provided the drinks and snackie-poos; gotta get ‘em in the door somehow!). All my cats (Zaph and M and Rose) were neutered at ATA and my dog (Hogan, seen in the picture above) had his heartworm treatment there. And Michelle’s six dogs and one cat… don’t get me started. Fun was had by all and four lucky people won door prizes - a gingerbread man kit, an ATA calendar, a bottle of wine with wine spouts, and a bottle of champagne. By the end of the night we were exhausted and way toasty, but for what a reason! Next year we’re doing “beer and shots”.
