I've decided to not to make any resolutions for the coming year. I did really well with my resolution this year and I don't want to screw that up. This year I resolved to start drinking my coffee black. I figured what with my SIP coming up and the difficulty of getting half and half in the psych commons, this was a truly practical, achievable resolution. And I was so right. Plus it makes me feel cooler. Now there is no way I could match that resolution this year so I'm not even going to try. This was so much better than 2004 when I resolved to stop using the word "relationship." I think drinking my coffee black has helped me to not use the word "relationship," or maybe it's just being away from Covenant.
This last day of the year really seems like the cold, dark, dry end of something in our house. It was supposed to snow today but the clouds just hung down farther and farther and nothing came out of them. The heat isn't working. We think we're out of oil in the furnace. Now it's dark outside. I like the last day of the year, though. It gives me a sense of completion. Another year successfully finished, cross that off my list.

Posted by: sperlonga at January 1, 2006 3:59 PMwe are not actually freezing, but we're not sure why. I think the heat from downstairs is coming up through the floor.

Posted by: Jeannette at January 4, 2006 10:54 AMA bit dangerous getting warm in front of an oven door. They're not vented for heating purposes, so could cause a build up of dangerous gasses. Don't do it.
