I think I need to stop on the way home for snacks. I have wine, but no good snacks.
So far there is no sign that they will let us go home early, but it could still happen.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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

"Booty" doesn't seem that dirty to me either...maybe it would matter how someone said it. I don't think I ever have, though, outside the song,

Forgoing my usual Thai takeout for NYE.For once, I'm not socked out with a cold and I'm feeling cheap. But I am having miso with cabbage and spinach, because I haven't felt right all day. I'm a little afraid the crick in my neck is actually a precold symptom.
And I made cookies.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Rose's daycare teachers use "booty" regularly, and it always strikes me as odd, since I do think of it as a somewhat sexualized term. So I can see where your sister is coming from, meara, even if it does seem to be commonly used.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.
Wanna trade? The Theatre's namesake gave us a DVD (Goodman history or home movies? I'm waiting for someone else to watch and report) a logo'd pen with a LED light and a logo'd keychain. Last year was wine.
I wandered in to work around noon, but I didn't leave until 7. What is wrong with me?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I got out a few hours early, took the dog for a walk and did some weeding.
Now it's off to dinner with some family friends, and then maybe a party. Should be a fairly quiet night.
Happy New Year, Buffistas!

Imma gonna carry one box of cookies out to the field for the fireworks. The other is for a brunch I hope to attend as long as I don't wake up sick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We didn't get a corporate gift per se, but everyone in Operations got a frittata pan.
I bought one of those for myself last year, so this one will be going to my sister. Who makes a lot of frittatas. So it all works out.
Last year we all got asparagus steamers, which I also already had, but the gift one was a different style so I decided it was okay for me to have two. I might need to steam a whole lot of asparagus, after all.
OK, time to make some black-eyed peas, etc.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't think I'll be staying up to watch the ball drop this year. Instead I'll get a jump on the new year by hiding in bed asleep and surprising it early in the morning when it has a hangover.

I'll be initiating Yosemite download and going to bed after watching the fireworks. Hopefully it'll finish by morning.
