I'm being tagged all over the place so thought I'd better get my butt into gear on this one, but first I've got to tell you about my current brilliant idea.

Miniature cows.

I was going to get one as a pet then I realised I could milk it but my Ma said I need to get it knocked up to get milk so BINGO! Cattle breeding. I know heaps about breeding cows on account of my grandad had mad cow farming skillz. I know you can't let them eat clover which is a total pain cos our backyard is full of the stuff and that they get mastitis so you have to rub stuff on their teats. My sister's offered to handle the AI and birthing parts of it on account of 'it's fun' (her words, not mine).

I figure I can hide my cows in the laundry when the landlord comes over and when the backyard is bare of feed, I can talk them grazing along the Merri Creek. I will put them on a lead.

The only setbacks are I can only find stuff on Minature Herefords and I totally want a Fresian since I have the outfit to go with it and I need $20,000 to get my first head of cow. Plus I need a totally cute cowherding outfit, something like the awesome cowgirl costume I had as a kid I'm thinking. Plus some electric fencing. I don't really need that but it would be hella amusing when the housemates go near the cows.

I'm going to call my first one Moona Lisa.

Okay Michelle tagged me for my top five Christmas songs which is hard for me because I had Christmas songs mostly. Especailly Last Christmas by Wham! That song doesn't make sense. It's like 'Last Christmas I gave you my heart, the very next day you gave it away. This year to save me from tears, going to give it to someone better...' or something like that. But if you gave something away last year, you don't have to give away this year, unless you totally bin-scabbed it. Actually I could totally believe bin scabbing of George Michael.

1. Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt. I think Kylie did a cover of this a few years ago but - boo hiss, Kylie. Btw I read in the paper yesterday that Dannii is going to be hosting a talent reality show soon. I nearly exploded from the irony. But Eartha rocks and so does this song.
2. Walking In My Winter Wonderland - because you can sing walking in my winter underwear instead and it's funny.
3. And so this is Christmas, War is Over... whatever, you know that song by John Lennon.
4. The Final Countdown by Europe
5. That Christmas Song by Kevin Bloody Wilson

The only time I ever owned any Christmas music was Andrew's first Christmas. I lived in Hobart and had to run into the city and do some last minute shopping before driving to the other end of the state. When I got home, Andrew had a Christmas tape in his pram! Theiving lil bugger. I didn't have time to return it so setting him on a life of crime.

3. Raisin/fruit toast - only if it's the fancy stuff with big hunks of dried apricot and stuff like that in it.
4. Apricots at the moment, and pink lady apples and nectarines and strawberries and raspberries and plums and watermelon. Let's just say "fruit". I think that covers it.
