Happy new year

It’s still technically the first of the year, and I can honestly say that I did NOTHING today except fight with this blog. As you may see, I’ve changed the format completely (thanks to a nifty template that can be found at www.noipo.org (my heartfelt gratitude), and have added the ability for my vast multitude of readers (see, I can make fun of myself) to add comments to the site.

So please, please, please do. Otherwise I will have wasted yet another perfectly good day.

ARGH

New Year

Happy New Year!

I just finished fighting with Blogger to let me archive–God, it made me feel like an idiot.

Last night, went over to Karen Bubb’s for New Year’s. Her husband was enthralled with a Twilight Zone marathon, but he cooked fabulous food, and Dana, Karen and I sat around the candelit living room, read tarot cards and then toasted each other with champagne and sparklers outside in the snow. It was fun. Steve went to a party, but, being Steve, left well before the countdown. After all, that’s way past his bedtime.

Starting to do research on where we should live in Seattle. He needs to be able to get to Belleview (sp?), but we’re leaning toward living on the West side. Any comments anyone? Shoot me an e-mail (the nifty little link over to your left) if you have any suggestions.
