For a very little girl with methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, a frequently lethal skin infection more commonly known as MRSA.
See Kate’s post for a picture of this adorable little girl who needs lots of prayers right now.
Well, not really resolutions, but goals I’ll set for myself:
In no particular order:
Better time management
Plan meals for the week instead of winging it everyday
Work on eating healthy
Others as I think of them.
What are your goals for 2009?
Wishing a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all two or three of my readers!
Please leave a comment so we can see how many there actually are!
Please go visit Take Back Our Seat.
The US Senate seat from Illinois belongs to the people and is not for sale.
I have an appointment I have to go to and will come back later with video and a transcript.
I am looking for other contributors from both sides of the aisle. And you don’t have to be from Illinois. New York’s Junior Senate seat should be filled by the people as well.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Sissy Willis and Tuck on the loss of their Baby Cakes. “Just a cat”, is never the proper response. Our companions are more than just a cat, or a dog, or a bird, or a ferret or any other animal that shares our home. Baby was, and his sister Tiny is, a member of the household just as much as their humans are.
Our companions know when we aren’t feeling well, be it physically or psychically, and they try to make us feel better. Poor Tiny doesn’t know why her brother is gone or why her “Mom” and “Dad” are feeling so bad. But she’ll try to make them feel better.
Please go ahead and read the other posts Sissy has posted as well.
We have three cats, our tiny little Bitsy; 11 years old and the size of a six month old kitten, Liath (pronounced Leah – Gaelic for gray) who is our own Tiny and Baby look-alike although she’s short haired, and Duncan Idaho; our silly boy who kept climbing the Christmas tree when he was a baby. We call him Mini-Me because he looks a bit like our other boy, Nikita the Siberian Husky. And we can’t forget our Shih-Tzu Raven or the newest adoptee Sunshine the Cockatiel who showed up on our doorstep in early September.
Sissy and Tuck, our heartfelt condolences are sent to you with hugs.

How weird a year was it?
Here’s how weird:
• O.J. actually got convicted of something.• Gasoline hit $4 a gallon — and those were the good times.
• On several occasions, Saturday Night Live was funny.
Go read the rest.
My cousin and his wife had their third baby, her fifth, Saturday night. Happy birthday Avery! She was born C-Section because she was breech, but is a happy, healthy 10 pounds 7 ounces, 20 inches long.
Yesterday was a CSI marathon on Spike. There were commercials for My Bloody Valentine 3-D “Because nothing says ‘date movie’ like a ride to hell.” Opens January 16th! It actually looks like it might be neat.
There was an ad at Politico.com from Chrysler thanking America for investing in Chrysler. That when 66% of Americans were against a bailout. I was especially against a bailout of Chrysler. Why should America invest in private company Chrysler when their own holding company Cerebrus refused to? Keep your thanks Chrysler. If it were up to me you wouldn’t have received a dime.
We had a great Christmas. Lots of family and fun. The kids loved their presents. Little Guy built a radio with his Snap Circuits 300 kit.
Lots of movies, old and new. Memphis Belle, Tora, Tora, Tora, Hellboy, Hellboy II, Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Prince Caspian, and Horton Hears a Who.
Now it’s time to get ready for the New Year!
Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Luke 2: 10-11
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
KJV
Merry Christmas to all!
Tomorrow is Christmas Day. I’ll be baking pies and cookies today and listening to The Anchoress read from Luke.
Merry Christmas!
