Green Room - Break - Day 11

[clauderainsrm]

Welcome to 2012!!

For me, 2011 had its ups and downs, but for the most part was very much up! I started last season's New Year (and on my facebook!) with the Hold Steady song "A Positive Jam"! I'm enough of a superstitious traditionalist that I'm not going to mess with what is working

Happy 2012 everyone!!!

I have to stop stalling and go take down the trees.

So far I'm liking 2012 but honestly all I've done is watch The Empire Strikes Back and sit on my bed and read LJ before that I walked a puppy and drank a cup of tea. We slept in.

2012 was going relatively OK until I came home from work to find a patchwork of paper towels all over the living room. Apparently one of the Kidz decided to hork this morning. I'm just glad I wasn't here when it happened!

It's in the 50s here. I've got all the windows open. Might as well take advantage of it since it's supposed to be below freezing for the remainder of the week :brr:

When the puppy pees on the floor, he will also attempt to steal and RUN away with the paper towels you are using to clean up. I'm so tired of cleaning up pet mess.

LOL -- Ember used to do that! Both of them now keep clear of the entire room. Speaking of which...where are they? :looks around:

After an enjoyable evening leading up to the new year, and a hectic ringing in of the new year, I slept for a solid ten hours. Impressive! Almost time to start packing things up for the return from exciting Seattle to the boring midwest and immediately jumping back into work. It's been a load of fun, even with 7 people including 4 with picky habits (including myself)

Looking very much forward to picking Idol back up again, and I wish I had been able to work on the free topics, but I was having too much fun romping around Seattle :P

Bonne Annee, GR!

I need to sleep for like 10 hours (or more) to catch up after my trip. I did the opposite of you though, I took my vacation to the boring Midwest and back on the west coast now :)

NYE was awesome! Just spent it with my family, but we rang in the new year (and the three hours before that) with an impromptu concert of musical theatre songs (all with CD backing).

now it is Jan 2nd and I am getting ready to get organised!

[pixiebelle]

Yay for getting organized! Java helped me organize my kitchen yesterday with new stuff I got for Christmas. He's been feeling extra OCD and I decided to let him do his thing!

Two days? TWO DAYS??? I might have to use my bye this week - I have some stuff I need to get written for deadlines and if I allow Idol to take over my creative world, I won't have a chance of making it.

Funny how a couple of weeks off makes you all slack :oP

I got to try my hand at bell ringing today and signed up to volunteer at a local heritage site which they were very happy about - the volunteers tend to be on the elderly side so a bit of fresh blood is always welcome.

And I found Human Centipede 2 on DVD - AWESOME!!!! OK, so it's going to be edited beyond recognition, but I'm still very excited nevertheless. The original was so funny and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story continues.

Right. Off to see if red wine and story writing can mix.

Bell ringing.

Wonderful, it requires a lot of strength I believe, let us know! and good luck.

I was expecting it to, but they weren't particularly big bells so children were easily pulling on the ropes and getting them to chime. It's a deconsecrated church that's been on the site since the fifth century in one form or another, so it's pretty special but very, very small, so the bell tower only had two bells adn they weren't especially large.

How special the church has been there so long....Like the sound of it. Photos later?
