Homemade tomato soup in the works.
Dogs snoring.

Happy New Year! Yes, I am a day late, but not a dollar short. I want for nothing in my life. 2010 is gonna kick ass.
Sage smudge & crystals in my pockets like the hippie that I am, but look out - I still bathe.

What's a sage smudge?
Just popping in.
My life continues to be wonderful. I love and am loved. I want for nothing. I am safe, and working on healthy. I hope your life is wonderful this holiday season. Merry Christmas, kids.
Love, dats.

It absolutely wasn't all bad, I'm just being dramatic. No worries about the time difference 
I will be awake.

In the summer of 2010 it's quite possible my father and I will be taking a road trip from Montreal or Chicago to California on Route 66, if so I plan to visit my West Coast peeps, and hopefully hit Bouchon and the French Laundry, etc. I'll keep you posted.
Ps. stay tuned for some food porn photos coming up. I have to wait until the month changes so I can upload some more photos to Flickr.

My life has been full to bursting lately with snuggles, morning coffee, wiggly dogs, being held tightly, friends, Christmas treats, wine, laughs, cute shoes, hard work, the occasional spooge joke, and a feeling that this is exactly where I'm supposed to be right now. I am extraordinarily happy.

I saw sunshine in the middle of the night last night. Yay.
I need to finish my Christmas shopping, but I'm broke. Today will involve crafty ideas for pressies.
I wanna make toffee. Actually, I wanna eat it, so I should make some first. Other people's toffee is a poor substitute for my own.
Team dats all the way, baby.

Toffee sounds like a wonderful gift! My family is not celebrating this year since money is tight, I have no idea what we are doing instead though. I need to find out and maybe bake something. There is only 3 of us so it should be simple enough!
melladoree:
Thanks! xo
I need to bake some treats, el pronto.
You should drink with me on Monday. Team dats, baby!

Oh, I'm in. 
I apologize in advance for the blame I'll likely heap on you on Tuesday.

What did you bake? I'm obsessed right now, I blame the cold weather and novelty baking accessories I keep acquiring.
Okay. Enough negative stuff. Now for a blog of random happy stuff about me. (In case you're wondering, my favorite journals that others post are often random collections of tidbits about themselves):
- I have a theory about the evolution of a joke: It's funny at first, then if you keep telling it, it stops being funny. But if you tell it even more,...

Thanks. My head is getting better. I'm starting to remember stuff again, which is a relief.
mrcrisp:
Sounds good. How are you planning on getting in? We could probably just meet up at BART, so which one's closer to you, Del Norte or El Cerrito Plaza?
And who else do you think we can coerce into coming?

So, as many of you know, I don't like to have grumpy journals. But something has been bothering me. I keep hearing people in the healthcare debate talk about rationing health care, and how we don't want the government getting involved because people won't have as much access to care.
Well..........I have roughly $180,000 of debt from health care bills.
Some of you remember that...

As a Canadian I truly do not understand a country that doesn't provide such a basic service for it's people. Especially a country that considers itself a leader in so many other ways.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this crap.
My 12 month old would be considered to have a pre-existing condition if we were trying to get her insurance right now (fortunately she's been covered since the day she was born) She's small. Not worryingly small, but still in the bottom percentile for weight. Most insurance companies deny anyone over the 95th and under the 5th percentiles for weight. It's crazy.

Lebkuchen?!? Can you sneak a couple without nuts for me if I ask real nice?
We could sit and rant for hours about the health care thing...when are you free?

The past two days I've awakened at 7am. I have no idea why. I've worked an insane number of hours and gotten home late. I don't start work until 2 today. Hoping to get back to sleep, but the probability is no bueno. Sing me a lullaby?

My lullaby would consist of xanax and 2 glasses of wine You'd be out like a light. /badinfluence

I got a new cloche hat yesterday. I need to find a place to wear it. Also need to find some soft tights & long underwear. I'm really a sissy when it comes to the cold. Thankfully, I love winter clothing.
I'm already getting excited for Christmas, but have no idea what to buy my family (or how to pay for it). I hope I...

I'm trying to convince my family to go in to get my mom a stand mixer. They're not really buying into it.

It seriously does not get cold in CA. This is what I've decided after yesterday night.
I am a step closer to being a crazy crystal lady. I don't know how I feel about that.

Thanks for the offer. With the holidays it's too difficult to get away, but January, I may just head up to SF.
gangstaswan:
Yosemite is pretty I hear. I'll keep my eye on the group.
I hope your holiday was lovely. Mine was. Family time, then a delightful evening afterwards. I got to go to Festival of Lights for the first time yesterday instead of working. My best friend was in town from Belgium with her boyfriend (who I adore as well), and we had a great time visiting. This is what holidays should be about. Spending time with the...

I deleted mine. Yours was much better. I was planning on taking any threads from mine and putting them into yours since I didn't know when you could do it (and I'm running off to work) but I'd say that worked out pretty well. Your thread is awesome. This co-mod thing is awesome.
otoki:
Yeah, back when SWG was active I would get overwhelmed because the decisions were so important (whether or not to let someone in). I think this group has to be a true cooperative effort.
Please thanks?
As for sending American douches to beat him up... that would require American douches to enter my country and I can't be having that.
Glad things are going well for you.
