Our Inflatable Penguin

Aaaaaaa!! The snow killed our inflatable penguin. Oh, the horror.

Okay, don't worry. We brought him inside and he recovered. Must have been magical New Year's Snow, like Frosty's Christmas snow.

Lessons for the new year

Well, here are a few lessons I recently learned...

1. The snow taught me something. Even a family that likes each other should not be stuck in the house together for that many days.


2. It's better to watch a comedy before going to bed, instead of a sad movie.


3. I'm the only person in my city who knows how to drive in the snow and ice.


4. A computer works better with more memory. I would probably work better if I had better memory.


5. I thought I took a lot of pictures when I used film. In one year of having a digital camera, my picture output almost tripled.


6. There really is such a thing as too many cookies. Dang, who would have imagined it?


7. I enjoy nature, until something small, furry and uninvited tries to get into the house.


8. I'm really happy when something small, furry and uninvited tries and doesn't succeed.


9. My dog isn't as dumb as she acts.


10. I actually can sleep 8 hours all at once, if given the opportunity. Who'd have thunk it?
11. If you take the time to enjoy it, a roll of smarties can last all day.
