HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I must say, this has been one of the better starts to a year I've had in a while. I'm single, my house is a MESS, my dog needs a bath and I'm overworked- but I'm happy. Happier than I've been in a very very long time. After work last night I flaked out on several NYE dinner/party invites to take a long, hot, wonderful bath while laughing hysterically and reading the second half of Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And You Can Too!)  - then I spent an hour on the phone with Kat catching up (complete with an unannounced visitor wondering why I hadn't made a public appearance by 9:30, he was greeted with me in a towel going ''YOU CAN'T COME IN'' and slamming the door in his face), and then I straightened my hair and put on makeup and found some dress pants and a classy-type bar shirt and showing up at my 2nd most favourite place in the world: The Boot (my bed being my FAVOURITE place...) - this was enjoyable, I ended up on the other side of the bar for a couple hours helping the owner because the barmaid is a 19 year old airhead who got too drunk to function, it was just the change of pace I needed- plus it allowed me to be at the bar, and NOT get completely smashed. Good times! Rang in the new year, waiting for the crowd to dissipate and then headed home. Goodnight! Today was a bit of a lazy day, I started a BUNCH of things and left to them to lie, not really sure why, just lacking interest and motivation. *shrug* I just got home from a wonderful dinner with Karen's family, and I've filled in a few memes for your reading enjoyment.

1.) Where did you ring in 2008?
At home, sleeping alone on my couch while Jarrad all but died of some weird flu+alcohol poisoning in my bed...

2.) What was your status by Valentine's Day?
Still single! Go figure!

HEYLL NO

4.) How did you earn your keep?
I worked my ass off in the store, and was well rewarded for doing so!

5.) Did you ever have to go to the hospital?
I actually think this was a hospital-free year!

6.) Did you have an encounter with the police?
Yes, I got pulled over for speeding once, got out of that ticket by vomitting on the police man. He thought I was sick, I was actually still drunk at 8am.

7.) Where did you go on vacation?
Toronto. Yeah, I know, gag me with a stick! (no offense to the wonderful friends I have there!) This year is already looking up, minimum two trips south plus my cousin's wedding in San Diego!

8.) What did you purchase that was over $500?
My washer and dryer (for teh win!!) and combined clothing shopping sprees- Hello: Ricky's & Tall Girl!! I'm still paying that MC bill off...

9.) Did you know anybody who got married?
I make wedding rings for a living, I know a ton! Nobody important coming to mind, however.

10.) Did you know anybody who passed away?
Thankfully, no one close to me died this year, although Randy came really fucking close

Toby Keith - AKA Captain America!

15.) Are you registered to vote?

17.) Where do you live now?
In my house- same one I've lived in for OVER 2 years!! How exciting!

18.) Describe your birthday-
Sandra couldn't make it because of a snowstorm, but 24 of us went to a mexican restaurant in the middle of nowhere, and none of them actually mattered.

19.) What's the one thing you thought you would never do but did in 2008?
Scott... again... colossal mistakes we make... again and again!

20.) What is one thing you regretted this year?
Scott... again and again! HAH!

21.) What's something you learned about yourself?
I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, and I'm quite intolerant.

22.) Any new additions to your family?
No, I'm assuming I'll be the next one to add to my family, but my 15 year old cousin is probably more likely to get knocked up...

I've already forgotten it!
