And a wonderful 2011 to all HHWers, everywhere!

Sorry for all the things I've missed over the last days. I'm on vacation and finally relaxed after my guest left. Totally zoned out and did nothing. And I do mean nothing.

I understand. I've been on vacation all week. I'm just going to hate going back to work on Monday.

Guest?

Did some thinking about 2011. And it's cold turkey about some habits that need to be broken. Coffee, gone. Spending money, leave me alone. Wasting time, poof. But mostly, trying to do it all, can't be done. $:-\$

I just ran seven variations of the new book title past Muse Margaret. At first, she liked the very first one I'd come up with many months ago - I liked it, too. But as we went through each and she told me why she wasn't responding to them, we came to one where she'd misunderstood the final word - she thought I'd said "masters" - when I told her what it really was then that became her favorite - for her, it sounded evocative and mysterious, whereas the other title was very on the nose in terms of its location. So, we're going with that, holding the other one in reserve just in case I have a preference when I actually do my field trip part two on Sunday - the fun part is if we go with the one she now likes, it was a real place, whereas the other title's name is made up.

I'm looking forward to work on Monday. I must say that after 20 years I still like it there. They might only tolerate me, but I still like it there.

Dear Danise, Happy Monday vibes for both of us.

Coffee gone = good.
Spending money = only buy what you want and need and that will make you happy.
Wasting time = poof for sure.
Can't be done = correct if you think that way. Incorrect if you open your mind - you'd be surprised at just how you can do it all if you've put your mind to it. Can't is a word that should pretty much be banished from vocabularies.

Thanks for the continued vibes of support for my family, y'all!

I did some research on the magic mouse to see why it's doing it. There is a maneuver you do with two fingers swiping it that takes you back to the previous page you were on. And that's what's happening here occasionally, only I'm not using two fingers and I'm not swiping. I'm putting my hand on the mouse and it's deciding that my hand is two fingers and swiping. Damn them, damn them all to hell.

I really admire people like bk, who just keep diving into new adventures on a non stop basis. Where does he find the energy, both physical and mental. I'd get dizzy.

Danise · « **Reply #252 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:08:44 PM »

I'm trying to keep my eyes open but I'm starting to get really tired. Thank goodness we only have a little over an hour to go.

I do my thinking about the past year and the year ahead at eleven-thirty. And my bottle of champagne is chilling and will be ready for me to pop the cork and have my one sip.

bk · « **Reply #254 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:09:31 PM »

I'm getting my second wind. My first wind was kaput.

And the partay has begun and I'm happy to be here amongst the likes of our dear readers.

bk · « **Reply #256 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:10:23 PM »

Our first celebration is in an hour, but the big ball drop is in four hours.

bk · « **Reply #257 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:13:29 PM »

Ten people at the partay - pretty good. And five GUESTS.

Get me off this damn page.

We've been to see TRUE GRIT, which we all liked very much. On the way home we stopped at Dragon Express and picked up lots of Chinese food and now we have lots of leftovers in the fridge. I have made a scrambled egg casserole for tomorrow's breakfast and taken a coffee cake out of the freezer.

Did you see the photo on the previous page?

bk · « **Reply #264 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:15:21 PM »

I had my sandwich and fries, and then some coconut M&Ms. That may be it for the evening. Or not. Although I shan't be going out.

bk · « **Reply #265 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:15:44 PM »

Yes I saw the photograph and me want some NOW. I can't eat the photograph.

Laura · « **Reply #266 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:16:37 PM »

It got quite a reaction. Everyone was very curious.

bk · « **Reply #267 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:16:37 PM »

What music shall I listen to next?

bk · « **Reply #268 on:** December 31, 2010, 08:18:45 PM »

Make that eleven dear readers.
