I didn't do anything too exciting for New Year's, just hung out at home and did some reading, watched various "marathons" on television, cleaned up a little bit...pretty much perfect. Walker and I hung out a bit last night and today we're going to a Chinese buffet and checking out Cold Mountain. Stacey is flying back in tonight, which is great...I miss her quite a bit. Flannery misses her a lot, too, I can tell. I've been watching quite a few Twilight Zone episodes lately (2 day marathon on SciFi Channel) and if I ever write anything as cool as just one of the really good episodes, I'll be happy. I'm eating some Krispy Kreme []d=---------gffffttttonutuij23333333s (the seasonal is Pumpkin Spice and amazing) in an attempt to cushion that extra holiday weight and the cat keeps suspecting something's up and coming over to check out the situation. She has this habit of drinking out of my water. I don't mind sharing and my socialist tendencies say "hey, no problem," and in all reality, it's probably more healthy than sharing with a human, but I can't get over the fact that she licks herself all over and I really just don't like thinking about that when drinking my water. As a result, I keep a glass of water nearby on the floor for her. Today she knows something is up (I'm hiding the donuts in a box) and to get me back, she keeps trying to drink out of my water glass instead of hers. She finally would only drink out of hers after I pretended to drink out of it; then she lapped up quite a bit. I'd give her a piece of donut but both Walker and I gave her small pieces last night and the last thing this cat needs is a sugar buzz.
And I'm stingy.
