Memorial timing is a bit different than a funeral. I can see where the holiday would mess up timing too. ((Nora))
So, I wasn't here, because I'm still in Scotland.
I thought of you immediately and selfishly was grateful you were still away. A horrible way to start the year for so many people.
Sumi, I have one of those things, but it never smelled like turpentine. Yuck! You may have to air out the house despite the cold.
I'm trying to fight it off with a spiced pear scented candle.
We did the memorial service less than a week after ND's dad passed, and it was widely regarded as too fast. Lots of people didn't know I'd had happened or couldn't make it from out of state because of the speed, and I know they took grief for it.
Also, HNY to all. So happy 2008 is history.
brunch. food. round. champagne. nappppptime.....
Fay I thought of you immediately and said -- No wait , she is still home. Hooray! and then ...what a horrible thing to do...
I rang in the new year with kinky folk; it was fun, but I honestly would have preferred a low-key, non-kinky party, because I was just feeling mellow. Still, I've had worse NYEs, so I can't complain.
What I wore last night (yes, it was a kinky party, no, there is no nudity in the picture, just a sheer shirt with a normal skirt): [link]
And truly, I'm all about fat acceptance, but I am ASTONISHED at how much weight I've apparently lost since the summer. Summer picture: [link]
very glam , but I like the summer photo , too. you look very happy in that picture.
Uh, and I totally didn't mean that to be a selb-absorbed egotistical mememememe post; I really mean it as a "Huh, I totally am surprised" post.
Can't see last night's picture.
sniff
I stayed home last night because I wasn't feeling great and didn't want to tromp downtown. I did go outside to the park to watch various fireworks.
Virtuous today. Watched a Sarah Connor episode while on the treadmill for 45 minutes and did a 20 minute free weight routine with the boys. They mocked my girly weights. I reminded them that I was a fat old lady, not a teenage boy. They said that I wasn't fat, but didn't object to the old part. Huh.
Can't see Tep's pic either. I'm pix_kristin if you want to add me, Tep.
Laura it is nap time not the virtue hour. But .... walk a few steps for me.
NYD always feels like Sunday. Not sure why, but it does.
