Back to work tommorrow...boo. It may only be for a couple hours but still, booooo.

I have really very much enjoyed having the last couple days to accomplish things and I definately am going to use this light work week to do even more. I cleaned the carpets last night instead of going to a Jewish Singles-ish thing at the Walnut Brewery. Friday night I cooked and baked and spent most of the time in the kitchen instead of going to a Jewish Singles-ish thing at Rise. There was a little "controversy" over the two events this year. I don't really know how either went since I really don't know anyone that actually went to either. I thought about going on Friday night, since the place is walking distance from my work, which meant covered and easy parking, and then realized...really hard walking in a place and situation like that by myself, so didn't go and cooked and was domestic instead (which totally included framing and hanging some art and painting a wall, and not in that particular order).

Dad put together my sideboard today. Wee. Now instead of cramming my cupboards full of stuff that I will never actually use, now it is all crammed into the sideboard, but damn that sideboard rules. Thanks to the bro that went through hell to get it back here from Ikea on the East Coast.

I know its a little early for New Years resolutions and junk, but here is mine... no more consumption of things unless it replaces something I have broken or the purchase is something which will make my life a gabillion times better. I have more than enough stuff thankyouverymuch. I so don't need anything. No dishware, no booze, no candy, no paper, no pens, no clothes, no shoes (wait... did I really type that?), no candles until I use every single one that I have in this house, no books, nothing. I am surrounded by stuff right now and it is so overwhelming. I have done a really great job of hiding my packrat tendencies but seriously...its completely grossing me out.

I am sending 18...yes 18 martini glasses and four martini shakers to my friend Jim. Why do I have 18 fakaktah martini glasses? I don't really even know 18 people that I would have at my house at one time. I have these crystal martini glasses that are huge and I am keeping those since they were very expensive and a great buy, but they are in the sideboard which means not particularly easy to get to. I have one shaker that is more than enough and a pitcher for those that don't like to bruise their gin or vodka with a hard pounce of the ice, but that is plenty.

And really, what is the most frightening, is looking at my cabinets, you couldn't tell the difference an iota. Its scarey. Way too much stuff. Lets place bets now on how long it takes to break the resolution though. I give it 30 days.
