long time gone

hello, loyal readers. i'm so sorry for the delay in posting, but someone took my blogging spirit away from me. can you help me find it?

i'm slouching towards the end of 07 tired and cranky and sick with a cold, but i'm trying to remain smiley. at least i am 48 hours away from a tropical getaway, so that's nice and should cheer me up, unless the portuguese man-o-wars or sharks are too active. i did read in 'men's health' (i purchased it for work purposes; believe me, i have no need to learn 27 new ways to pleasure a woman orally) that you should never pee in the ocean as sharks are attracted to bodily fluids. oops.

i have to be honest and tell you that i had a few personal and professional disappointments delivered in my stocking like so much coal this holiday season, so i'm smarting a little. that said, 07 was a banner year, and i feel ungrateful to kali or buddha or pele or hillary complaining, yet still i must.

so, in the hopes of making myself feel better and boring you to death, here are a few highlights from 07:

* i know i've said this before, but dogs will change your life. every minute you don't have one in your life is a minute that could be made better if only you had one. that said, i know circumstances don't allow everyone to surround themselves with furry friends (of the canine sort), but if they do, and you just haven't made the leap, i suggest you get thee to the nearest rescue and get one. lo-lo and jackson are the gifts that keep on giving, and that is saying a lot given the flatulence and leash agresssion we must constantly deal with. in 07, these two somehow grew even more adorable and special. and now you may commence vomiting.

* the mister and i -- though sometimes in danger of finding a pool and holding the other underwater for as long as possible -- had some good times, good friends, good travels and good fortune this year, so that was good. he's a keeper.

* my nephews are almost as awesome as my dogs. almost.

* l.a. finally got some rain. woot woot.

* my attempt at doing my own thing professionally succeeded and i'm working very hard to stop waiting for the other shoe to fall, though i think genetics are standing in my way on that front. thanks, mom!

* the new pornographers show at the fonda was insanely great.

* made it to sea ranch twice in one year.

* spent two amazing weeks in europe with the moms. seriously a once-in-a-lifetime opp and a highly recommend it as long as you have a xanax prescription.

* my 37th bday was spent at disneyland with some amazing friends who indulged my need for churros and peter pan rides.

ok, i do feel better, even if that was incredibly self-indulgent. i'll weigh in with more perspectives of the pop cultural variety later when i return to normal.
