It was time to replace the old (10-year-old) cat tree. In spite of trying to save it, the tree has really bit the dust. So it was time to go cat tree shopping and we were lucky enough to hit a sale!
Finally the new furniture is in the living room. It’s not by the window yet. I still have to take the old one out but there’s no holding back the curious cat…Rocky , of course.
Looks like it meets with his approval!
It’s another cold, wet, gray day with temps in the 40’s. I had a long list of errands so I met up with Nancy sans children and we headed off to get them done and then enjoy a nice lunch.
In the end I added another member to my little family. You know there’s Smokey

and “Editor-in Chief” Rocky,
Editor in Chief
we also have Scout.

Scout’s been on a sabbatical visiting his family in South Dakota.
Well, we made a stop at the local “Build -a- Bear” so now we have a white polar bear joining the staff. The bear is going to be a model as needed for the greeting card line and a traveling consultant when Dusty goes on the road. You should have seen the interview he had to go through with Rocky…He aced it but it was an “in-your-face” interview!
We thought it would be fun to let it stow-away in the luggage and then get pictures at various locations. We’ll see how it goes. In the meantime we need a name.
Now you all know how good I am at naming pets and creatures…after all, how original is Smokey or Rocky???I need help.
So here’s the picture of our adorable new addition.
Any suggestions?
Just because I assigned a theme to 2012 doesn’t mean I can escape the urge to look at the new year as a new start, a chance to get a “do-over” with a new (old?) set of resolutions.
So here they are: the same old worn out chestnuts that I bring out every January. Still, if I BELIEVE this may just be the year.
#1. Be a better housekeeper!. Not perfect but just a bit more conscientious.
#2. Eat Well…not more , just more healthfully.
#3. Exercise
#4. Clean up my financial life.
#4. Above all Live Life Fully! (LLF)
You notice I didn’t say I was going to lose weight…not 10, not 30, not 100 lbs. Would I like to lose weight? Sure who wouldn’t but my effort is to focus on health not weight loss. If I can be active and feel good then I’m not going to sweat it if I’m a bit “rotund”.
Moderation in all things!
