Thoughts for the new year:
I still haven't decided whether I'm going to say "Two thousand ten," "Twenty-ten," or maybe just "Ten." How are you going to say this year?
How do we talk about the last 10 years? The 2000s? That doesn't seem right. Life was so much simpler in the 1900s.
I just realized I started my blog just over 5 years ago now, in December of '04.
It has snowed almost non-stop for almost 3 days now. Why couldn't it be timed so that I could have a snow day to ease back into school?
I am dreading (DREADING) going back to school tomorrow. February vacation isn't really that far away, but man, my class blows.
I'm also dreading having to wear real clothes tomorrow. I've worn some version of fleece or sweats almost non-stop with the exception of drinking hours each evening for the past 4 days.
I like making desserts because I love eating desserts. To close out 2009, I tried to make a fancy-ish dessert for a New Year's Eve party. I told one of the party hosts how I was making a really fun dessert. It took me several trips to multiple stores to get all of the ingredients. It took hours (really) to make a part, cool a part, make more, chill it, etc. And then, it came out terrible. So terrible looking AND tasting that I did not even take a picture, but dumped it in the trash and bought cookies on the way to the party. I've never felt like such a dessert failure.
If I actually focused on doing work for like an hour or two, I might actually be done and not feel like I'm spending all of my last day of vacation working. I'm going to go try that.
