Ringing in the New Year with a Bunch of Clowns

1:47am...What a fantastic way to ring in the New Year! I knew I would have fun at the circus. Now all I need to do in predict and play the lotto! Ha ha. I thought for sure I would be going it alone (which was cool with me) but then Alison called asking if I had any plans. She said she didn't want to say at home so she decided to join me. Lucky for her i'm in the habit of buying tickets by the pair! The show was pretty funny and the people sitting around us interesting to boot. I'm sleepy right now so I'm going to have to finish this post when I wake up. Cold medicine and a glass of alcohol definitely don't mix but hey...I bet I won't have any trouble sleeping tonight/this morning. I have a feeling good things are on the horizon for me (but then again...when hasn't there ever been good things in my life).

8:32pm...So today I did absolutely nothing! My cousin Sharon likes to refer to these types of days as "lie about" days. Still trying to shake this cold brought on by air conditioning. Even though it was quiet, I did get a chance to catch up a bit with a few phone calls and email. Ev and Rae get married this year! How exciting. Rae asked me to be a bridesmaid. How cool...this will be the first time I will be in a wedding party. Very cool. I know they are going to have a fantastic life together. It's hard to believe that given how sarcastic we both can be..Ev and I turned out to be the best of friends. I can't believe I've known him for over ten years. We both have grown tremendously. Bravo. How is it possible to be tired from doing absolutely nothing??? Oh well. It did feel good to sleep in my own bed again after two weeks away. While my room at my mother's house is cool, it's different than the space I've been able to establish on my own. Although being there the last three days helped me out so much considering I wasn't feeling well. She did make some really good chicken soup the other night. Anyway, I better attempt to get myself organized for this week. Lots to do like revamping my resume and labeling all these pictures to name a few. I'm going to start The Artist's Way again. I think my artist's date will be a few museums. Didn't really get a chance the past few months to check out some exhibits. I didn't hear from Alison today...better give her a call to see if her mom will be able to leave the hospital soon. I hope so.
