happy new year, everyone!

I just want to wish everyone a very happy 2009. What did you do last night? We had a friend over for dinner, but we were in bed by 11:00. We're just not very exciting people anymore, honestly. And today, I feel like I've been beaten about my entire body with a big stick, thanks to my workouts this week. :) So, I'm going to keep a low profile today and try to get a few things done around the house. I'll post again when I actually have something interesting to say!

Christie said...: We didn't do much. My parents are visiting from the US, and my dad was rushed to the emergency room on Christmas Day, so the holidays have been strange this year. He only got out of hospital the day before NYE, so we just had a really low-key evening. A few friends stopped by to exchange gifts and chat early on in the evening. My parents went to bed at 11, and Andy and I stayed up to see the countdown and then went to bed. Nothing particularly exciting, really.; January 2, 2009 at 3:22 AM

There was once an actual salamander in my Dad’s slipper (His house is in a rather wooded area and is a haven to many non-human creatures.), and my best friend and I thought that would make a great children’s book title. We never wrote the book, but I figured I might as well put the catchy phrase to use as my blog title. Why not? (We don't know for sure if it was really a salamander vs. some other kind of lizardlike creature, but we were going for the alliteration. Artistic license, ya know?)
