Things to accomplish in 2009

I'm trying to work on a list of things I need to accomplish in 2009. So here goes:

1. Dropping 20 pounds. This is serious. I'm a beached whale. 

2. When I'm finally ready; getting a new pet. It's too damn lonely around here.

3. Save more! $20 into the savings account bi-weekly, NO MATTER WHAT. 

Only three things so far, but it's not 2009 yet! I'll update as it gets into the new year. 

Cleo

I'm still grieving over Cleo. Maybe it's stupid. I dunno. It's so lonely without somebody to greet me at the door or talk to me at night. (Yes. I did talk to him.)  It's just sad. He was 14ish years old. He had a good like. I'm just selfish and want him back... Sigh.

The Cat Hospital is supposed to call whenever his ashes are ready to be picked up. I had him Creamated. Which was even more difficult then I ever thought. Sitting in the hospital deciding how you were going to bury your cat: In a random grave somewhere in Lexington or creamation. I was told I could keep his body and take with me to bury wherever I would like. That just made me nervous. Having my Cleo's body just in the trunk of my car. Where would you bury him? I couldn't deal with all that anyway.  He'll be in a little wooden box, someday soon, sitting by my TV. Strange? Maybe. But he was my buddy.
