Thoughts of Love.
must watch TV: Arrested Development. Too Funny!!
must watch movie: Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. GO SEE IT!! You WILL love it!
Asking for prayers and/or positive energy for a friend here in Australia. Her boyfriend was on a diving trip in Thailand and is among the missing people who were victims of the earthquake and tsunami in that region. There’s been encouraging word-of-mouth about his group, but there has been no contact with him, nor specific information about him yet.
Cam and I spent a good portion of today in bed, talking and cuddling, and talking to friends and family on the phone.
I’ll post a few beautiful pictures from the past couple of days. We are dog-sitting Goldie till New Year’s Eve while his family is in Vietnam. So when we went to see our nieces, Ebony, Brooke, and Madison yesterday, Goldie got a whole lotta extra love. As Cameron said, “He has the patience of Job!”
Gus was in the house some of the time, but as he’s older (going on 13!!) and wiser to the chaos factor, he preferred the calm and beauty of the backyard most of the time.
Goldie loved the attention, yet was ready to go home and sleep soundly after all the excitement of the day!:
Madison meets Goldie.
Brooke and Madison opening gifts.
Ebony ..being ..good.
Cam and Eb with her gift from my family. His name evolved from “Tubby” to “Pepi” to “Pepsi” in under 2 minutes.
Eb, Pepsi, Cam, and Britney.
Goldie and his loyal fans.
About his 60th hug that day.
~Wishing you all peace, health and love.~
UPDATE: 29-12-04
Good news!! Marco has been found, alive and well..and unaware of the whole thing, till he came up from diving and someone handed him a phone! Luckily, his group had been in a pocket of calm. There were so many other divers that were not so lucky. We’re all thankful and very relieved!

[...] I’ve just been ultra lazy with this blog. And away for the past few days playing games of Mad Libs and Rummikub, getting my face painted, taking walks to the park, and doing the hair of our super silly, excitable and wonderful niece Ebony, while she’s on school holidays. Cameron and I had lots of fun and I know she did too! [...]
