Getting Ready for the big day!

No mischief today as we know Santa is watching! 

We thought we would show the few decorations we have up in our house.

The Christmas tree - it is fake, 15 feet tall. It is in our living room. 

This is the Hanukkah tree. It is suppose to be an upside down. Lady has decorated it
in blue and silver and Hanukkah things. It is in our dining room. 

Lights on the railing in the dining room, looking down into the living room. 

The fireplace in the living room. The stockings are hung with care!

Our wall of cards - this year they are covering the pantry doors in the kitchen

The house is all ready. Our cousin Emma and Uncle Chris are coming today until noonish on the 25th. Then we are alone until the 28th when Aunt C and Uncle D come to celebrate. Lady says it is a whole week of celebrating!

We will be around over the holidays and will stop by those of you who are also around.

Black and White Sunday - O Christmas Tree

About Zaphod's name:

We have had a number of comments lately asking if we are big fans of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. While we are, Zaphod was named by his foster mom Jenn, and we just decided to keep it!

PS. Lady is really sorry we couldn't get around to see everyone yesterday and that we won't get to see everyone today. She let us do some reading and no commenting. She is trying to wrap up work and do some silly Christmas stuff the next couple of days so she can have all of next week off! She says we will have lots of time to visit then. We told her Santa is watching, she better be extra nice but we will cut her some slack. 

Meet the Blogger

Last week on http://nodogaboutit.wordpress.com I saw this blog hop, Meet the Blogger. I thought this was a neat idea. So I have grabbed the badge, put a picture of me and here are my answers at least 5 of the list of questions.

• What’s your favorite non-animal related book?
• I have a couple: Timothy Findley's The Wars and Hugo's Les Miserables.
• What’s your favorite non-animal related movie?
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factor (with Johnny Depp)
• Who’s your favorite actor?
• Probably Mark Walberg right now - although Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and really only Wolverine is my favourite. 
• What’s one thing you have to do every day?
• Check my email
• What makes you feel fabulous?
• Finishing  my to do list.
• What do you wish you were more skilled at?
• Spelling
• What’s your favorite holiday?
• Hanukkah (even though I am not Jewish)
• Favorite meal?
• It varies as my hubby is such an amazing cook. I love his Mexican Chicken Parmigiana, his brown sugar and apple pork, and he makes these home fries to die for.
• What one word would people who know you use to describe you?
• Intense
• If your pets could talk, what one word would THEY use to describe you?
• Well trained
• How is your pet most like you?
• Lee and I both are intense and have anxiety.
