” ‘Gonna make it through this year if it kills me’ (and it almost killed me)…”*
Okay, so I failed you with the promised bloggy photos of roving and mittens and things. Ever so sorry. I’ll come through with them soon. Really, I will. The Sunrise Circle Jacket now has its buttons and I may very well wear it from now until my hopefully ever-so-far-off dying day. At which point I want to be cremated in it. I love this sweater. I really love this sweater. I’m hoping for some decent sunlight tomorrow so photographic evidence may be gathered.
I’ll spare you the year-end roundup. Let’s just call 2006 the year where I learned that blessings can kick your ass. And that the universe laughs at birth plans. And that there are some tattoos that should be delayed until the book sells.
Have a fantastic New Years. Wishing you love and luck and happiness and health in the coming year.
*Can you name this tune? Hint: it’s connected to something I did this year… Let me rephrase that. Something fun I did this year. I don’t mean the could-have-died-emergency-c-section thing. That wasn’t very much fun at all.
The Mountain Goats?
Happy New Year… I can’t wait to see your Sunrise Circle!

As a matter of fact, I *can* name that tune, but I feel like I should give other people a chance! Have a very happy new year, lady. Much love.

I wouldn’t have guessed the song. I cheated and looked at the comments. I’m pooped. A very Happy New Year to all of you!

it’s a line from the song you’ve become famous by having your singing voice recorded! 😉

I’m musically challenged, so I was useless at trying to guess it.
Best of everything in 2007, Sweetie!

I hear ya on the “universe laughs at birth plans”. I drew the could-have-died-emergency-c-section card also about 3 weeks ago and brought home a beautiful 4 week preemie. Best to you and your family in 2007.

Happy New Year! I agree about adopting shelter animals and rescues, but I must also mention that the shelter sometimes has a foster-to-sponser program that takes shelter animals to foster parents for a few weeks for love and socializing, then they go on display indefinitely at the pet store (it’s Pet Smart here where I live), instead of back to the shelter. And they are never put down, they are at the pet shop until they are adopted. So sometimes it can work at a shop if you check out the circumstances first.

Hey, this year almost killed me too!!! I’m pretty glad to see it go, actually. Ready to take on the crawling babies in 07. Bring it on!

Love the Mountain Goats reference! The Sunrise Circle Jacket looks great.

Look Cari!
33 “Chillout Tent” [Song]
The Hold Steady
Boy and girl go to outdoor festival, gobble too many mushrooms and wind up making out while hooked up to IVs. The verdict: “It was kinda sexy, but it was kinda creepy.”
The Hold Steady is number 33 on Rolling Stones’ The Best 100 Songs of 2006!
I love Kate Gilbert, too. She’s amazing. As are you!
