I was just talking to someone about how we all like to end each year with a recap--whether it be with a lengthy letter in our Christmas cards or just looking over old photos with friends or family. The news channels do their own version of this by showing all the major disasters, catastrophies, and tragedies.
I will do neither. I will just keep hoping that next year is a little nicer. Okay, a lot nicer. Not just for me, but for many people. I'm so sad to hear friends open up and admit that they're sad/anxious/stressed/angry/scared.
I want all these heavy hearts to be carefree and fun loving again. I want the evil people responsible for this misery to die a terribly strange death. Really. Those bumper stickers from a while ago, "Mean People Suck," I agree with that completely.
I'm ready for 2011.

Foggy Friday
We really don't get variances in our weather here too often, so the arrival of sprinkling rain yesterday and fog today was cause for celebration.
I got out of bed at 6am, and as I was looking out of the kitchen window waiting for my espresso machine to warm up, I saw the fog creeping up from the lake.
How exciting!!
As I was waiting for the car to get warmed up, I used my flash on the camera so you could see the fog swirling around me. It was like a ghost or something.
This is the view from the side of the house. There's a wash there with trees but you can't see much with the fog. FOG!!
This is looking down toward the lake on Daytona Avenue.
I made it down to the lake after I dropped Shay at school, (and by the way he was truly excited about the fog, which is phenomenal--you can't get a 13 year old boy excited about weather occurrences too easily)
normally there's mountains out there--they're all covered up.
This is the sun attempting to show itself, I'm standing near Body Beach.

Other People's Dogs
The next door neighbor has a very funny looking little dog, and she reminds me of an alien.
When she is outside, she comes marching over to me, as if I'm going to back away from the BEAST.
Then there's Heather and Kenny's dog. He's a chihuaha but he has the build and color of a big red pit bull:
I probably could've fixed his eyes in the picture but I think he's funnier looking that way.
Then there's JD, who belongs to one of my patients. He came from the pound, and is likely a miniature pincher. This isn't a very flattering photo of him, because he was a little excited at the moment:
He calmed down pretty quick when he realized there was photos...
