As Hannukah comes to a close, Christmas is moments away and Kwanzaa is upon is, I'd like to take this moment to say Thank You to all who've checked in, who've read the blog, who've listened to the radio show, and who cared. For me, 2006 was a year of very high highs and some very low lows... Yet I've come to understand that that is what makes a year interesting... To all involved in the highs: thanks you so very much and may 2007 be the best year so far for you! To all involved in the lows: I wish you peace & growth and may 2007 be the best year so far for you!

Much love to all...

PEACE,
-Ty

In (as I remember) a record since whats-is-name, I had a total of 3+ telephone number exchanges this evening. Don't ask about the "+" - it happened, but I'm not claiming it... Anyway, I must've been looking as good as I felt, which is the best in a long time - cause it was flirtation all around and that felt good. I even had a kiss this evening. A nice one.

However, I was also made to feel a prude for not going home with the one I liked. Uh... Yeah... Been there, done that, got the t-shirt... Somehow it's become prudish to say to someone that you'd rather wait and see them again and have dinner, or AT LEAST a full conversation after knowing their last name, before jumping into bed... And NO, "cuddling" is NOT an excuse to get me home... But WOW, is he cute!!! out of town for the next 2 weeks, so we'll see. But WOW: Beautiful, intelligent and cares about people (and the world) other than himself... I'd forgotten they existed...

They do exist, right?

Finally out of work for the year!! First vacation in a year & a half and I'm spending it working on a BRAND NEW project! You'll be all over it in about 5 weeks! SO GLAD! Finally. '06 is almost over and, frankly, I'm glad. It's been a hard year pour moi. I'm having drinks with friends, see ya...

Well, I look forward all year to my holiday gatherings, but this was not one of my faves. In fact, my least favorite! It was originally fun, off to a decent start, though I was running around like a madman... But then, a couple of people arrived that were not in the adult, cocktail-party mode of the rest of us who'd started off, and the friends they brought with them, were even less classy... Despite the tacky ones, the majority of people were fantastic and wonderful. Though not everyone mingled well - friends and coworkers alike... I feel bad for them having to put up with riff-raff, but the jerks weren't my friends to reprimand, and after the first 2 tries, I gave up and retreated to the back of the flat with my friends. Definitely, the last of the mixed-guest-list parties...

The season's here. I'm running, running, running... Craziness. Getting my tree this evening. Party on Friday, my party is Saturday... Work is so busy and I need sleep. Otherwise it's great... except I think I need to switch to decaf...

Weekend coming to an end and I'm happy about it... I'm exhausted! My date was nice last night. First date I've had in months & months. Dinner, movie (Fast Food Nation - skip it!) and drinks. Fun. Not sure what I'm ready for, but it was nice, nevertheless...

Today, I chilled and visited with my out of town guest, and then made dinner with leftovers: Turkey & vegetable soup that was SO good!! And Risotto with Turkey, bacon, onions, parmesan, asparagus, etc... DELICIOUS!!! Friends loved it... Anyway, heading to bed to feel a bit better prepped for my upcoming week, than I did last week!

And as requested, here's a new photo... See ya!!!

So much better....

Thanks for the thoughts, Sorry I've been so spaced and distant. I realize that the accident threw me really hard, emotionally... Anyway, I've been writing a lot lately, working on a new project and going after something that I've been trying to do for a few years. Back on track! Getting ready for Thanksgiving - which is at my house, and then a holiday cocktail party next month... So, here I am, right now, figuring it all out...
