Anyhow. I started new year's morning with a banana and two turtles. I love turtles, they are the deliciousness.

We returned from Wise, VA yesterday. It was actually closer to 7 hours to get there, and as we got in at 4 am and people started waking up at 8 am, we were sleep deprived all weekend. DIdn't get a chance to go hiking due to some really crappy weather on sunday, however we know there is a vast potential out there waiting to be tapped on some empty weekend. There were over 30 poeple there, all related to Drew by blood or marriage. For me, a large family gathering is where there's at least 6 of us, so this was definitely a little strange. It was more entertaining then any other family gathering of a significant other I've been to, so I guess things worked out. That and I was stuffed like a hog the entire time.

The New Year was actually started while playing Civ and drinking homemade fruity alcoholic beverages and wating edamame. A little later, my computer froze and we lost all of our game progress. Thus, today I'm going in search of new RAM, something I've needed to do for quite a long time.

My only real New Year's resolution is to not waste so much time on the computer doing dumb crap. I don't seem to have nearly enough time to do many other things I'd like to do, this my 1/2 completed sewing project, my non-working sewing machine, my depressed linux box, my several unfinished drawings, my stack of partially read books.

I totally forgot to mention, for actual new year's we stepped out on my balcony and lit a few sparklers I had lying around. I could hear a dull roar coming in the direction of Carytown. I have a feeling there were alot of people there, maybe next year I'll try to go to their new year's shindig if they have it again. That is, assuming I'm not too busy cursing all of the other people in attendance for taking up all of my good parking spaces.
