is your life story about you, cuz i just can't relate
haven't gone back to a "grind" yet, and i imagine i won't until after new year's blowout, recovery, &tc. only moderate amounts of work this week, a massive amount of cleaning/organizing/overwhelming, minuscule amounts of motivation. the presence of xmas trees and ornaments, gift boxes, houseplants, ham and homemade chocolates has swelled quite exponentially in the last week.
let's play catch up. my birthday was friday, and it was one of those birthdays that makes you feel whiskey-shot fuzzy in realizing truly how priceless, how truly remarkable and truly how tender your friends and family are. my sister made me a hybrid cake -- a birthday bouche de noel, and, as always, she outdid her previous outings in the realm of birthday cakes, bouche de noels, baking in general. and presents! i never got so many great presents from friends before. i'm having trouble sounding like a pre-teen here, but i think that's real excitement and appreciation coming out. a bunch of us went up to los galanes in mexicantown where the salsa was hot and yummy, and the mariachi guys who sang happy birthday to me were hotter and yummier. then to the holiday variety show upstairs at the magic stick, which was both overwhelming and fun, in oscillating order. scott and i headed to a party at a mansion near eastern market for the afterparty where afterparty-type things took place and afterparty fun was had. we came home after six.
xmas went very well, especially considering how this was the first one held not in "the house." no hitch, no problem, all good, too many presents, too much food. very good.
my roommate, kevin, is going to have a couple "guest blogger" entries in the next couple of days, and i'm looking forward to it with much anticipation. since i'm not really in the mood to make any end-of-the-year lists, he's going to make mine for me. who knows your favorite albums of the year better than the person who sleeps in the next room? and there's a rumor about another list, a list of guys in my life over the course of the past year. so. there's that. i feel a bit less anticipatory about that one.
the purse i made jeanne for xmas, my first "real," non-scarf project
i don't think i'll take the lights down, ever
sorry, i'll say something intelligent tomorrow. now = couch + knitting + tv
