A New Year's Day

[browncoat2x2]

Is it fair to wake up on New Year's Day, feeling like you have a hangover, without having had a drop of alcohol the night before?

*grumbles*

It is the last day of my vacation, and the last time I posted was on the first day of my vacation. Looking back, it was a pretty good break, overall. Visited family on 4 days, visited friends on two of the days, went shopping for one full day and a couple quick trips on two other days, and relaxed and did basically nothing for two and a half days. Not bad. Did I get everything done I wanted to get done? Not even close. Did I relax? Somewhat. Did I enjoy the week? Absolutely.

With the exception of Christmas Eve, I did not go to bed before 3 am ONCE this week, and was often up till 4am, and even 6am on my first night :oD

And *that* boys and girls is why I feel hung over without the fun of getting drunk the night before.

Looking back, 2006 was a pretty shiny year overall. Lot's of new experiences for me, and because I'm feeling nostalgic, here's a little list in random order:


My brother and his girlfriend had a baby! Wheeee! I became an aunt!
I found the LJ Firefly comms and all a' you *waves* Hi flist!
I went to Montreal for the first time, and got to meet goldy_dollar while I was there.
I went to SFX and got to hang with elizalavelle and meet a bunch of other browncoats, including noneofyours and willowcat, and saw styrofoam_guy again, and lots of others who are and aren't on LJ, and of course – meet Morena Baccarin and Christina Hendricks :oD *happy sigh*
I got to meet a bunch of the Canadian Browncoats and help out at the Charity Screening of Serenity. That was such a great night.
I was squired at the Trillium War.
I got to shoot automatic weapons at the armouries at a shindig.
I got to meet hjea at a shindig in Toronto!
I met the Quills Inc. gals, who are such a great trio :oD and I made a truly BFF in terimaru *waves*
I got called into court and praised for my fighting and was given an axe from the King, and later a dagger blade from another Knight.
I gained an on-line wife! *waves at agent_rouka*
I wrote more stories this year than I ever have before in my life :oD and got hopelessly stalled a time or two, too. *grumbleChoicesgrumble*
I was awarded my Scarlet Banner for fighting *is proud*
I got a Laptop!
I redid my Kitchen! and my Sitting Room!!!

Well.. I'm sure there was lots more.. but those are just a few that immediately come to mind.

So long 2006! Here's looking forward to 2007 bein' even better!

*pounces on you*

YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER.

Everyone went away this week. (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU ALL. NEVER.) Last night I even considered sending you an angry "UPDATE YOUR LJ NOW" email.

Anyway! Wheeeeeee! A post! *G*

I'm so glad you had a great vacation. Up until 6am? (I couldn't! Seriously, I couldn't!)

And... it sounds like you had SUCH a great year. Meeting MORENA! GOING TO COURT! Redoing your kicthen! GOING TO MONTREAL AND MEETING MEEEEEEEE.

Best wishes for 2007, darling!
