et al.

OH!
I forgot the most important part of a new year blog.....the RESOLUTION.

Last year was one of two resolutions that I carried through completion.

the first was in high school, I resoluted to stop drinking dark sodas. This caused a minuscule rift between me and some friends of mine who believed I should stop drinking ALL sodas, but aside from ginger ale when I was sick, I did not consume light-colored sodas on a regular basis....hence not needing to cut them out. They thought I was a soda racist. It was not that much of a success because shortly after that year ended I realized how much I missed dark sodas and now I can't go a day without a diet coke.

Last year's resoluting was to never use plastic carry-out bags. From the store, from the Chinese takeout place, etc. etc. etc.

It totally worked. I have not used a plastic bag since December 31st 2007...huzzah Environment!

This year I have been notsoawesome with the propelling of my resolution. But the momentum of last year still has me percolatin' so I decided to continue on even if it's been a week already into the new year and I haven't done anything yet.......

whew, that's a long ellipsis for.....I am hereby resoluting to drink a helluva lot more water. And to prove it to you, I have already bought a shiny new pink and purple fancy white people aluminum water drinking bottle from Target for the absurd price of 13.99!!!

Happy New Year!

Not that anyone cares a flying flip about what goes on here....but yes, it's been awhile. I'm going to say "suck it." and not make apologies for my lack of blogging during the holidays because dammit, I've been busy.

Some things have happened since Thanksgiving, so, in short-

Had Christmas gatherings with the family in the far north...okay, the upstate.
I bought a new hat (it's a silly hat, very near Rastafarian, but the colors keep it from being so...it has since become my ohjeezIcannotbelievehownastymyhairistodaythankgodI'myoungenoughtopulloffthisridiculoushat hat)
I acquired one boyfriend
I turned twenty-four
Said boyfriend made me meatloaf
Daniel came back to town
I was made an official Administrative Intern for a Children's Opera Company
I met boyfriend's mother
I made some spinach pizza
I started to re-read The Grapes of Wrath
I sang the Alto solo in the Messiah
I bartended (bartand?) on New Years at the Publick House, I am taking personal credit for the praise that Ron Aiken gave the establishment in the Free Times because I was the one pouring his drinks
Went to Garibaldi's and sat at the bar while said boyfriend made me a perfect gin martini (with a twist) while his co-workers and boss marvelled at how cute and fancy I am (I had some vintage pearl strands and a tiered gold and emerald costume piece that my dear friend G. Scott gave me with a black babydoll I bought years ago and matte legging and my superhigh wooden soled platform shoes)

That's about it, I know it's a lame recap, but I will allow my insatiable fabulousless make up for my lack of consistent communication
