The year is winding down...

[phyncke]

And I have done my last laundry for 2007. That sort of feels like a milestone. Went to the laundry and did my last two loads for this year. I saw the laundry mat lady and we had a nice little kibbitz. I really do like my neighborhood and the funny thing about living in a college town is that we get it back during the holidays. It is quiet and the streets are ours again. This time of year is when you feel like a local...you live here and this is your town. Some years I am back east, and some years I am here. It feels good to be hanging with the homeys.

New Year's is up in the air but I really want to have a steak...with potatoes and broccoli. I think I will line that up. I want low key and I really don't want to be out there driving. Don't want to be a statistic. All sorts of idiots on the road new year's eve. I have not been a party girl since I was in my 20's. Those days are long gone. I may even stay in this year as my friends are being cagey and indecisive and I have about had it with that. Make up your mind, will you?

A good movie and some Baileys...hmm. It is all to be decided.

I actually like the turning of the year. Makes me think about things and reflect. Good that.
