Lis's Project 365

Much like little kids, what cats really get excited about on Christmas is the wrapping paper. And what better thing to find inside your wrapping paper than a nice warm Winnie!

We celebrated Christmas Eve in the way Our People have done for generations…we went out for Chinese food. Which was a lot more fun than ripping up toilet paper  (you’ll just have to click on the link for an explanation).

I can’t help but wonder who thought it was a good idea to make Christmas lights shaped like the Pillsbury dough boy.

At least they don’t replicate his annoying little giggle.

I have never been any good at making paper dolls. I always seem to fold them wrong. My coworker made these. She’ crafty. I’m not. But I’m OK with that–I got other mad skillz.

After weeks of waiting and several games of phone tag with various mostly non-helpful people, I finally got my flu shot today. After all the drama, it was incredibly anticlimactic. My arm is a wee bit sore. A small price to pay for avoiding The Swine.

For Tess next door (the lighter dog, on the right), this is her first winter. As Doug said, dogs tend to approach new things with joy and excitement. That’s certainly true for these two.

Another critter day at work, and they brought a ferret. I like ferrets: they are very cute and funny. But I wouldn’t want one in my house–they don’t smell so good and pretty much destroy anything they get their little hands on. It’s kind of how I feel about kids.

These are magic bubbles. They’re really cool…they last forever and on any surface. Lots of fun.

this is my coworker Hellen, holding the blue-tongued skink at work. She was trying to get him to stick out his tongue, but he wasn’t being very accommodating.

There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Humpty backed camels, and chimanzees.
There were cats and rats and elephants…
