I'm so glad I've never had to go to a funeral and now probably never will.
ION, Happy New Year everyone!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I found viewings comforting as a kid, but now I avoid them at all costs.
BTW, If you think JLo looked bad on stage, when they rang in the new year, she was wearing that with a fur coat thrown over it. I was have a serious WTF moment as I channel surfed by.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had delicious gnocchi with winter squash, sweet potatoes, and greens. Nom nom.
That sounds really good. That gave me an idea, so now I want to try making pumpkin gnocchi served with greens.

Stupid cystic zit is actually making my neck muscles sore due to referred pain. Fuck you, hormones.
Devi appears to have a cold too. Cat sneezing on my foot? Ookier than me sneezing into my hand.

Ooh, yum. Maybe that'll be next up. ETA: The pumpkin and greens, not the cat snot. To be clear.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
All my nails that were normal length or a teeny tiny growing out started ripping down on the sides, so I have new fakes glued on. This time I used Broadway instead of Kiss brand, is that what you use sara? They are a wee sparkly, but I think went on better.

I use broadway's medium french manicure- they have sizes that fit best: 0, 5, 5.5, 4 and 9. I haven't seen the sparkly ones, though I have seen the airbrushed craxy ones. I've used the short ones too, when I went to Nepal and Bhutan.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
happy new year everyone Maybe the new year be kind to all
I think I had my best new years eve ever. DH made a good dinner, we drank some red wine. DH and I watched the BBC production of P & P . the idea was to start around 6 and end around midnight. But we didn't start until 7 and because we have to talk so much about it , we finished it about 2.

My collards and black-eyed peas are awesome, by the way. I did them in the slow cooker with some canned tomatoes and a small hunk of kielbasa I had in the freezer, as well as a healthy amount of red pepper. Le nom.
I'm still not sold on the slow cooker, but at least this was a mostly successful trial run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mmm. Grilled shrimp po boy. We peeled off from the rest of the group and went downtown for dinner.
Viewing has worked for me in the past. Not this time.
