Sure, I'd like to lose some weight... but more than that, this year I want to give people more positive feedback and encouragement. Too often I talk about problems and skim over successes or joys. Including myself as "people", too.

I'm generally happy with where my life is at, at the moment... new things to discover and learn, new possibilities, improvement and change in that which is here. Although the job front may be scary in 2006, given probable NASA layoffs in the fall, as well as a wave of mandatory relocations prior to then. All I can do is work hard, be creative, write more research proposals and be confident that things will somehow work out.

Last night, I went to a party at the [profile] thechoirloft with James and Kevin... [profile] patgreene had a cold and didn't want to go out, and David opted to go to bed early. So I wore the vintage tuxedo jacket, black tie, studs and wingtips and added the top hat for effect... received lots of comments, and a few stunned looks. In that group, I'd have gotten fewer glances if I were wearing nothing, I think ;) It was lots of fun, and I found myself happily circulating among friends, in the company of one or more of [personal profile] tenacious_snail, cohost [personal profile] cyan_blue and [personal profile] inflectionpoint. I called [personal profile] geekchick and Nancy after midnight in their respective timezones, sent [personal profile] dawnd a text message and then finally kissed [profile] patgreene when I returned home around 2:30am.

Today, our church moved its Sunday services to 5pm... so I had the rare luxury of sleeping in until 9:30am or so, instead of typically being up at 7:30. And watched football cuddled with Pat, before cooking our usual New Year's dinner of ham, macaroni and cheese casserole, and fried, caramelized apple slices. This evening... our church was overflowing, with standees in the back. Tonight... perhaps take Pat out to see "The Producers" movie.

You were stunning. The outfit, and the hat suited you so very well.

Happy new year! And thanks to you and TS for an escort to my car. Yay!

If you were in a spot and needed it, I would drive up from the South Bay to give you an escort... let alone 50 feet from the Choirloft. :)

Yup. And that is part of why you -and- TS and the entity -you and TS- have a little house in my heart.
