Did You Miss Me?

Wow, it has been FOREVER since I wrote on this blog.

I just read through a few posts, and was once again pleasantly surprised in hindsight at how lucid, and, dammit, just plain lovable I am!

Here's a funny update:

I opened the freezer door a couple days ago, thinking to maybe clear some space for new, exciting frozen treats to come, and pulled a grocery bag from the very back.

"Hmmmmm, wonder what's in this?" I said to myself.

There was a tag on the bag. It said: "Athena."

I immediately thought, "Guinea pig food?" Because, as you know, dear reader, since you have diligently digested all my previous posts, Athena was one of our guinea pigs.

Then, a split second later I realized the frozen lump in the bag WAS Athena.

That poor, dead guinea pig has been in our freezer for over a year, waiting for burial.

Makes you wonder what else is in there, doesn't it?

By the way -- and this has nothing to do with what's in my freezer, despite the juxtaposition -- you're all invited to my house for music and potluck Feb. 5.
