I am meeting my darling M for an earlyish dinner at our usual place, followed by inside pants and movies for me and working for him. NYE is an amateur's holiday from a bartender perspective anyway, so I know what friends aren't working are home. We'll all see each other at various bars tomorrow, I know that.

But! I did dress up, because I like dressing up, and I know I'll be wearing inside pants soon enough.

NYE is an amateur's holiday

Bwah.

As a not-much drinker, alcohol based holidays just don't do it for me. Niether does forced merriment.

Contemplation, comfort and good food? Now THAT is my kind of holiday. Which, given those parameters, I can actually celebrate every day. That's a great notion to carry into the new year.

I had safeway soup (santa fe creamy chicken enchilada ) with extra corn.

I was tired. Just like I have been every working day since...I don't know. Several people in my team are lobbying facilities for an exorcism. The last half of the year has been insane.

I just woke up from an accidental nap (cold medicine + fleece throw + cat making biscuits on you = 2 hour nap) and now am watching Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel and wondering how my lips got so chapped in one day.

And totally wearing inside pants.

And Noah & his rocket are AWESOME.

we are heading to bed!

Sweet dreams and see youse next year!

lazy man's dinner. pot roast cooked in picante sauce,w tih onions and garlic. foil wrapped sliced potato baking in oven with olive oil, onion and and garlic, parmesean to be added at last five minutes. Zuchinni grape tomatoes & onions, baking with wine, honey and garlic. All put up and turn your back and come back later. Everything cooked in dishwasher safe dishes: clean up will be ten minutes.

I think I'm sick of holidays. I just can't get up any New Years Eve enthusiasm.

lazy man's dinner.

You do not know the meaning of lazy, dude!
