Adam Lambert and Kate Gosselin have the same hairstyle. When the temperature drops below zero the dog does her business toot-sweet. Our Ecclectus Parrot only needs to see the orange handled nail clippers coming out of the drawer and she scrambles beak over feet to her big iron bird cage.
It is the time of year when I look into the mirror and do not dare ask “who is the fairest of them all.” Unless, Montana winter pastiness counts. As the year 2009 hangs its ‘gone fishing’ sign on the door, I feel a little disturbed by how fast time goes by. I think I am mostly disturbed because I am old enough to realize I have a lot left undone and young enough to fear and dread my own crossing over. I turn my pale face away from the mirror and tick–tock the things I did during the year.
I participated in NaNoEdMo in March, NaNoWriMo in November, I wrote lots of things in between. I managed to post a Tarot Card of the Week, each week during the year, complete with a graphic representation of the Tarot Card. I started this blog you are reading and opened a FaceBook account. Enough of this stuff about me, I seldom read those Christmas Family NewsLetters that arrive with Seasons Greetings, so I will stop just short of making this post one of them.
News Stories and events that caught my attention this year included the Obama family moving into the Whitehouse, H1N1, and Michael Jackson’s sudden departure. That is a good mix of joy, fear and sadness.
In 2010, I will moisturize more often, keep my novel submissions out and about, and I will continue to do the things I was successful with in 2009. I will solve the puzzle about why Kate Gosselin and Adam Lambert are never seen together. I will cheer the dog through winter days and snowdrifts that let her feet drop through mid ‘hurry.’ And, I think our local animal groomer should have a turn at the parrot’s nails. She could use a beak dremmeling as well.
Till next time, stay warm and blow out the candles.
