Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Buh bye, 2014.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Felicitations, Kate! And what a lucky little bundle, to be arriving into such a family!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats Kate!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay Kate!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congratulations, Kate!

Our wings are not tired.

Awesome news, Kate! Way to contribute to Buffista World Domination! Rose will adore having a baby sibling.

Congrats, Kate!

So, I woke up with a cold this morning but was still able to gut it out and complete my year-end cleaning ritual.

Well, for all values of 'complete' that include the no-dirty dishes, laundry or rubbish left in the house rule being stretched to the last two loads of laundry being in the machines...and the dishwasher not being totally finished.

I did, however, wash Cagney and myself, stuff the fridge with good food and push everything that needs sorting/mending/ending into one room.

The next four days will be a leisurely stroll through filing, donating and organizing. I'm stoked!

2014 was a very good year for me. I had no major illnesses, Cagney was healthy, I took great strides toward healing my relationship with money, I loved my work and my friends and significantly shifted my attitude and perspective toward greater happiness than I've ever known.

My deepest wish is for all of you to find 2015 your happiest and healthiest year yet. Much love!
