Happy New Year
Happy New Year.
I'm returning from an unintended but theraputic break from blogging. During my hiatus I managed to download about 100 CDs onto the new Ipod Santa brought me for Christmas. A 20 Gbyte hard disk in something the size of a deck of cards. Amazing.
New Year's Eve was very low key. During the holidays we attended four parties so we stayed in last night. I grilled New York strips for dinner. Then I watched boring chick flicks - not one explosion. I hung in there till midnight but it was hard. Never in my life have I felt this need to celebrate the New Year and last night was no different. Some folks feel like social failures if they're not out New Year's Eve hooting and hollering. I'm way too boring (uh, I mean secure) to feel distressed at not participating in forced jocularity.
The best news is that I got all of the Christmas decorations put away today. Yes!!! The tree is always tedious. As I get older I find myself ever closer to the artificial tree camp. But it's all away and I'm ready for the weekend.
Remind me to tell you about the baseball my mother gave me for my birthday.
K-
Happy New Year, Kem. Sounds like you had a great holiday.
Oh, and consider yourself reminded. It sounds like it will be a great story.
Sounds like a good holiday. Sorry about the lack of explosions, I know that was hard for you. And don't forget about the baseball.
Happy New Year, Kem! I can't remember the last time I went out on New Year's. Well, yeah I can. I guess that's why I've stayed in for the last 20 or so years. Hey, tell us a story about the baseball you got from your mom. Can't wait.
