Internet-I'm back!

While I was hoping that I'd start the new year off with a complete redesign I've come to the conclusion that a woman can only do so many things at once.

Yesterday when I left work I started thinking about all the events that have transpired in my life this year. Some momentous, others heartbreaking and yet others-simple but necessary.

A big one for me was my transition from 'graduated college person' to 'old chick'. You realize that you've joined a new class of people when your idea of a Saturday night is a good book, hot tea, nice dinner and pleasant company whilst bare faced.

I've spent many of my evenings this year reading, cooking, creating, laughing, writing horrid emails to friends in which I discuss every insecurity in detail & eating. (Ok, there has considerable time spent asleep after 10pm on the couch because I refuse to admit that I can't hang anymore.)

In summation-this has probably been the biggest growing year of my life.

I learned that friendship challenges the way I interact with people and that real life has provided me with all the companionship any woman could ask for.

I love the internet and I love my internet friends, but I've come to realize that real people are my people. The people who compose my christmas card list are the people I learn from. They are the people who inspire me on a daily basis. They are the people who pick me up when I'm dizzy from another migraine. They are the people who leave messages on my voicemail with silly jokes or songs. They are the people who I send my you aren't going to believe this shit emails to.

My only wish for the new year is that 2005 is as complelling for me and the people I love as 2004.

It will also be the year where I get married.
The same year I will use my grant money to take a class.
The one where I will learn to sew with my new sewing machine.
And the same year where I'll seep all the benefits from my new promotion.


May this next year be a superb one for you & yours.
