Geeky New Year
Thomas skyped Phillip and Marion to two New Year's parties--he showed them around JonThomme and Eva's place (formerly their place), and they showed us around the (large!) house in Wisconsin, and alarmed us with the snow in the driveway and piled up on the car. It was nice to see them.
Both parties were great--it's good to see the Reams settled in, and it's good to be with lots of friends.
This year I realized that one of the interesting side-effects to having your wedding anniversary on New Year's Eve is that you're likely to be with a number of people who were at your wedding, which is kind of nifty.
So New Year's Day I dragged out of bed at 11:30 and watched the Rose Parade (which seemed unusually long this year). Made a second attempt at fabric for 12th Night (first attempt not happy-making in good light), and worked on cleaning up the sewing room a bit. Which would be easier if the places I needed to put things weren't buried in the garage. Nevertheless, cleared the way between the filing cabinet and the stack of filing, so the next step is obvious.
No New Year resolutions per se, but I'm starting over on the 101 things in 1001 days (signed onto the community for 15 minutes, but was overwhelmed by the entries), and I'm going to get my A&S 50 list going, too. There will undoubtedly be overlap....
