New Year, Same Old Cartoon

In case you've been under a rock for the last few days, it's 2011. I really don't like this number. Can we just skip to 2012? 2011 is awkward to say, write and think. Maybe I'll get used to it.

I'm sure you're waiting for some earth shattering recap of my New Years celebration. If you're waiting for that, you're new here and you know nothing about me.

I fell asleep watching Andy's New Year special on Bravo and woke up around 1:20, went back to bed and woke up around 10 Saturday morning. I know right? It's too much fun to handle being me.

Maybe I'm just no fun, but the whole New Year's thing has always eluded me. I don't get what the big deal is. I just usually wake up and turn my calendar to January and start over with my countdown to Christmas...lol.

The most fun I had over the weekend was introducing Ben to my favorite childhood cartoon...."Dude Duck"....or as it was always known to me "The Horse." When I was very small my mom taped "Old Yeller" and a Disney special of cartoons. Literally everywhere I went I took that tape with me. If we forgot it at my grandparent's, mom went back to get it. It's so neat to watch the cartoon again with Ben, who incidentally reminds me of Arliss from Old Yeller.



He loved it and watched it several times. Want to see it? Here you go.



In case you're wondering, yes, I still have my original 25 year old VHS. Yes, I still watch it on occasion. What can I say? I love Donald Duck and there's finally someone else in the family who loves him as much as I do.
