Who'da thunk it? That I would see 2012???? Well - here I am..fairly fit and healthy ready to take on a new year!!! My back issues are still here...but I seem to be able to tolerate them better...Getting out of bed is still a huge problem - but fortunately getting INTO bed isn't...LOL.....I am glad the holidays are over...however...this holiday season was wonderful - and fairly stressless....
New Year's Eve was dinner at Jocelyn's house...she was baby-sitting her grandkids (another "who'da thunk it!) so Marcia came down and took me over there. We had baby back ribs which were wonderful/ Marcia was busy making cupcakes for a friend's birthday....she is getting quite accomplished at the cake decorating and baking thing. I wish she could open her own bakery!! Or be able to work in one to learn the ropes. My favorite this time were the chocolate-Irish Creme ones!!
Jocelyn brought me home and I went down to the building New Year party...they were playing CLR (a dice game) and I won three pots....I now have enough quarters to do ALL my laundry...now I need to get the gumption to go down the hall and DO IT!
Yesterday (New Year's day) I went over to Dian's to go down to Idlywild park and watch Nigel and Chris participate in the Polar Bear thing to go into the water, They are crazy! There was a large crowd of them....some in string bikinis! it was a cvold and windy day, for gosh sakes! This was a fund raiser for Special Olympics. Nigel raised over $300...one guy pledged 50cents for every second he stayed in the water....he lasted 46 seconds - the last to come out.....Chris was the first to come out..pehaps he lasted 2 seconds! It was fun to watch - and a good cause!!
I got home in time to go down and watch the Seahawks lose in their last game...Had a nice visit from my friend across the hall who came over to look at the incredible calendar Jocelyn made for us for Christmas....It is nice to have friends again!! This morning while walking Fritz, I heard another friend yelling at me from the 4th floor inviting me up to visit...of course we went. I share a birthday with her - which is fun.
So...next big deal is my birthday Saturday....Don't know what we'll be doing. When they asked me what I wanted to do - I replied "I want to eat a good steak!".,..so guess that will be happening! (Wouldn't mind a lobster tail thrown in...tee hee!)
Got to take down the decorations from my door - so better get at it!
