On New Year's Eve, we went over to a friend's house to celebrate, and Camille met a kitty.

| Kinda like this. |
The following videos chronicle the kitty's five-minute personal hell.
Pretty freakin' cute, if you ask me!

Obligatory New Year's Post
Yeah, yeah, I know it's January 3rd!
Happy New Year, and all that noise. Resolutions, blah blah blah. They're the same as every year: be better this year than you were last year. I'll try to get on that!
I'm most excited about January because now we get to start looking for A HOUSE!
That's right, peoples. Jake and I are buying a house here in the near future. Which is pretty awesome, because I''m really not a super big fan of our current residence.
So stand by for the Adventures of House Hunting, and also Ideas I Have For Remodeling.
Oh yeah, and have a happy new year, too. :)

Camille and the Animal Noises
Camille's favorite game to play in the car is the Animal Noises game. I ask her, "Camille, what does the [insert animal here] say?" and she tells me what the animal says.
So far, she knows the following:
Dog ("ffff" as in the latter part of "woof")
Cat ("reowr")
Cow ("mmmmm")
Snake ("sssssss")
Bear ("raaaaaarrrr!")
Horse ("pppbbbtttttt")
Fish ("blub blub blub")
Bird ("twoo twoo twoo")
Santa ("ho ho" just twice)
Yeah, Santa isn't technically an animal, but it's Christmas so what the hell?!
I feel like I'm forgetting something. Meh.
Her cousin does an impression of Camille. If you ask him, "what does Camille say?" he'll go, "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
I took some video of Camille showcasing her talents. I tried to do it while she sat in front of the Christmas tree, but she wanted to sit on my lap instead. Then she ignored me. Kids these days.

Bleeehhhhhh...
I haven't blogged lately at all, and I'm sorry about that. It's been a rough couple of weeks.
About two weeks ago, I woke up one morning to discover I had slept weird on my neck. I figured it would right itself within a couple of days, like it always does. Well, it didn't go away within a couple of days. A week after it started hurting, Jake finally got tired of me whining and he booked me a massage (which was awesome!). However, the massage didn't get rid of the pain completely. It was still waking me up at night and making me afraid to drive (because I couldn't turn my head far enough to check my blind spot). I bit the bullet and started taking ibuprofen to make the pain manageable so I could actually DO STUFF.
Then the headaches started.
I've had horrible pounding vicegrip headaches for the past four days, and today is shaping up to be just as headachey as yesterday. Ibuprofen for breakfast? Don't mind if I do.
I took my algebra final on Tuesday, and got an A overall. Hooray! The final was one reason I started downing painkillers. It's really hard to concentrate when it feels like an angry midget is engaging in baseball bat therapy inside your head.
Now that school is all done, I can concentrate on completing Christmas presents. I still have to finish a cross-stitch (ran out of thread, so I have to go get more bleehhh) and finish a few crocheted items.
I finally remembered to get Christmas cards made. I need to pick them up today at noon. I hope Camille gets up from her nap before then. She's been sleeping for like 5 hours at a time in the morning lately, but only on days when I want to go shopping or something. When I want to stay in and just relax, she's got so much energy she bounces off the ceiling.
NaNoWriMo ended two weeks ago, and I've spent the time since then trying to finish the novel. 50,000 words wasn't even half of my novel. It seems like it gets longer every time I look at it. Normally I'd say that's a good thing, but the new stuff isn't advancing the story as much as I need it to. I think I'm focusing too much on character development and not enough on moving the story along. Le sigh.
Well that's enough from me. I need to root around in the kitchen and try to find something appealing to eat. The headaches and neck pain have sapped my appetite lately (except for goldfish crackers, apparently).
If you do a Google search for the phrase "I love the fishes cause they're so delicious," you'll get this ONE picture of goldfish crackers. The other pictures are about Troll dolls, miscarriages, and Victoria Beckham.
The Internet is a weird place.

Santa is Scary
Friday night, we went to a holiday party at Jake's work, and they had a Santa for the kids!
Camille was not impressed.
