2008

Julie, me, Rachel

2008 came with drinking, dancing, fireworks and a raging headache. Hung out at Rachel's before heading to the Octagon for the band and fireworks. We had a fabulous time! I'm not sure where I'm looking in the picture, at the fireworks maybe?, but it's the only pic where all 3 of our faces were in the frame. After the fireworks we checked out a couple of clubs...The Fever, which had great 70's music but the crowd was even too old for me...then another club, at which the crowd was a bit young and by that point I had a major headache so the music wasn't helping. So we called it quits sometime after 2 o'clock...I know Rachel and Julie could have kept on going but I had had enough. I don't know what I was thinking, not drinking any water and not taking any aspirin before going to bed, so I woke with an even worse headache. But it wasn't long before I was re-hydrated and I was feeling alright. The 1st was beautiful and I washed my sheets and got them out on the line...nothing quite like fresh sheets dried in the sun! And I celebrated New Year's eve yet again as it turned midnight in MN and I was on the phone with Mindy, Tammy and Michele...I'm glad I didn't miss celebrating with you three completely! I have been dividing my time between 2 homes for a few days while Deanna was camping...taking care of our cats and the cats De is sitting for. And the last couple of days I've spent watching the 1st season of Heroes and making scalloped potatoes and ham and pea and ham soup...trying to make use of the left-over ham from Christmas. I'm back at work today...flipped over the calendar and realized I missed my medical exam for my diving course this morning - crap! Now the doctor is on vacation for 3 weeks, so I had to run home for the list of doctors that do these exams and scheduled another appointment for 3 days before my course begins - whew! And I only have 2 weeks left to get all my studying done for the course...I'm a little (maybe alot) behind on that!
