Cheers indeed, to all my dear friends out there! Here in NH, they're predicting wind chills down around -19 tonight, and at least one in our merry band is not feeling up to snuff, so it's looking as if it'll be a relatively low-key event tonight. We'll probably sneak outside (wearing EVERY SCRAP OF CLOTHING we collectively own) to set off a few fireworks, but other than that, I'm envisioning sitting around, imbibing and snacking, chatting, playing music, maybe doing some Tarot-card-o-rama, and conserving body heat... ;>
I'm grateful for many things this year, two of which are in this picture:
(my sweet husband and our new Suzuki)
...but I am also happy and grateful for old friends and new, as well as the opportunities, connections, and fun I feel are coming in 2009. So mote it be, and for us all.
Plus, we're only a few days from the start of Carnival season!
