Go to the bar with Daisy Jane & crew

Go out with DJ. She's good times.

Do not argue with me. Go. Shoo!

Hard to argue with Jilli. I mean, it can be done, but you'll lose.

Which isn't to say I am not totally lolling in the being solitary tonight, because I am. But this is the end of my Grinchmas. I am nicely sociable to family for the holidays and this is my recharge. Plus I have wine, a fire and a ridiculous tv.

BTW, Cass, it sure is good to see your font around here. I hope you have a lovely unsociable evening.

Same here. I can't deal with any more people.

Plus I have wine, a fire and a ridiculous tv.

I have beer, meds, and New Years Rocking Eve. I don't know who this blonde woman is, but she's annoying me.

Everything would be so much simpler if more people would realize and accept the truth of that statement.

Happy end of Grinchmas, Cass.

Okay, we're almost out of the house to go head to a NYE party. Have a good evening, everyone!

I had a nice NYE dinner. I got a flank steak rolled with spinach and cheese from the grocery, some fresh shrimp -- which I sauteed in garlic, shallot, parsley, and olive oil. I didn't have butter or lemon, I put some white wine, but didn't cook it off right.

Oh and zucchini and mushrooms sauteed with shallots.

Over all nummy. And I sacraficed a shrimp for the kitty. Who did not eat it.

Grinchmas

I'm so using that term next year.

I'm about to open the sparkling cider...still haven't accomplished the wash up from supper and am hankering to finish the book on tape I've been listening to for the last couple of days. For those playing along at home: Steel Orchid by Stuart Woods. Well read intrigue.

I feel guilty for not completing my annual cleaning and burning ritual before midnight. But honestly, I can't be fussed. Perhaps I'll have supercharged energy tomorrow.

Fuck! So the lil bar sells tickets for NYE! Nobody told me that. I got rebuffed at the door.

ETA: they are sold out.

Awww, thank you. I've been around, but lurky as hell much of the time. Well, and the lag because we talk faster than I can read sometimes.

Grinchmas is the best description for my holiday season. I do love my family but it's so damn stressful and I wish there were a way to tell them I loved them a lot but would see them in February or something.

Bummer, o-a.

I got rebuffed at the door.

Dude! Bogus!

Still, total points for going out and braving the Texas chill.

Happy new year, Bitches! Here's to a better year.
