Tuesday, January 01, 2008 Me, Me, Me

I feel like I just sat down at a speed dating table with a new year, hoping to glean something promising and sincere in the first two minutes before the bell rings I have to turn my attention elsewhere.

The good news is that the kids are well, Gil is home and with them, Phil is home and with me, and the house is quiet, if not clean. I’ll give the dried-out tree a few more days before I chuck it so we can enjoy that last wave of needles crashing to the floor each time we walk by.

We’re just home from a what-you’d-expect-on-New-Year’s-day-quality meal, which was very much enriched by our running into an old friend, a man who owned the restaurant I worked in until I was five months along with my first.

Home now, just opened a bottle of Pinot, and feeling too mentally challenged to play scrabble, we may either sing karaoke for a while or watch a movie. Either way, I don’t have to get up to do anything for anyone, and that is automatically a good night.

Happy New Year, everyone.
