Think of the Cabbies
Dec 31st
S and I are having some friends over to bring in the New Year. Our first guest is already here so I should log off.
Whatever it is you’re up tonight, have fun and most importantly, stay safe.
And don’t forget to think of the cabbies!

“Why didn’t you blog about the conversations that were had last night?” S asked me after reading this post.
“I wasn’t quite sure how much detail I should go into,” I replied.
“They were the most interesting part of the evening,” she eagerly replied.
So, here goes:

Some friends of ours, K and P, just left and I’d really like to sit and write about all the things I’ve been meaning to write about, but I am so out of it. This whole being off of work and doing the whole Christmas thing has thrown me for a loop. I haven’t kept very good track of days. I thought last Wednesday felt like a Friday so I’ve been a few days behind for awhile now. Yesterday felt like a Tuesday or Wednesday so I kept expecting to hear the mailman walking on our front porch.
S and I have been running around doing the family thing, having friends over and huddling in the basement watching movies. I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for tomorrow, maybe more movie watching. Maybe I’ll get to blog about all of the ideas twirling around in my head.
To whoever is reading this, I hope your holidays have been good as we wind down 2008. Look for a few more “wordy” posts in the next few days – hopefully.

Even though I was really dreading it, last night wasn’t all that bad. We had my friend M and her boyfriend D over for dinner. M can be quite caustic and negative and so we were expecting to hear plenty of snide comments about the house and us too.
After being inside for a grand total of three minutes, M said, “wow, the kitchen looks just like it did the last time I was here – cluttered.” In her next breath, she followed that up with “your house is in such a desolate area.” (This coming from the girl who’s packing it all in and moving to a city with a population of less than a million people and where the neighbours ask, “where you out of?”)
S took one for the team and did most of the entertaining/chatting while I kept to the kitchen getting dinner ready.
Grumpy Host
Dec 27th
We’re expecting company over for dinner in about an hour. A large part of me wishes they’d call and say that they can’t make it. I’d rather curl up with S and watch one of the many movies we got this past week.
Alas, I should get ready for our guests. I really don’t feel like entertaining tonight, or rather, I don’t feel like entertaining them. They’re quite caustic, cynical and I’m sure much mocking will be done of S and I.
The good part? S and I are well stocked in alcohol, so we’ll be able to dull the pain a bit that way.
