We have rules for what a "resolution" is and how it's made... and although most of the rules get broken by somebody at least once every year, everyone, even those who looked terrified of it, wore the funny hat while telling us theirs.

I got a PRIZE (chocolate!!) for guessing a disney tune... but of course it's the only disney movie i know, Snow White, and it's from 1937, ten years after I was born.

i think i'm an adult now, because i WANT to clean my house.

Wrote and sent a grand total of 8 christmas cards ... sad and late, but true.

Going to a high school reunion tonight, even going to drive someone else, but turned back home because of the roads and decided instead to play an awful lot of bridge. (found out later there were only 4 people there :( )

When gas lamps glow on midnight snow,
and boots make crunching sounds below,
you'll find me frolicking around,
as gusts swirl o'r the frozen ground.

It is so easy for humans to forget that there are some things we simply can not control, and it is Nature's job to remind us of this fact by introducing beautiful and graceful storms that transform a dead street into a glistening white wonderland, which is appreciated even if it means that travel plans must be changed.

Let's go shopping in a "blizzard" and buy things that mean that we have to go shopping again (we'll wait till the VS semi-annual sale, though), because we don't have all the necessary parts.

Wouldn't you like to spend all of Christmas day (morning, noon, and night) in your pajamas with your joyful family whom you love to the moon and back?

The goose is cooked - literally.

My brother recently shared with me that, he now gets belly button lint.

When the last present is wrapped, and old ornaments are hung, little lights are shining in the windows, and the midnight service has ended, I will sit on the old couch in front of the fire with my family, and remember where I learned what love really is.

Christmas eve: traditions fill me with joy, but kids decorating the tree and keeping it secret from the adults makes me extra happy.

On this day, ninety years ago, my grandmother was born, and even though she is not physically here to celebrate with me now, I am thinking of her, remembering her, missing her, loving her, and thanking her for the incredible and unforgettable influence she had on my life.

spouses were not allowed at brian's holiday party, so i spent the time buying myself some presents instead.

i spent hours cutting little ribbons and knotting them to make hangers for chocolate to put on the christmas tree because we try to keep this traditional tree ornamentation which isnt american and therefore you cant get the necessary things here.

When snazzy vehicles, spandex, glow sticks, computers, Jeff Bridges, and Frisbees unite, you get TRON!

Sometimes I do things that I really shouldn't do, and I try not to regret them because I don't think we should dwell in regret, and maybe I don't regret them, but I still know that I should not have done them.

would you prefer to lose your memory or your mind?

1 comment: I think I would rather lose my memory. Not that I want to forget all the wonderful things that have happened to me, but I would want to be able to create new memories, and if my mind was missing, I feel like that would be tricky.

ok, ive been tired the last week, because since i lost my wedding ring (though it may be unrelated completely) i have only slept an average of four hours a night even though nobody is keeping me awake, and i am tired enough to sleep, and have tried everything from pretending to myself that im asleep to dancing myself to oblivion.

Update and BONUS irma amanda sentence: If you pretend that cream is a letter, then ice-cream is a four letter word!
