Happy New Year!
Monday, December 31st, 2007Farewell 2007, Hello 2008!
Sunday, December 30th, 2007It’s hard to believe that 2007 is almost over. It’s been an amazing and interesting year for me! A year of growth and changes and travel! As I was reminiscing about the past year, I realised that I blogged a lot of it and thought it might be fun to reread some of my posts.
So, as I sorted through all my posts from 2007, I created a short list of my favorite ones. Granted, these probably aren’t the posts that were the most read or the most commented on, but are the ones I love for one reason or another. Though, in the end, what really matters to me is that you enjoyed reading them.
Here are my favorite posts for 2007, in order from earliest to most current:
- Big Bear Weekend
- Vegan Comic Strip
- Photo Friday: Alone
- Long Overdue
- A Long, Long Time Ago…
- Somewhere Over the Rainbow…
- Comment Love
- Why I Chose Alley Cat Allies
- WIRED NextFest 2007
- Trip to Thailand
Do you have a favorite post of mine from 2007? I’d love to know which post(s) you found interesting and noteworthy, and why. :blush:
Secret Santa Goodies Galore
Friday, December 28th, 2007This year, I joined in on only one Secret Santa trade. It was through KMRL Mojo Radio Live, of which I am a DJ personality for. Even though we were given our name to send a gift to only a few days before Christmas, I received my package today! Normally, I wouldn’t blog about receiving a box in the mail, but this particular package is most certainly worth a post. It was packed full of goodies, some of which I never even knew existed. 😆 See for yourself:
Here’s a list of everything that came in the box, from top to bottom, left to right:
- Package of chocolate Santa’s
- Loose stack of Bella Sara cards (included a rare foil card)
- Sealed package of 5 Bella Sara cards
- Sample package of Jack Daniel’s ground coffee
- Veggie Basket with 11 pieces (lettuce, tomato, eggplant, cucumber, pumpkin, corn-on-the-cob, carrot, squash, green chili pepper, celery)
- I.Q. puzzle (metal rings)
- Parasite Pals flashlight, Zzeezz Bed Bug
- Parasite Pals pencil case, Tickles Tapeworm
- Slinky Jr.
- Plastic play watch
- Plastic daisy bracelet
- Black cat pencil topper
My favorite items from the package are the Bella Sara cards and black cat pencil topper, though all of the items (save for the coffee) transported me right back to my childhood and are a lot of fun to play with. 🙂 The coffee will be consumed post haste, and the chocolate is already gone.
A big thank you goes to my Secret Santa! You sent such a fun present!
Attention: Californians Who Love Animals
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007
If you are at least 18 years old or older, are registered to vote in California and love animals, please take a moment to visit the Californians for Humane Farms website.
There, you can learn more on how you can help animals this holiday season by signing up to gather some signatures, among other things!
I’ve already signed up with them and received my packet in the mail. I plan to gather signatures at a local community college campus in a few days. Through the website, you can even find someone nearby to partner with to gather signatures, if you feel uncomfortable going alone.
A special thanks go to Brita for alerting me to this great cause! Brita is a good friend I met in Louisiana while doing pet rescue after Hurricane Katrina. In addition to being a wonderful person, she was a devoted volunteer to the cats that came through Celebration Station and when she returned home, she adopted two kitties (Mimi who is FIV+ and FeLeuk+, and Nancy who is FIV+) to bring back to spoil. I am glad to know her.
