Xander ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm going to a friend's party in the suburbs tonight and trying not to be bitter that he met some girl at the gym over the summer and now they are engaged.
And then going to see this guy:
to ring in the New Year.
And not drinking ALL the champagne like last year and so not being super hung over for my friends' New Year's Day brunch tomorrow.
Jilli, don't worry -- "zip-top" is just genericspeak for Ziplock. You hear it all the time on the Food Network too.
mac and I are heading over to neighborhood dinner party. I am helping the 2 kids there make 2 gingerbread houses from kits - then there will be mellow eating and sitting about. and a 5 min walk home.
How long have you had the cold, Shrift? Having very recently recovered from the Death Cold I can promise that it does end.
I'm on day six.
Just so you know, it happens again sometime between 35 and 40.
Christ. I did not need to know that. I would cry emo tears, but my eyes are already red and swollen from being Sneezy McAchoopants.
I have grand plans for NYE. They involve me and my bed and not going anywhere, and probably no drinking at all. I am so lame.
So, what are people doing tonight?
Husband and I have tickets to see Jeff Dunham at the TPAC in Tampa. We have reservations for dinner afterward. Should be a pretty good way to end this year and bring in the next.
Revenge of the Metabolism hit me at 34, but at least some of that was stress and blood-pressure related.
Jilli, don't worry
Ah well. Pete has already headed out to the store to buy zip-top ones, for lo! We are the House of Freak Out right now.
Don't freak out! Everything will be OK.
My plans for the evening include more L&O, and then movies. This weekend, I have recorded Holiday, Swingers, Bringing Up Baby, and Jesus Camp for the purpose. Oh, and The Outsiders. I'll let you know what wins.
I am trying to rest so I feel moderately better when I have to go to one friend's house so we can caravan to another friend's house so we can all caravan to the bar where for the first time in 10 years, Mr. Jane will not be bartending, but instead drinking and hanging out with me and mine.
Need to, rest more, take shower, do nails, do facial, do hair, paint ring on dress, get dressed & head out (I hope on time if Mr. Jane makes it home soon from bar prep).
Stay gold, Ponyboy!
