Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!
Wow this post is really late, and I realize I haven't posted in a month so I'll make it a run down.
Christmas:
Was excellent!
We had Christmas Eve and Christmas at our house. We played Trivial Pursuit, lazed around, opened presents, played with new "toys", (my favourite being my new coffee machine), annoyed kitties by trying to love them up and overall ate waaayyy too much.
New Years:
We went to a "formal" New Year's party at our friend S&J's house, it was so much fun. I ended up changing into a summer dress halfway through the night because it was much to hot after all the dance partying. My sister and our new roommate came and I think they had an excellent time.
Now:
I'm back to work, which again, I am thankful that I have a job that I love that I actually could go back without too too much whining and trepidation like most people after the holidays.
We got a new puppy! He's a red dacshund named Charlie. He's about three pounds and absolutely hilarious. I love him to bits. Yes that gives us a grand total of four pets!
*side rant - I HATE when people think it's their place to criticize/give their input on the number of animals you have. I mean obviously these people must be experts right? Never mind that all of your pets (excepting the baby), are fixed, shots up to date, well groomed, well fed, walked every second day, loved to bits and pieces and have a big house to run around (so much so that we only see the cats a few times a day).
Ahem. Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Oh and yes, my house is very clean, it's actually been commented upon that unless you knew there were animals there you would never even guess we had any.
Back to Now:
I actually only have a three day work week this week as Michael has surgery on Thursday morning. Please keep him in your thoughts/prayers this week as he gets his ACL replaced (again).

Everyone have a great week, enjoy every moment and drink it all in.
