2007? What is this 2007 I see?
Posted By Kathleen David on December 7, 2006
I have a carton of Orange Juice in my refrigerator that expires in early 2007. My question is where did 2006 go? I swear it just started. But I looked at my Froud Goblin calendar and it informed me that the year has almost past. (For those of you that have that Calendar, the odd person in the picture is Brian himself). They aren’t doing a Goblin calendar for 2007 so I am going with squished fairies and Cirque. We need at least two calendars around here to keep up with things.
I am going to put up some simple holiday lights today when I get to a point in the fluzzies that needs to give them some time to dry. I have a lot on my plate today but I think I can get it all done in time. Still deciding what to make for dinner. Chicken something I think.
The baseball owners are meeting in Florida this week and that means that Spring training is just around the corner. Both Atlanta and the Mets have made some good trades. The Yankees keep throwing money at people who may or may not be a good idea. A-Rod working out for y’all there?
Who would have thought at the beginning of the football season that the Jets would have a better record than the Giants at this point of the season? The Cowboy loss was a bad one due not to Eli who did a great job but the defense who handed the game over.
Ohio State plays Florida at the Tostitos BCS National Championship game. I would much rather that these two teams played in the Rose Bowl. It means more to me rather than some made up corporate name and game. I really didn’t think that Michigan and OSU would have two games this year.
I may put up the Birthday party pictures later today but not going to push myself to add something else to my day.
I am grateful for things that I can recycle into puppets.
I have no idea where 2006 has gone! I’m sure that it was only June yesterday. I can remember my Nana saying that the years go by faster as you get older, but this is just ridiculous.
At least I’ve made my Christmas cakes and one steamed pudding, although I have to make another pudding over the weekend, not to mention getting started on the gingerbread houses and making new curtains before the family come over for Christmas.
The screwy thing with the BCS Championship game is that our local group the runs the fiesta bowl is running that bowl as well as the normal Fiesta Bowl a week earlier as well as another bowl shortly before that, so Phoenix will have three different Bowls in 11 days.
With the BCS game, a local convention, DarkCon, is running the weekend prior, and their hotel first tried to get them to move it, since they can charge triple for the rooms above the con rate to the football fans. They couldn’t move the convenion since we had contracts with our main guest, Jewel Staite, and would likely lose her if it moved, especially since she’ll likely be starting work on Stargate Atlantis shortly afterwards.
They settled on a smaller room block, letting the hotel have rooms they could sell for $300 a night to the football fans (assuming they come). It will certainly be an interesting mix of people at the hotel that weekend.
