*sigh* long absence

So My Human has been duly chastised for not making regular updates this month. Not as if I can type - had she given me hands, that might be another story... but until then, I rely on her to enter in my thoughts. So she is grounded. Bad Human.

Anyway, December has been fun and busy. There have been parties and decorating, crafting, working and various other things that have kept us hopping. I am ready to celebrate my first holiday season.

I already got a couple gifts from Jen - my own suitcase and photo album! I am styling now!!

I also got to help Dano celebrate his birthday - though he did get a bit edgy when he thought I was diggin into his cake before he did. Happy birthday, Dano. ;)

Elf. Gnome. Good combo

all the links below are different elf dances from the Office Depot/JibJab site... I am not always one to pimp the corporate machine, but this is one of the most fun campaigns evah. I am so glad they brought it back this year. :)

Absence make the heart grow fonder...

It has been a busy few weeks. Since I last sat down to share my adventures, there have been many things going on.

I'll just go into it a little bit, then My Human will share photos so I can give more information.

First, My Human and I traveled to San Diego to participate in the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk. It was a really cool experience. My Human had some issues with blisters, but overall, the event was a challenge, a success and something to remember. There were 5500 walkers and the event raised $11 million for breast cancer research.

Next came Thanksgiving. I helped cook - ok, I more helped eat - but I tried. Only so much I can do with no arms.

There was a trip to the spa, a visit to the Mulholland fountain, a ride in the HeadBlade Lotus (thanks, Todd!) and then decorating for Christmas.

So much activity!!!

Thanks for your patience, sorry it has been so long.

Protests, lemons and packing

My Human decided to give me a lesson on the freedoms of this country and explained how we have the right to protest and make our voices heard. She took me to downtown Los Angeles to the No on H8 rally, protesting California Prop 8. The crowd was friendly and all just wanted one thing - the right to marry one another. I was sad about how much hate the supporters of Prop 8 spewed. There were not many there, but the ones that were made me sad about how hatefilled and judgemental they were.

At the rally, My Human met up with an old friend of hers from high school that she had not seen in 20 years. Then we met a friend of his and we all stayed together during the rally. They were both great guys and I hope I get to see them again soon.

I think this says it all.

On the way to the car, My Human noticed that the city seal was easy to get to...since it is in the middle of Spring Street in front of City Hall, you normally don't see it...or you can - but there are lots of cars driving over it.. so she put me and our houseguest from New Brunswick (Isabelle) down to get a photo.

After the rally, My Human popped over to Sweet Smiling Home to take a look at what they had during their "Open to the public" event. Ellen met us there and I got to pose with Buddha. My Human loves that place.


Monday night was another fun evening. Our friend, Stacia, has a dwarf meyer lemon tree and the first lemon was finally ready! Stacia invited us up and made the bestest lemon martinis. She even had a little glass for me and let ME pick the lemon!!! :D

We toasted to friendship and fresh citrus.


Now onto the main event for this week. My Human is participating in the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk this weekend. I helped her get all her gear together. She is taking me along so I can experience it with her. She has raised close to $4000 for this event and will be walking a total of 60 miles. She is going to be tiiiiiiired.. but I will try to keep her amused along the way. I can't wait to meet all the people there!

Jack the Cat tried to play with me some... he is not happy to see she is heading out of town again. He made nice while My Human was watching, but I know he is thinking of me as a play toy...

Wish us luck and happy feet this weekend!!!
