Saw two great movies yesterday. Four Christmases, yes a little late in the season, but fun. I actually found myself a little emotional about it. Of course it stands to reason, coming off of the holiday, and the movie dealing with fractured families….anyways. It was great. The cast was stellar, all of the principals except Vince Vaughn, have been nominated/awarded an Academy Award. I know, right? crazy.

We then hopped over into the Benjamin Button movie and let me just say, yes. it’s long. but in my opinion…totally worth it. every minute. It was heartbreakingly lovely. Tender and kind and layered and just really a great story. I encourage you all to give it a cookie lookie.

Ran by the store for a few essentials then came home to just be a little lazy. Today is my day of organizing and getting clear for the new year. Taking down all the Christmas. Getting the tree outta here, i need to research on how to dispose of it. Ex Him used to just dump it in the bar dumpster…hmmmm. will figure it out.

This year is already setting up to be a social one. Going to see a friends band tonight. Tomorrow our Colts are in the playoffs. Sunday is play committee meeting. Working next week, Thursday OU plays in the Championship game, Saturday after work MGirl and I are heading to her hometown of Tulsa to spend a little time in her stomping grounds. WHEW! I have auditions coming up on the 17th. well. That’s a Saturday, so I’ll go on the 18th. I’m excited about it. I’m picking up more scripts to read on Sunday…hmmmm. I’ve got to get a copy of one of my photos from the NYC shoot…

so anyways, I digress. I’m going to have one more cup of coffee, a little bite to eat then hit this house with the cleaning stick. I’ll check in and let ya know how goes it!

what are you doing today?

2009.

has a lovely ring to it, yes?

I have but a few minutes, and promise more details and topical discussion when I get back from the movies. I just wanted to touch base, tell you I had a GREAT NYE. Went over to M’Lynns and hung with the Gal Pals. We had a lovely meal, with proper crystal and place settings. We sang Taylor Swift and danced in the kitchen. We laughed. We laughed more. We sat by the fire. We counted down and went outside to toast champagne glasses and look at the sky on the first second of the newyear.

The party wrapped shortly after that first second but M’Lynn and I, true to form, stayed up and sang more Taylor, added in some Trisha, finished up with some Pat Green and danced and cleaned the kitchen and talked and sung and danced more. I got home sometime after three in the a.m. and slept till noon. Blessed blessed friends!!!

No, there weren’t any NYE kisses, but that’s ok. I have recently discovered that I am in a committed relationship. I can’t be off kissing just anyone.

on that note…I’m getting more coffee and putting myself in the shower. Then gathering with Joe, Gert and MGirl for some cinema therapy!

MUAH to you and yours. This is the best time of the year,everyone starts fresh. I’ll tell you my thoughts and goals for this year in a later post, but I would love to hear what yours are?
