catch up ketchup catsup
happy 2005 & holidays & hump days (uh, tomorrow)... i hope everyone has safely returned from their far-off lands, and have settled back into the hum and the drum of life.
quick recap on my two week sabatical from this blog:
1. went to FLA to visit the fam & had a great time (despite chilly weather and a broken dishwasher). even squeezed a quick trip to naples in there, to see cousins and grandma. it was weird driving through all the hurricane damage... that seems so long ago, yet clearly the impact is still being felt, very strongly.
2. i'm quite glad to be back in SF now (where the people are liberal and the restaurants aren't chains). guess you can say it's grown on me.
3. i made it back just in time to spend new year's eve with a few of my friends. we had an crazy night of board games and champagne. for the record, i'm the reigning scrabble champion in my office right now. i have officially beat the copy writer (ahem, chris) and now one of the engineers. that's two notches on my belt and more to come.
4. my little bro had some exciting news - he's gettin' hitched!
5. i officially started the "Teasing Of My Sisters" ritual which i've been holding back all year long... since it is now 2005, the floodgates have opened (they turn 30 in just a few short months!). let the fun begin!
6. i got a game boy advance for christmas which i love love love love love.
7. my bro and i cleaned out my parents' garage as our gift for my dad. it was a long, scary, and strangely fulfilling event. it looks great now, and i can stop worrying about them tripping over junk and killing themselves, when they have to do laundry.
8. conor and i purchased a 230gb external hard drive for my computer! we are going to fill its belly up with music for our ipods. it will take us about a month to rip all the cd's he owns, given our current rate of ~7 cd's a day. very very exciting!
9. did i tell you my brother is engaged!?
10. i now own my very first cashmere sweater.
11. aaron neville has been put back on the shelf for yet another year...

you should burn the aaron neville cd.
1. I love my gameboy advance, too
2. Some of us had to ring in the new year at work
3. My b-day is in 6 months... so I'm still 29 for a very long time!!!
oh good, every girl needs a cashmere sweater - way more than a bijillion gigabite whatever. Oh yeah, and my birthday is on November 17th.
