Here are some pictures of me and Tim Tam, taken by Stephen. :)

Tim Tam was adopted on March 17, 2007. He died on December 27, 2007. He was my best friend. I miss him very much.

Meanwhile, I found this article that explains why it's so important to have pets.

So I just read this article about how Sanrio is trying to market Hello Kitty to young men. I'm not exactly sure what "young men" means, but I guess it could mean anything from 12 to 30. I especially liked this quote:

"Young men these days grew up with character goods," said Tohmatsu. "That generation feels no embarrassment about wearing Hello Kitty."

So, I've decided that since I'm now in my 40s (YIKES!), it's time for God to put Mr. Right in my path. I've pretty much given up on it, for the most part, but there's always a part of me that thinks something else might happen. *sigh*

Anyway, I found this article on MSN pretty interesting. I may even take the advice of some of the ideas.

I especially liked . . .

1) Throw a party.
3) Get set up.
10) Give back.
11) Find extra-curricular activities.
14) Take a night class.
20) Turn up the kitchen heat.
21) Always look your best.
22) Know what you want.
24) Be your best self.
25) Write your own commercial.
26) Forgive yourself.
28) Reinvent yourself.
29) Be positive.
31) Visualize what you want.

Not sure if any of these will work, but hey, it's worth a shot. And as for #3, anybody out there listening???
