Happy New Year!

"Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present. It is thine.
Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart."

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
("Womanly" heart is how I want to read that. LOL)

We had the car yesterday (did not overheat, thank goodness) and ran to the grocery store. Spent most of the day vegetating and were only blocks from home when BH called to tell us to go home and not pick up Sharky - he was giving him a ride after they did some pre-inventory stuff.

Boys fixed an awesome Fla-Tex-Mex dinner and we ate close to 8:00 p.m. (eek!) but Sharky was home at least. The boys got back on WoW and the rest of us were in bed before 11:00 p.m. We let them stay up because they were helping our friend "respec" his hunter. School starts back up on Monday and there will be no more days/nights of play, so Sharky is trying to be a bit lenient.

Rained most of the night, putting a damper (hah) on the usual New Years Eve fireworks and gun shows. Thank goodness!

I had Gimped a pic of me from Samhain for an avatar on FB. It was the only decent picture, poor Sharky has a knack of capturing me making bizarre faces. *sigh* I don't actually like it but I have no others of any decency. Well, got a few compliments from girlfriends (of course) but CW saw it yesterday and posted the comment "Very nice." I don't know how it was meant, but I will accept it. Saw a pic of LJ by accident on another high school "friend's" page. Freaked me out, I hadn't thought of her in a long time. Of course, she's another that looks like she hasn't aged a freaking day. Why am I the only old hag of the class???
