MMIX

Happy New Year! You know I had to bust out with roman numerals, right? It was either that or binary code. hehe

I stayed up just till midnight, then conked out and slept until about 10am. Christmas prep and stuff tired me out. And tomorrow I go back to work, then tax temp job...so I need sleep, now.

I've been playing with my camera, tweeting and reading blogs. I don't yet have a clear plan for the year. Some things I want to do include:

Getting my driver's license...finally!
Finishing this book I started writing when I was 15.
Marketing the shop better
Getting an independent site up
Remember to enjoy the ride...only get to do this once.

I wish you a wonderful year!

Yatta!

I did it!

Yesterday I blogged about willing my camera to me. And yesterday it arrived in the mail! *beams*

I do expect there to be a huge learning curve. Our point-and-shoot, which shall be kept for the moment at least, for Bro2 to tinker with more in depth, doesn't begin to compare. So much fun! I'm lovin' it.

Almost here, almost there...depends on where you're going, I guess.

I hope everyone's having a good holiday season. My Christmas was very nice. I'm getting a new camera! A Canon DSLR. It's on back-order because my dad had to get a black body. All the ones we've seen in stores had black bodies, he said. hehe. I'm willing it to me. C'mon camera!

Merry Christmas

I should have been wrapping presents last night. It has turned into something of a tradition, now that we're (the brothers and I) are older and helpful, to wrap presents on Christmas Eve. All of them, each sequestered in some part of the house, snatching bits of paper and ribbon.

Instead, I willed the presents to wrap themselves and played for you a little song. Sorry for the horrible lighting. New camera, present from the parents, is on back-order. (excitement!) Regular blogging shall resume later next week.

Enjoy!

It snowed a little much, yesterday. They banned semi-trucks from the road. My friend and I went to that party, more like a small gathering...not at all a party in the TV sense. It was fun, five of us playing cards eating lasagna and brownies, swapping Christmas tradition stories, and petting the 'lion' cat. Found out I'm broccoli. (long story) :)
I'm glad I went.
