Happy 2009!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and anything else I missed.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. My Christmas was extremely quiet. Charlie and I spent the morning together and then went to his sister-in-law's house. I had never met any of his family (after two years of dating!) so that was interesting in itself. However, things went smoothly. His sister's family was very warm and welcoming and his mother was also very nice. Later, Charlie said they were happy to have proof he wasn't gay. I guess when you are almost 50 and haven't brought anyone home in almost 10 years, people will wonder.
I got Charlie an iPod, it was time for him to join the 21st century, and he got me a necklace that we will be returning for something a little less...shiny. It is the thought that counts, though.
We had a few people over for New Years and otherwise we just hung out. However, the good thing to come from spending 3-4 days not leaving the house? I finally cleared both my TiVo's and actually attacked a few of the shows I had converted over to DVD. I am totally up to date on about 85% of the shows I am watching regularly. Hey, that's real progress!
So not that much to report, but I wanted to check in and wish everyone prosperity, peace and joy in the new year.
