HAPPY NEW YEAR!

my book was destroyed by careless computer accident. it was uptight anyway.

haven't found the motivation to start again, though writing becomes more and more appealing.

love to you!

I'm at Auntie Fumi's house for the New Year celebration (she has since stopped hosting them). I think her furniture could be accurately described as "retro." Really retro.

I think I'm ready to go back to work. Being a stay at home mom is not for me... well, as long as the daycare situation is good I guess.

Regarding Soo:

It's true. If you plan to visit her blogs again, best to bring a sponge and some bleach.

Dear Susanna,

It's been quite a while, and nobody's heard from you in weeks. We are all praying for you, and earnestly hoping that you are not dead, for yours sake as well as for ours. Yours was the only voice of reason in the comment section of my blog, and in your absence, Brian has taken the liberty of shaking out my bloggae, undoing his zipper, and nutting all over it. This is, of course, after he's picked out the choicest nuggets from his rear end and flicked them onto its virtual pages.

Please come back to us, Susanna. Please.

Fondly,
Soo J. Kim

Urga Burga chortle-ho!

Certainly! And I'll wear a puffy white hat and sneeze out a moustache. (It's a recent idea of mine and Honey's that if he sneezes hard enough, he'll blow out a moustache through his nose. Actually, he already has a moustache, but I don't, so I don't know why I shouldn't try.)

Thanks, Mama!

I'll try not to shoot my eye out, but as the entire point of Saturday will be to shoot somebody else's eye out, I can't guarantee that somebody won't lose an eye by my hand.
