Obligatory Post of Beginning-of-the-year-ness

In other words, Happy New Year, and I am blogging. Yes, the blog is late, but that is okay.

Well, for New Year's Eve (hereafter known as NYE in this post) I spent it at home with friends. I had hoped others would be there, but they were home with their own families which is completely understandable. We don't have cable at my house so there was no countdown, only a phone alarm going off and us celebrating. Of course my first kiss of the New Year was my Fiance. We drank Sparkling Apple Cider and Sparkling Apple-Pomegranate Cider (which was absolutely tasty!) and had an Indian Taco dinner! That was a lot of fun. :)

My friend Lys brought poppers, which were too many for the six of us to set off, so we shared with other apartment-dwellers. It makes me sad that the beginning of the New Year, aka NYE, is the last time I get to see one of my friends for months. Kind of sucks, but at least we will see each other again! Some neighbors were lighting off the fun, gorgeous but unfortunately illegal fireworks they smuggled from somewhere. They almost lit a tree on fire, thank goodness it was wet outside (but not raining). The fireworks were pretty and I couldn't help but shout everytime and cheer. Did I mention I love fireworks?

My NYR (New Year's Resolution) is to try and get my business off the ground, which is hard considering the recesssion. By the way, according to the people who pay out for SSI and Disabilities, there is no recession, and there has been no inflation in the last year. That is a load of bullshit. I found out from a friend who has family with SSI. Sad! But nonetheless I can be hopeful! Basketry is not too common (in fact, I am one of the maybe two who do it on etsy.com) You can always help me out there, if you decide to spend the money. According to people I know I sell them cheap, but it seems like an awful lot to me.

Maybe I will get on here more often in the new year. I don't know though, since I will be graduating this year... which is kind of scary. 2010 seemed so far away when I got here, and time spent with friends made it go by all too fast. Why can't it be like Elementary School and take forever? Seriously.

In wedding news, we have a place, a date, a time, a dress (for me), and a color scheme. Well, a dual-color-scheme.

And I should go back to doing my job...
