well, hello there my friends!
i hope your holidays were merry and bright. i hope you are about to embark upon this impending new year with hope and happiness.
i have enjoyed my holidaytimes and continuing in my own new year's tradition, i will make no plans for the ol' new year's eve.
i find that any plans made for this holiday end in disappointment. you could plan the night of your life and still end up feeling empty. i like to leave new year's plans to the last minute, allowing spontaneous whim to rule the night. i might end up at a party, i might end up babysitting...i just don't know. what i do know is that each time i get my hopes up, new year's is there to dash them against the rocks of reality. another year, another year, another year...
oh god...did i already blog about this?
o, the sweet loss of memory that comes with the combination of time and life experience!
i find it mildly startling that just a couple of months ago, i was closing the door to our little storage space and noticed a huge package of paper towels.
i asked b, "did you buy those paper towels?"
"no," he replied, "you did."
"right, right...i bought them. at target. i remember."
scary.
it's strange and unsettling how fast the years go as you get older. i now know what all parents everywhere mean when they say the time flies...
alas! 2006! bravo. you were a good year. a solid year. 2006, you were fun and silly and serious and a source of constant discovery and i hope we can do it all over again...next year.
