Here's to hoping 2011 is better than 2010

So yesterday morning was beautiful, sunny and cold. A really good start to the new year. Isaac and I went to have breakfast in La Conner and on the way back I spotted some bald eagles. BALD EAGLES. So Isaac pulled over to the side of the road so I could take pictures. There were two of them so I'm taking that as good luck for Isaac and I for this next year. We then also saw a whole migration of birds up the road. The flock was huge and they were still flying in.

Apparently I will be no less clumsy though because later in the day I slipped on our deck (it was icy) as I was trying to get to my car faster than Isaac so I could drive. Isaac was insisting on driving and I really wanted to so I was trying to beat him there. (I know, I'm so mature) Isaac said it scared him when I slipped and fell into the gravel but I don't really understand that. I mean how long have we been together? I would expect him to get worried on a day that I somehow don't try to maim myself. Later I tried to show him how I skinned up my knee and he said he didn't want to see it. :(

And then today I went to Archie Mcphee's and got these. I love them.

But these might be fun too.

These ones seem kinda tame for party rats.
