Happy New Year, Santiago and Asuncion!

Attempting to make a potato galette. Not entirely sure why.

@weskimcom - also awesome - eating nothing but leftover chinese all day…
my awesome new year’s eve - staying home to surf web, clean house, and tend to kid with massive cold. awesome! might even do some work!
Happy 2008, Santo Domingo, San Juan, La Paz, and Halifax. It’s goin’ down, North America!
NYE plan: Give kids long-overdue baths. Fold/do laundry. Possibly some emails/work. In bed by midnight. Well, it’s a plan, anyway.
I’m going to hop on the bandwagon and resolve to be more AWESOME in 2008…
@dkr - i’m not even at work - i’m just tossing jibes in during my floating holiday - which actually makes me even more pathetic…

@katidid yeah, tomorrow’s a work day. I’m using my floating holiday before it goes away.
Had a lengthy dream about trying to go back and finish college. Finally remembered i got my diploma 16 years ago. Enough already!
really hoping for a decent night’s sleep. go, children’s tylenol plus multi symptom cold (grape-flavored)!
back in gig harbor after zipping back up to seattle to enjoy a lovely dinner at lark with my lovely wife.
Oh, I see — the copy of Joel Osteen at my parents’ house was purchased for me. How…awkward.
Vote for most soul-deadeningly corporate food: Panera. Gosh, Gig Harbor is fun!
Does anybody else just want to smack Joel Osteen every time you see his mug on a book cover? (Of course, my parents have a copy.)
ugh - older son woke up in the middle of the night with an earache from his cold. so much for a restful night’s sleep…
No joke, kids really do repeatedly ask, “Are we there yet?”
@schlchtmyr - i LOVE XTC. and banana bread!
@dkr - and my email, and my phone number, and my…

Does anyone else find waiting more than a minute for registration confirmation emails *hopelessly intolerable?*

Mental note: don’t leave house without hat, scarf, and gloves tomorrow. Brrr!

back in the office. good thing i got so much rest over x-mas and that my back isn’t sore at all. oh, wait…
@weskimcom - Me at Hollywood video, unaware that MST3K is playing: “Man, that’s some rude director’s commentary…”
First snow, then lattes, then take-out Indian and rental DVDs. X-mas miracles abound!
Neighborhood Tully’s open til 3! Merry xmas!

just prepped x-mas batch of waffle batter. hopefully, the dog won’t eat them all before jess gets a chance to try some like she did today.
Our whole family is riding the SLUT. Even the grandparents!
This morning’s waffles were a hit with everyone. Especially our dog who ate the last six off the counter.
made yeasted waffles from cooks illustrated holiday issue for breakfast (awesome). and now the sun’s out - quick, everyone, do something!
Verdict on trailer for SPEED RACER? Looks like the Wachowskis have successfully made SPY KIDS 4. (Sorry, Sara…)
Cooked dinner and dessert from scratch. Now there’s a mountain of dishes. This is why it doesn’t pay to cook.
The restaurant where we’re having brunch is playing oldies: Tainted Love and Radio Free Europe.

wondering how a friend’s date is going, but will refrain from asking. whoops - i think i just did…
i finished first in the live game on facebook scramble (aka boggle). i’ll sleep well tonight! (man, that’s sad…)
Back from a trip to the park with the kids and dog. Before, I was tired. Now I’m tired and muddy.
Getting some work done. Luckily, that just means a trip to the tmobile store.
