first new year's post

holy, i blink and it's already january 3rd!

so, lots to report on. canuckian and i held a "puppy open house" for our friends, whereby they could meet chili and hang with us at the same time. it was great; chili was being nippy at the fingers and toes a bit, but other than that it was wonderful to see everyone again. business woman and her sister were so sweet, they brought a cake that said "welcome chili". there was so much food we actually didn't get around to eating it when everyone was here, so canuckian and i tucked into it afterwards. we're talking rich butter icing, glucose-saturated pound cake, mmm...the kind where you know the sugar will migrate DIRECTLY to your ass and thighs. sooo good.

the day before new year's eve, canuckian and i went to get our hair cut. i won't give too many details, but suffice it to say i came out of the hair salon with a very drastic new do! i'm still getting used to it but so far the comments have been positive. so g and kiwigirl, you'll just have to wait and see!

new year's was pretty good. e-mail and our friend (i shall call her "mutton face") threw a dinner party at mutton face's house - apparently the briscuit/brisket/brisquet was FABULOUS, though i wouldn't know as i don't eat beef! sorry, inside joke, you had to be there. we were supposed to go out dancing afterwards, but due to a slight ticket fiasco, we didn't get tickets to anything, so we ended up dancing in the den when the clock struck midnight! kind of "high-school dance party" - especially since e-mail busted out the old school tracks - but it was great! nothing like a little bel biv devoe to get your groove on.

talk about serendipity: i was suppose to meet sillyhead for drinks late last night. so i was downtown, with no idea where he was going to be except somewhere on henry street. i head to the cafe that i know of at the corner of baldwin and henry, and proceed to wait for him, leaving messages on his girlfriend's american cell phone (they're up visiting from ohio). i wait for forty-five minutes and was going to leave when i thought i'd give him one more chance and called the cell. he picked up finally and guess where he was? in the same cafe but in the other room! talk about weird! and the funny thing is that everytime i called his cell i heard a cell phone go off in the distance, but thought it was just a coincidence.

okay, enough blogging, it's 12:30 and i'm still in my jammies.
