welcome back to work, y’all. and holy crap.

I’m sorry, but is anyone else like WHOA WAS THAT THE HOLIDAYS I THINK I SNEEZED.

It just blitzed on by like a freight train and here I am at work and whew.

I have a new iPod. Christmas MUST have happened. Either that or I stole it, and if that’s the case, 2008 is just going to end up a complicated web of crime.

Which kind of sounds a little more razzamatazz (shut up, it’s a word) than my 2007.

So, to celebrate these “supposed” holidays, I’d like to give you a quick list, and a question…

THINGS I INTEND TO KEEP DOING IN 2008, I DON’T EVEN CARE

1. Drinking too much coffee.
2. Taking my laptop to bed (IT’S NOT LIKE IT’S ANNOYING ANYONE EXCEPT MR. PILLOW MY IMAGINARY BOYFRIEND I HUG WHO IS ACTUALLY JUST MY PILLOW BUT STOP JUDGING)
3. Not wearing correct footwear (nor corrective footwear, for that matter)
4. Playing the same songs over and over again on my iPod
5. Doing laundry almost every day
6. Continuing to smell like a cookie
7. Smiling without teeth until people force me to grin
8. Swearing at hockey games
9. Obsessing about produce
10. Perfecting the art of the momentary crush

So what aren’t YOU changing in 2008?

And why am I so shouty?

Ah well. On my sixth shot of espresso this am. Bliss.
