I think at this point it's getting cliche, me starting each post lately with an apology for not posting in awhile. That seems to happen a lot of late... so all I can say is I'll update this blog when I'm able and feel like it. So check back periodically, you never know what I might post.
We had a beautiful snowstorm over the weekend here in D.C. It effectively shut the region down (though I don't think it was quite as bad as the one back in 2003). I like snow, my knee pains aside, and I think we're due for a snowy winter.
I got my holiday shopping done, my holiday tree is lit and pretty (I finally got a real one this year). Sean and I are preparing to go visit my parents tomorrow...
Most of all I am excited that 2009 is coming to a close. What a BITCH of a year! Let's examine the shiteous things that happened, shall we...
- I got laid off my last job (though I got a sweet severance package and a new job that started the week after, so I made bank this year)
- My new job, while paying significantly more $, also comes with more demands and stress.
- Sean's job stresses him out even more.
- My friend got arrested for something that wasn't their fault.
- The national economy continued to fucking tank.
- Sean and I went through a rough patch around Halloween.
- Sean's condo was flooded.
Of course it wasn't all
that bad. There were bright spots - the inauguration parties, a fabulous birthday party, a trip to Canada with Sean, a trip to Utah, New York City, Rehoboth.
At any rate, 2010 will bring great new things, I am sure, for all of us! Starting with a trip in early January to Mexico - a great start if I may say so.
Be safe this HOliday season (including you, Drunky, don't drink and drive!).
Happy HOlidays from
The Poison Pen!
