alanajoli | New Year, Tabs, and Other Randoms

Happy New Year/Spring Festival! I picked up my Year of the Ox stamps at the post office last week. They always do something pretty and fun to mark the holiday, and I get to stick them on envelopes to extend the new year for a good couple of months.

I mostly use Google Chrome on my desktop, and it can have an amazing number of tabs open at once. This is the first time I think I've only been able to see the icons for each page.

Today was an amazingly busy day, in part because I made the silly decision to relax this weekend instead of getting ahead on my deadlines for this week. I did pop by the animal shelter today to find out what the requirements are for adopting (in part inspired by

publius513, who now has a beautiful feline addition to her family). Our local shelter is on petfinder, so I can keep track of the potential adoptees as they come up. We're really thinking about a critter for now, rather than a cat, since we have many allergic friends (although we are both cat people). But to tide us over in the pet department, a rat would be a fun companion, and they're very smart (but sadly, rarely up for adoption).
