My New Baby!!!!

You know I love my chinchilla. And, I mean :heartbeat: :heartbeat: my chinchilla (no, Joe, this is NOT a euphemism for ANYTHING other than my beloved pet).

And, yet, I’ve finally come full circle. My sister called me on Saturday to tell me that she had something for me.

This:

I would like to introduce you to Liza Jane. Isn’t she the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen? Truthfully, she is about the size of one of my hands and has the biggest eyes (and ears unfortunately) you’ve ever seen. I :heartbeat: her!!

More pics here!

This is just about the best I can do for a post right now. Ethan has passed along the lovely cold he had last week to both Maggie and I. Maggie with a cold is like a dog with a bad crack habit, only most likely, the dog is housebroken.

I kid… Maggie is housebroken. No really, I swear. But, the rest of it is true, unfortunately. As I type this Liza just climbed up my pajama leg because Maggie came running through the room like… well, a monkey on crack. I know, I know, I said dog before, but honestly, monkey is probably more accurate.

So Liza is clinging right about knee height and is apparently trying to blend in with my flannel, Christmas pj pants. I can’t swear, but I think she’s holding her breath too. Poor thing probably thinks she was adopted to be the mascot of a sanitarium or something.

Ethan is listening to some God-awful music and by “God Awful” I mean any music that is not Christmas music. Hey… I held out until AFTER Halloween!!! Mike is in the kitchen and I distinctly heard him sing, “Oh the weather outside is frightful…” to which Ethan said, “You’ve gotten to him too, haven’t you?!?!?!?!?” *insert horrified look*

I’ve now decided I am going to turn Liza into a supreme ninja kitty so she can take out Ethan and his evil bitch cat, Molly.
