Why do I owe Geoff many nights of babysitting his youngin’ when she gets here?

Because now I can post asides.

Much sadness has been brought to my attention today.  No, not because of the death of our 38th president, although he made a great SNL character.. but because they left the flourescent lighting on through the entire holiday, my photo booth strips are now yellowed and faded.  This makes me very sad.

Which means that there is a need for new ones.

I know this feeling will fade, but hang on for just a minute and indulge me.. I am glad to be back at work. ::breathe::

This week is always sparse, since a lot of people just go ahead and take the entire week off and spend it with their kids.  However, being a DINKs(orta), I’m back at work.  I shall save my vacation for the beach.  Because I have not been in .. damn.  It’s been close to five years, which is inexcusable.

Everyone starts this week off “on the ball”, as if they’ve been renewed by the Resolutions.  Everyone has their little organizer set up (that will be gathering dust by March), they have their clothes ironed (and dry-cleaned for the last time until July, when they pack them up), and they are smiling (this will last until Monday, at the latest).  It’s cute.

It was nice to lay in bed last night with my hubby and talk.  We usually just laugh and do Sonic commercials in bed –we SOO want to be the couple in the Sonic commercials, but, you know, funny– but last night, we got deep.  We talked about our year that we just finished; our regrets, our growths, and our hopes for next year.  It was nice to know where we stand, and where we’re going.  I never thought I’d want that stability, to know what the other one is thinking about the future.. but it makes all the difference.

Anyway, today looks slow for me, so I’m gonna play with design today.

Lord help us.
