I am sadly remiss in posting to this thing, though I love to write. I haven't been feeling inspired lately.

I wasn't really feeling "into" the whole holiday thing this year, but my beau was here, and he helped me put the tree up. I wasn't feeling sad nor depressed, in fact, accomplished that I had my shopping done, and most things that I'd wanted to make as gifts, made.

I have the best boyfriend ever, and not because he bought me the i-Pod, and not because he let me pick it out, but because he noticed it was like an "old fashioned Christmas" with my whole being sucked into the computer figuring out how to download songs and load them onto this thin silver slick-screened siren.

Everyone around me is sick, or getting over being sick or just getting started being sick. I feel like Wonder Woman, only my bullet proof bracelets are made of vitamin C.

I will enjoy the colored lights on my tree and watch a few new DVDs. Television has been really lackluster as of late. I do know almost every show, bad or good, is likely available for purchase on DVD. Even though they replaced some of the songs on the episodes of Northern Exposure, which makes me mad, I still watch, because it's funny, touching, annoying and does not insult my intelligence.

I have the new Harry Potter, but have not yet finished last year's Stephen King. It's very personal, I almost feel like I'm invading someone's private journal.

I have not exercised a whole lot these past two weeks and I feel off kilter. But also a bit light headed, which is not good around the treadmill.

I will be back into the swing of life next week. For the new year.

I miss my incredibly warm grandparents. I wonder sometimes how I turned out so "normal". But then that begs the question, what is normal, and why would I want to be that?

I like remembering first times. The first time I tried or did things. My beau reminds me that we have many more ahead of us. That is exciting and so wonderful to ponder. Some things we have yet to try, that we will love, just out there waiting for us.
