Happy New Year - WOOT!

I introduced my wife's old boss to the word 'woot' on Saturday when we were at their house drinking expensive wine. It was really funny to see a short, bespectacled Ukranian man shouting "WOOT!!!" every two minutes. I don't think that will ever get old.

We had a great Christmas, lots of family, lots of presents (for Leita at least), but by the end of the holiday season (essentially late last week) we felt so exhausted and drained that we're going to need about three weekends of pure alone time to get back to normal. And I think we have plans for all but one of the next four weekends.... damn. Not that I don't want to see people, just that I feel wiped and need some chillin' time to relax with my wife and our family.

Oh, and we got a dog last week, his name is Jake. He is an 8 week old mini-daschund / pom cross, rust in colour (I think) and weighs 1.7 kg (3.7 lb). He is SO small! This weekend he learned to climb up stairs, but still can't go down unless he's on the very last step. I'll try and get some pictures of him and the cats (Thor and Odin) on here when I remember.

Anyway, that's all I've got right now. Oh yeah, and we started kickboxing before Christmas, so as of tonight I vow to go at least three times a week (out of a possible four). Wish me luck!
