Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend an a Merry Xmas, Yule or whatever it is you celebrate.  Mine went really well and although it does make me feel guilty for some reason and my past Holidays haven't been the best but it was a great time spent with good people.  I got my wife a dog for her birthday/xmas gift and for being cat people I must admit he's pretty awesome! We've had him less than a week but he sure feels like family already.  I can guarantee you there will be a photo or two posted here in the near future.   I'm also happy to report that the big cat, Orwell has taken well to the puppy and has displayed great restraint while being chased and prodded all day long.  The other cat , Myrrh, just stays hidden and that works the best for her as she has so far displayed nothing but fear over the very, very tiny puppy.  He's a mutt and the product of two very tiny dogs so he will most likely stay smaller than the cats, I can't wait to see him grow.  I saved the best information for last, although unplanned and against all odds my wife and I are expecting our second child, we find out the sex tomorrow so I will report more on that later as well.  The baby is due in early May, that's why I chose this flower picture, nothing says May better than some flowers and we all know I have flowers.  I may have announced this one day earlier than expected but I've been waiting long enough and I should mention that all of my divining and tarot readings point to a girl but we won't know for certain until tomorrow, until then have a great day and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PEACE!!!!!!!
