2.1.10

staying at home...being jealous of people who have "outdoor rooms"

so i guess sometimes a good decision can sometimes still make you sad...i decided not to go to atlanta today with shawn, and although i'm really sad to miss out on seeing friends and family, i know it was the right decision to stay here and rest some more before going back to work on monday. still trying to decide which combo of mono + bronchitis or mono + flu most matches the description of my last week. i guess whatever the name, the non-stop fun is indisputable! (don't ask why getting the doctor's opinion turned out not to be possible, even after the 2.5 hours spent in his office.)
anyway, christmas, new year's, and an impromptu living room redo to incorporate the new coffin bookcase that shawn got for christmas have left our house feeling rather...cozy...let's say. i have GOT to do some cleaning before going back to school! the holidays were GREAT! mom and rick's visit to g'vegas was really fun--if you ever get a chance to go to the lazy goat in downtown, definitely do! the truffle oil fries (of course!) and the italian grilled cheese are wonderful, and the lazy yet uniquely mediterranean atmosphere is very nice.
new year's eve was also wonderful, of course, since shawn is traditionally in charge of the entertainment on that night. we have always done a dancing activity, so after video ballroom lessons the last two years, this year we rang in the new year with dance dance revolution and on tv...as always...the univision new year's eve celebration (with occasional forays onto cnn to see anderson cooper embarrass himself with kathy griffin).
here's wishing everyone a wonderful 2010, and fulfillment of dreams and/or resolutions as applicable! for this year, my resolution is to do more in support of organizations (big and small) that aid homeless and abandoned dogs and cats...
