Hello. It's Belinda.
I'd like to wish everyone a "Happy First Chew."
That's the holiday I invented in last week's blog. I wrote about the ways rabbits like to celebrate the new year. By rabbits I mean me and Little Fang.
You can read all about that here.
How were your holidays? Did Santa bring you any new toys or snacks?
Let me know in the comments. Or email me at belinda@smallpetselect.com.
Send a picture if you have one.
If you think I'm using my blog and work email to "socialize" I'm not. This is what they call "market research."
Just kidding. I just want to talk about food.
As usual everyone here had a nice stack of goodies under the tree. Even certain rabbits who don't deserve it.
My roommate knows what we like.
So does Josh from the warehouse. He always remembers me on holidays. I'm so grateful for everything I get.
OK so now I need to talk about business.
I planned to take a lot of time off for the holidays. Didn't want to think about deadlines or reports for a few weeks. Just get my blogs done and then goof off.
There's nothing wrong with that.
For the first few days it went fine. I spent a lot of time with my roommate in the living room. Watching TV from my rug by the couch.
I like an old-timey show called "Vega$" with detective Dan Tanna. It's about crooks in Las Vegas.
I also like that show with the man painting trees and clouds. "Bob Ross."
Not a lot of action but that's why I like it. Puts me to sleep.
One afternoon, my roommate wanted to watch a game show. That's where people have to solve puzzles to win prizes.
She found one and next thing you know she's yelling letters at the TV. The game show people can't hear you by the way. You can just relax on the couch and think the letters instead of saying them out loud.
I was stretched out along the wall. I had just finished a "side dish" of oat hay. There was a Woodland Loop stashed behind the couch. I knew it was there.
Suddenly my roommate turned and leaned halfway off the cushions so she could see me.
"Belinda! This show reminds me. I wanted to ask you something."
Then she said it.
"Did you pick a word for 2025?"
I froze.
"I mean for your job."
I didn't move. She watched me for the longest time.
"Let me know if you need my help."
Then she rolled back up onto the couch. Like nothing happened.
Meanwhile my mind was racing so fast.
Because the answer is no, I don't have a word for the year.
In fact I don't know what that means. "Word for the year."
Come on. I have a lot of words. For example in my blogs.
So as usual I have to ask all of you, my friends. Which is a little embarrassing but I don't have a choice.
Do you have a word for 2025?
What do you do with it?
Let me know in the comments.
Also if you have one I can use, send that to me too.
As I mentioned last week, I have a lot of good things planned for 2025.
But I can't do anything until I have my word.
Sincerely,
Belinda
