Happy New Year!

I know. You'd think that if I was snowed in at home for several (more) days, I'd have found the time to make a blog entry at some point, but I guess you'd be wrong.

Not that I was all that screamingly busy, but I had plenty to keep myself amused. Watching it snow, getting caught up on my website work (I spent part of the holiday weekend fighting off some massive comment spam attacks), crocheting scarves for friends, watching DVDs, reading books, messing around with my Christmas presents, doing laundry, cleaning house, doing "year end" tidying in my room, etc. All of the usual weekend stuff, just twice as much of all of it.

And, joy of joys, as I cleaned and tidied and bustled around, I actually found the software for the wireless modem! While I didn't actually get around to reinstalling it, I have high hopes that I'll be able to get the internet access on the laptop up and running again soon. (Yeah, I know. Four days off and I didn't find 15 minutes to reinstall some software? The truth is, I was afraid I'd run into problems. I prefer a perfect, even if just potential, solution in my immediate future to a problem in my lap.)

(Today's Laziness Catalog entry #1 - The woman who got on the elevator on the second floor and rode it to the third floor. It's ELEVEN STEPS.)

No new snow photos. If you want to know what Denver looked like last Friday, take a look at the photos I posted from the last storm. It was all much the same.

At some point, I need to mention to Bernie that I'll need yet another half-day off one day very soon. I need to get the emissions test on my car and get my new stickers for my license plates. Thanks to our two huge, snowstorms, I'm now driving on expired plates. (I'd park the car and take public transportation until I get the problem fixed, but I can't get to the bus stop. There's still a two-foot bunker of piled snow and ice all along that street, covering the entire sidewalk. Starting tomorrow, though, I'm going to park at the park-and-ride and take the train the rest of the way in. No sense in tempting fate too far, right?) It's my own fault, as these things usually are. I've had the little reminder card for two months. I just never remembered to go by the emissions place on the weekend.

I'm not the world's biggest procrastinator, but I'm sure I’m in the Top 100.

Do you make New Year's resolutions? I used to make New Year's resolutions but I never kept them so finally one year I resolved to make no more resolutions and that one I kept.
