The news of the moment?
We've got a kitten!
My father currently works with special-needs students, and one of his clients' families, I gather, had kittens to get rid of. He brought most of them to the shelter run by a friend's wife, but kept one--he says it's an early Christmas present. I am an absolute girl around cats--I adore them madly, and our little kitten is so bedimmed adorable: I think one would be hard-pressed to find someone who didn't go 'awww!' a little, at least inside, at the sight of him. He is perfectly black, down to his wee little nose; and tiny and soft and very curious and a little bit nervous just now.
Now the real test will be to see how he and our other cat, Roscoe, react to each other. Roscoe is a very mellow and friendly cat (bit of a pushover, really), and this kitty seems awfully quiet and friendly, too--we'll see.
Also, Wordie is the current Best Thing Ever. I am right here, and still sorting out categories, so it's a bit disorganised. But: egad! wordlists! Combining three of my favourite things: words, lists, and community! Squee!!

(Is it bad that this makes me so happy?)
But anyway, I just signed up (as 100indecisions again, but I figured it was appropriate this time) and have no idea what I'm doing. Um, yay?
