Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a good New Year's celebration going on. I spent it with the family pretty low key which was good. Although I did feel like I was in the middle of a war zone. See, all around me (various neighbors on all sides) people had their homestyle firework presentations going on. They'd been blowing up firecrackers, cherry bombs, other bigger things that go BOOM and fireworks in general since early that afternoon all the way through the wee hours of the new year. At one point I went outside to look at all the pretty colors and there was so much residue smoke that you couldn't see the night sky.

The funniest thing of the night had to have been compliments of Kobe. Kobe is our Yorkie dog. As everyone knows, dogs get very nervous and jumpy during the explosion extravaganza that is pretty much all of the holiday season. So at one point, I openned the fridge at the same time a string of loud BOOMS went off. What did Kobe do?

He went straight into the fridge and sat there!

I guess he was trying to find somewhere to hide and of course, the fridge is an excellent place to hide. :)
