It was interesting to realize that I was once again treading some of the exact same paths that I did 5 years ago, but the difference in life then and now, the difference in my current upward skyrocket and the downward spiral of those days is easy to appreciate. It was a nice night but hard to shake the memories of how nasty things were about to get the last time I had this view:

I'm not sure if you come here these days. No comments from you in a while. I know that your work life was getting a little sketchy the last time we spoke, I hope nothing bad has happened. I know all too well how worrying about your livelihood can wreak havoc on things. Maybe you're just staying quiet. In any case, I'll continue to post here when I have something to share. If you aren't in a place where you can stop by right now it'll all be here later when you can.
Christmas was okay. I've been to the show 3 times in the last month. Probably going to go one more time before NYE. That's actually been the highpoint of the holidays for me. Every time I've gone it's been with close friends, and even a few who have never gone before. Tons of fun as always.
Supposed to hang out with the same group of friends that made my birthday so fantastic this NYE so it'll be a ton of fun. I've managed to procure 5 bottles of Veuve for the occasion due to some funny circumstances which dropped a bottle in my lap here and there. Funny how it has become iconic and a symbol of comparison for life now vs. 3 or 4 years ago.
I continue to be incredibly happy. This has been a really, really good year.
I hope all is well and you got everything you wanted for Christmas. I'll give you a little thought when I kiss whomever is nearest at the stroke of midnight on NYE.

Hey! I am so happy to hear that you are in such a good place! As always, I love hearing about how well you are doing, and that you are so happy!
Yes, my life has taken another turn. Not for the worse by any means, but it requires much more focus and attention on my work and on my family. Seems that's all I focus on anymore. I'm struggling to balance the routine in order to make some more room for "play", but that seems almost a moot point, as we recently discovered that we are expecting an addition to our brood in early to mid August!
I do apologize for being so quiet lately. My immediate supervisor quit about two months ago, and I have had many opportunities hurled my way and have had to jump at every one of them. Of course this is all very good, but it's been a struggle and at times very demanding as you well know where I'm coming from.
I hope you had a lovely NYE. We took Julian downtown on the lightrail for the 9pm firework display. He loved it, and we were home and in bed by about 10:30pm. Whoo-hoo! I sure know how to party it up eh?! LOL And I am perfectly content. I'm living the family life that I have wanted since I was a little girl. What an odd fantasy, especially for a girl like myself...
Resolutions for this year???
Hmmm. Resolutions. I'm not sure if I have any, or at least I haven't given them any thought. Probably if I had to make a few, one would be to not procrastinate. I have all of these side projects, some which could provide nice monetary rewards, but I seem to always have trouble getting going... or at least staying on them once I've started.
But more than anything I think I'd like to try and keep this year as nice as 2007. It would be nice to stay on an even, happy keel for as long as possible. I think I'll do my best to accomplish that by not complicating my life and continuing to focus on how good things are.
Oh, and to buy a house. Heh.
Glad to hear you're getting everything you hoped for. My NYE was actually low key, but pretty much what I wanted.
