If you can read this, it's because I have you as a friend. There is a *damn* good reason for this, which I hope will become abundantly clear.
So - yes, seven years ago today, I started this blog. Sometimes it seems like seven minutes, other times it seems like seventy years;) Even so, I just want to make a note of this achievement and look back (and look forwards) at the year gone by.
One of the big events of the year gone by was the arrival the
Shinzon Monster AKA my nephew. He's six months old tomorrow and he's... well... have a look for yourself:
I don't know if you can see it but his onesie says 'Hungry Monster' - he's also a very *chatty* monster as well. It's all 'babble' at the moment (or rather my babel fish cannot translate 'baby') but I get the impression that he's inherited the Monster ability to talk. As well as the desire to stand up rather than sit up... Heavens only knows what he's going to be like when he gets to the year mark!
Why yes, this will be used as blackmail material! After all, what is the point in being an auntie if you can't embarrass the hell out of said nephew in years to come? After all, *everyone* has a photo of them being bathed in the kitchen sink... Or is that just a Monster tradition?
