all is well

got everything sorted. won't go into details, but i guarantee that it wasn't anything nearly as bad as you must have been thinking that it was. i exaggerate when i am upset. anyway...

christmas was nice. gray and snowy, just like it should be on christmas day. we played games, watched movies, ate too much, and hung out in our pj's all day. it was lovely. no tree this year, though. the cats would have wrecked it! especially the baby. she's an imp.

cats are well, work is fine, going out to dinner for new year's. don't know where though. we wanted to go to a cute little italian place that we have been wanting to try, but it is going to be closed. thought about going downtown, but it's such a hassle (long train ride, and it's only a whopping 18 degrees outside with frigid wind - bad, bad, bad time to stand on train platforms). don't feel like getting gussied up either. will find a cozy neighborhood place instead.

what else? am trying to think of some new year's resolutions. could use the standards: quit smoking, lose weight, but they are so boring, and i don't feel serious about either one. would be a waste of two good resolutions. hmmm... maybe i will resolve to visit a city that i have never seen, like las vegas (cheesy, yes, but you have to go once in your life) or los angeles (gotta go there once too). maybe we will go to new york - i don't know - but we can finally afford to travel a bit, and i get a lot of vacation days, so we should go somewhere. we are going to ireland in september; i know that much. hopefully, we will get to go to london and paris on this trip too. maybe i will give up cheese. it's killling me - i know it!

off to the store. more later.
