Out for Dinner With Mal

Mal and I went to dinner at Pappadeaux last night. VERY yummy seafood place.

I didn't want to go out. I wasn't feeling very social, or hungry, or much like watching adorable happy holiday couples feeding each other shrimp. But Mal really wanted to go. And he said it would make me feel better.

He was right.

I do feel better.

And I have yummy leftover shrimp to eat while I watch this NEW blizzard blow in.

It's always good to see Mal. He had some other visiting to do, so I think this is going to be my only adventure with him this time around. Well... assuming he can actually get out of the airport for his flight on Saturday.

If not, you can always come back and stay here as long as you want, Mal! I'd even share my leftover shrimp!

What I Got for Christmas

For Christmas, I got dumped.

Well, everyone is saying it was really a mutual thing. And I guess it was.

If mutual is her saying "I need space" and my saying "Um, okay."

After Rabbit left, Kumo assurred me that she would ALWAYS be here.

Oh, good.

So I've been trying to figure out how to post about this, and Syri, my muse, has really been encouraging me to write about it. But I figure nobody wants to hear the whining of a newly single bunny, so I've been dragging my paws and not posting. But now you know.

Good things about the holiday - Wendy got me a bunch of cool books, I got Wendy a couple of books I know she really wanted. I did finally get a bed (Rabbit got it for me, so I need to decide what I want to do about that. Any of you who have ever been dumped, but who got a big present right before, from the dumper, will understand my dilemma). Mal and his girlfriend, Serenity, are in town. It's been great hanging out with Mal again.

Wendy and I have been talking a lot, and I hadn't realized how much I'd lost touch with her while I was involved with Rabbit.

I lost touch with a lot of things.

So in the end, maybe it's all for the best. I start 2007 as a bachelor bunny, and I kind of like that. Wendy says that if there's not a blizzard, we'll go catch some live music on New Years Eve, and I think that would be great. Having a girlfriend who didn't leave the house, well... yeah. I haven't gotten out much either.

So 2007, here we come. A sadder, but wiser bunny, back out in the world.

Yeah, it's all good.

More Tree Trimming with Wendy's Mom

Rabbit and I took Lenore and wandered over to Wendy's mom's house to help with tree trimming. It was a lot of fun!

Rabbit brought a lot of festive decorations.

Which it turns out were NOT for the tree.

Lenore was a lot of help. What a sweet kid. She carried a lot of stuff, and helped us unpack the ornaments.

Rabbit said she didn't need a stepladder...

When we were done decorating, we all sat down and watched "Silent Hill". Because nothing says "Merry Christmas" like watching a town full of the damned... um... well, actually Rabbit really wanted to see it, and so did Wendy's mom. We only covered Lenore's eyes twice, and she said it really wasn't that scary. Actually, she had a different take on the movie than I would've thought. When we were talking about it at the end, she asked if we really thought someone would go through all that trouble for a child that wasn't theirs. Like people we know. Rabbit and I said that we sure thought so, and she just kind of nodded and got very thoughtful. (shrug)

Kids.

Anyway, the movie was great, and the tree turned out beautiful!

Many thanks to Wendy's Mom, Karen, for letting us come help her decorate her tree! Thanks, Karen!
