Happy New Year!
I realize I've been rather bad at updating lately, mostly because my life would be rather boring to read about. I work, I take Mom grocery shopping, I see Bailey- that's pretty much it.
Vaguely interesting things:
I gave Bailey a ride to the airport a little over a week ago, and then picked him up again this week. I'd never really driven anywhere as terrifying as SeaTac airport before, but I managed it like a champ. Had to blast the oldies station on my way home from taking there, though, or else I'd have drowsed off. And that's how I learned that Danger Zone is an oldies song.
And NYE was really fun. It was weird for me, though- I've always done the same thing forever and ever on New Year's Eve: stay at home, watch movies, blow stuff up, drink something alcohol at midnight with parents, write up an end of the year post for LJ (okay, so that's a more recent tradition), and go to bed. But this New Year's Eve, Bailey and I got dressed up fancy and went out dancing in Tacoma. Mostly it was awesome. The music was too loud, but then, it was always is, and I realized I really need a sports bra if I'm going to be dancing long periods- I had to take breaks not because I was physically tired, but because my chest was sore from constant movement. I had lemon drops and Bailey had beer and later, whiskey and when we got back to his place we watched Archer until I fell asleep, and then we slept like the dead until Bailey woke me up to tell me he'd made breakfast and we spent the first part of New Year's Day watching movies on his housemate's big comfy couch.
Then I spent the second half of the day thawing out the watering trough as best I could. Not fun, by the way.
So, end/beginning of the year inventory:
40 hour/week (plus) job
totally adorable boyfriend, currently in bearded mode
fantastic boots
possible cat allergy (the closer the cat sleeps to my face, the more congested I am in the morning)
way too cold outside weather
plans to travel to Europe in about 10 months
