(no subject)

aaaaaagggghhhhh! I went out to get the traditional New Year's Eve cheese & cracker spread. Obviously, it was necessary for me to do this at 2AM the night before, since there is practically nobody in the grocery store at that hour, and I like it that way. But I just got home! and I have been putting away tons of groceries and all I want to do is GO TO SLEEP. *sob*

I did get cheese and crackers, but as you can probably guess, I also got about a thousand other things. Like about 15 cans of soup. It did not occur to me to think, "Where am I going to put 15 cans of soup?" See, I don't really like canned food, and the momster has turned the under-cabinet area where we used to keep soup into her personal wine cellar. So, there are 15 cans of soup on my kitchen floor right now.

They all look tasty, though.

a little early...

Happy New Year, people!

also, happy birthday (a little early) to audreyjean and katesterbp.
and happy late birthday to galaxy_grrl and aquagirl.
and happy birthday to anyone i've missed, since LJ doesn't send me the announcements anymore and I always forget to use the portal thingiebob.

year in review?

I feel like a year-in-review thing would be totally half-assed, given that I myself have been kind of half-assed in the last year. But here goes a quick one.

In 2002, I:
Started selling crafts & considering myself "a real artist."
Burned my wrist pretty badly in pursuit of said art/craft fabulousity.
Taught myself a bunch of new techniques & experimented with materials.
Lost grandmother.
Acquired puppy.
Pretty much failed Honors Philosophy, through inability to decide on a paper topic (this may be fixable).
Made a decision on where to move to.
Took a trip to said location & further, to visit relatives.
Got really pissed-off on said trip, due to relatives and a non-compos-mentis boy, but did not have horrible time overall.
Did not find an apartment/house.
Flooded the laundry room and part of the kitchen. Twice.
Started having to give pills 2x/day to N-cat.
Read a lot of books.
Flaked on many a social obligation.
Joined a gym.
Learned to use CDRW to greater advantage.
Filled up my hard disk, several times.
Made some decisions re: the future.
Continually failed to finish cleaning my living room.
