First happiness of 2009: Spending the first hour of 2009 with dear friends that we've made up here in B-lo, drinking Poinsettas and playing Spite and Malice and Dicecapades. It was amazing spending the evening with much laughter and making some amazing spinach-artichoke dip and chili-cheese dip. And, I actually was awake for work this morning.
And Katie and I got to spend some wonderful time together this afternoon.
Oh! And I have developed my own recipe for fajitas which is DELICIOUS! I've written down the recipe and been able to reproduce it twice in two weeks. It's even good as leftovers when I take it to work.
I'm really tired right now, so I'm going to hit the sack. But I'm glad I had time to get on LJ on the first day of the year (even though it's 50-some minutes from ending already).
If I make any resolutions, it'll be to try to post at least something happy any time I have the time to get on here. It is so easy to overlook the good things sometimes, and I want to try to get better at accepting the challenges and hardships and finding happiness in them despite the difficulty.
