Happy New Year's Eve

Life is quiet here in the zoo, we are all recovering from the whirl wind that was the month before Christmas and the marathon of Christmas week. Its been pajamas day every day this week, the girls love it and have been playing wii and with their My Little Ponies like crazy, they only change into clean pj's and dress up dresses when they are asked or as the occasion demands.

Personally I have been living in Cranford, my new book and the PBS Masterpiece Theater movie, and I love it. If you are not familiar with the series or more importantly the book RUN, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore and buy this book (It's a keeper) by Elizabeth Gaskell! Its all about the small town of Cranford and the ladies that inhabit it.

Cranford is such a good book of true feminism done right, the women are strong, opinionated, kind, soft, loving, and hilarious. I am charmed by it. Almost as good is the PBS series staring Dame Judy Dench, love her, just be warned you will cry just as much as you laugh. Just wait until you see the cow in pj's, or Miss Matty's romance. If you want to see it full episodes are on the PBS web site, it is really too good to miss!

Have a very Happy New Year's Eve and stay safe tonight, personally we will be staying in, eating egg rolls and toasting the New Year in with our little darlings. I can't think of a better way to celebrate.
