My days of going out on New Years Eve are long gone. Today I went for a walk (cut short due to rain), organized my writing goals for 2023 with the help of persnickett, and am in the midst of doing multiple loads of laundry and pre-cooking all the chicken I bought the other day. Later I will probably work on my jigsaw puzzle. Oh, the exciting life I lead ( Read more... )

Well, I spent yesterday and part of today feeling just rotten, which just totally FITS with the ending of this completely shitty year. But I started feeling better around dinner time, which is ALSO fitting since 2021 is going to be such a better year. It is, right? We have to have turned the corner, right? Vaccines are being rolled out as we speak ( Read more... )

Here's the last three days of Photo A Day 2013. SUCCESS.

Alllllmost made my 50-movies-in-2012 goal. SO CLOSE.

( Last 3 films, and not a Reedus in sight. Got some zombies, though. )

It's 2012 wheee! Time to say good-bye to another year. I lucked out again this year -- my boss must really like me -- and only had to be at work until 11pm. This meant I missed the craziness of after-midnight-drunk-people-calling-for-taxis and the-phone-does-not-stop-ringing-until-5am time, hallelujah! So I am home with a frosty breezer and some ( Read more... )

A New Year is upon us. HAPPY NEW YEAR ( Read more... )

Another year already come and gone. This year had a lot of ups and downs for me, but I tend to be a positive person and thinking back, it's kind of hard to remember the really dark times at the beginning of the year. I tend to focus on the good stuff! Lots of fun adventures with Krystle. Day or weekend trips to Toronto, Niagara Falls, Buffalo. ( Read more... )

Hello my flist. I hope you all had a fabulous time ushering in the New Year. I spent the early afternoon vomiting (and, er, other things) every 10 minutes for 3.5 hours straight. By the end I called my sister because I was spitting up blood and was kind of freaking out. She assured me that my constant retching had 'merely' (MERELY?) burst some ( Read more... )

I... I slept through New Years Eve.

BUT! I did wake up at 12:30am, and came online, and found joesther and dianaryan online as well. So we chatted, and then Jo went to bed, and dianaryan and I spent the remaining hours leading up to her Hawaiian New Years Eve chatting on IM while she wrote and I worked on webpages. That sounds like the height of geekdom, and it was ( Read more... )

Next year, if I say that I am going to work on New Years Eve, please remind me that it is a baaaad idea.

On the plus side, I wore my Schmoop Queen tiara to work and I looked fabulous, dahling. I had eighty bajillion smoke breaks (because there comes a point when there are 200 trips on the board, zero drivers booked in because they are all ( Read more... )
