Happy New Year!

Be safe and responsible this weekend. And have a good time.

Goodbye to 2010!

The Out-of-Towners

Well, hello again!

I've been busy entertaining my out-of-town guests, Farmor and Dave.

I picked out a few items at the Farmers Market, at Third and Fairfax.

But all I got to eat was this dry biscuit. Actually, that's not true; I had some Mexican food from Loteria Grill -- one of my dad's favorites. It was delicious.

I also took Farmor and Dave to the little aquarium at the end of the Manhattan Beach Pier, where I showed them starfish, eels, and sharks.

After five days of rain, I made sure that the weather was perfect for the end of their visit.

Merry Christmas!

Well, hello! Here I am in my awesome new monkey beanbag chair. Did I mention that it's awesome? And that I love monkeys? I've been a little under the weather, but you know what revived me? Presents!

And family! Thanks for holding me while I drank one of my milk cocktails, Granny C.

Anyway, back to the presents! I received several great new books, and I found this GIANT one really intriguing. [Uh, someone might have told me you could see my onesie over the top of my lowrider cords. I would have pulled my shirt down. Thanks.]

I squeezed in a few phone calls, while wearing this cute, new butterfly hat.

And I took several spins on my new scooter.

I also tried on Granny C.'s new sombrero.

And when it came time to hit the sheets, I had to be pried off of the scooter, which I did not find amusing ... at all. Whatever. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I probably won't remember how miffed I was.

Jane Fonda or Justin Bieber?

Some days I'm Justin Bieber; other days I'm Jane Fonda in Klute.

Today, I'm Jane Fonda!

Who will I be tomorrow?

I'm not telling.

Tree Trimming

This is me in my snowman jammies, helping to decorate the Christmas tree.

This is also me helping decorate the tree. Believe me, my assistance was indispensable.

Here I'm sneaking a bit of chocolate from my good pal Lisa.

Christmas is Coming!

Last evening, the neighborhood had a holiday walk. The stores stayed open late and everybody was in a festive mood.

I don't know why I was placed on this gentleman's lap, but he seemed like a pleasant man. I might even say jolly.

Kate and I had fun with some balloons we found outside a bakery.

Then, just Kate had fun with the balloons, at my expense. [By the way, I love Kiehl's!]

I partied so hard I passed out and had to be taken home and put to bed. Embarrassing.
