Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, I wish Aspergum still existed! I hate a sore throat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What does Aspergum have over a lozenge?

They pulled my bag over for an explosives check. I'm glad they didn't confiscate the cheesecake.

Checking in online with just the carry-on was totally worth it.

Gothic Charm School is my flight reading. I feel very fake since I'm dressed in a white school sweater and jeans. But all the clothes in my luggage are black! And not just because it's a funeral! I can darkle too, sometimes.

Hell, I'm not even wearing black shoes. I never don't wear black shoes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

They pulled my bag over for an explosives check.

They did that to me in Vegas too. I was glad I didn't have any.

I hope the trip isn't too terrible and drama filled, ita.

Aspirin! And nostalgia. But anyway, I don't have either thing here in the house, so it's all a moot point.

I went out for sushi last night and the hostess made a point to inform me unasked that Hot Young Waiter wasn't working. Busted! But I'll probably get seated in his section more often now.

I'd meant to go see Avatar after dinner, but one look at the packed parking lot sent me scurrying home. My New Year's Eve was spent doing laundry, putting up dishes, and much-needed de-cluttering of my living room and kitchen. Not exactly a blowout party, but I have clean countertops for the first time in months.

I totally meant to be here to wish a Central time zone New Year and then Charter pulled it's usual crap at 10:30 and fritzed my internet until just after midnight. All day Wednesday and the most important part of yesterday. Is to cry.

So, I wish you all a Happy New Year, regardless. It's still the first!

I make a darned good chocolate chip cookie usually, but I just made a batch that are as close to perfect as I think I ever have.

Mmm... cookies.

I just rearranged some kitchen cabinets and did the dishes, including running the dishwasher. Now I want to take down my Christmas tree, and I have to wrap the last presents, to be given tomorrow.

Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to get to my parents' tomorrow, since the subway will not be running to their stop. This is some NYC-style bullshit! The good news is, there are several bus options, but I can't decide what's best.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Ok, I think I am done with lounging around. time to shower and get to housework. I need a plan, right now there are too many half-done things.
