Well, you've read the notes, the notes said a fond farewell and a happy hello, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they'll be celebrating with us tonight at our Annual New Year's Rockin' Eve bash.

Tonight, the family is having dinner at 6:30 at a local place called Budd Bay Cafe.  After dinner, we'll all probably go to my sister's house for a while.  I'm sure that we'll all be at our respective homes long before midnight.

TOD:

Unless something unexpected arrives in the mail today, I have no new DVDs for this weekend.

However, I do have the 3 final mysteries (2 discs each) of Helen Mirren's PRIME SUSPECT series that I've yet to watch, so maybe we'll see one of those...or something else in my library.

BTW: Tomorrow is my wife Sandy's birthday.

Good morning, all! I didn't get back to sleep last night until around 2 am - I hope this new neighbor and her rude friends will not be a constant irritation - so I slept late. I will head to Toyland around noon to do some more edits with Mr Skip Kennon, and I will occupy my morning on notes on the numbers we've looked over. I must make a trip today to Citibank and deposit some money into my savings account as well.

Your report on 2010 was very nice, BK. I had lots of nice things happen this year and I remember next to nothing. I wish I could blame it on sex and drugs.

Tonight I plan to settle in, watch Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin on tv, file my 2010 tax receipts, and do little else.

  DVD: the Netflix items still sit here
  CD: Portia Nelson, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, sundry Christmas CDs,
  VCR: trash

Not sure what to do.  I lent someone money to pay his rent in early 2009.  Over the last few months, I've left three phone message and three emails asking for the money back, and no response.  Please send vibes for a friendly resolution, although it may be beyond being friendly at this point.

DR FJL, as an occasional and grateful recipient of your generosity in the past, I am so sorry to hear this!

Friday morning greetings!  Rob and Mary Linda arrived back from Michigan just before 11 last night and we stayed up to chat for a while.  Everyone slept late today and we're looking forward to a late afternoon showing of TRUE GRIT and our traditional New Year's Eve dinner of Chinese carry-out.  We'll ring in 2011 in front of the TV.

Morning all!   And a very Happy Last Day of 2010.  I am also fairly glad to see it go.  I'm just hoping that 2011 proves to be a much better year. 

It's warmer today--we will be in the 70's  all weekend long.  I didn't bother to try to turn on the heat because it was 67 when I went to bed.

Seeing that it was such a nice warm morning I decided that all the family needed to be clean and smelling great to greet the New Year.  I usually take the dogs to the vet for a winter bath but as funds are in short supply I decided to try it myself.  I have never given them a bath in the bathtub.  In the Spring/Summer I wash them with the hose outside.

I  put the space heater on in the bathroom and warmed it up to about 80 so they wouldn't be cold.  I thought I was going to have a real problem keeping them in the tub but much to my amazement Toby laid down and didn't give me a bit of trouble.  When it was Sheena's turn she didn't want to get into the tub but once I pulled her over the edge she sat so I didn't really have a problem with her either.

I think they liked being toweled off the best. 

There was much praise given to both.  "Good dog" was spoken many, many, many times.  A treat was in order and given to both. 

I sat in the bathroom with them until I was sure they were both dry.  One thing I must say is that I have a pair of "wash and wear" dogs--with their short hair neither of them take very long to dry.  Of the two, Sheena takes longer.  I didn't see any fleas  but then I never do.  If there were any they would be easy to spot on Toby.

Then they were set free and I turned my attention to giving the entire bathroom and myself a good cleaning.

The entire Hegerty family (and bathroom) is now clean, fresh and smelling GREAT to meet the New Year!

Now that I know how easy it is to give Toby and Sheena a tub/shower bath, I won't be taking them to vet's anymore.  Money saved!
