Auld Lang Syne

I'm not so sad to leave 2007 behind. All in all, it was not a banner year. Yes, we are all happy and healthy. But this was the year I realized my marriage is much more fragile than I believed (and you can read all about that tomorrow in the blog exchange, cliffhanger!) I broke my tailbone, and once that happened I lost the weight lost battle. We are still in the same house with no immediate plans to move, and on the eve on a new year, I'm just feeling blah. Yet, I'm sitting in my parents gorgeous beach house (where Doug broke their several hundred dollar remote control, don't ask), drinking a delicious Pinot Noir, listening to my husband and delightful son play upstairs. I really don't have anything to complain about. Yet, I feel, unsettled. In a stalemate. Like a hamster on a wheel running in circles but not getting anywhere. I by nature am not a melancholy person. But for some reason, this New Years Eve, that is exactly how I feel, melancholy. Happy New year to you all. I so cherish this blog and my readers and the true friends it has brought me. Thank you for letting me be a little part of your life. Your comments and emails mean the world to me, and as cheesy as it sounds, I cherish every single one. No matter what you are doing tonight, be safe. Let Hollywood set an example for you and take a cab. And tomorrow really is blog exchange. I was not kidding.

I hear ya. I'm not exactly a barrel of laughs this evening either. I guess I just feel old. I don't have plans and it's the first year in many years that that has happened. Well last year I was busy recovering from a C-section but that doesn't count. The husband is watching football and I plan to continue my Project Runway marathon until I go to bed around 11. Woo hoo, happy crazy new year. Blah.

It doesn't sound cheesy, not even a little bit.
