Snow view and stuff

[susandennis]

Here's my big snow picture of 2003! The X is on Amazon's HQ which is the highest hill I can see from my living room. Usually, they have snow and we have none. This time we got our own few flakes!

I've never made any New Year's resolutions. But I think I'm going to this year. I am tired of hearing myself whine and complain. (Yes, for those of you who are alert, I am now whining and complaining about my own whining and complaining... see the problem???) I'm not planning on turning into Pollyanna or a Stepford anything, but I am going to make a serious and concerted effort to bitch less.

I have a good job at least for now and if/when that ends, I'll find another. In the meantime I am not going to starve or have to sleep out in the cold. I live in a great city in a fabulous condo and have great cats and broadband access and a Treo600 and a Tivo. I am smart and sharp and can handle what comes my way. I have no reason to be cranky, crabby, whiney or bitchy. And I find all of those things annoying so I'm going to give my best shot to not being any of them. Or at least saving them for when I really really really need them.

If something isn't to my liking then I need to fix it or learn to live with it. I don't need to be giggly or giddy or laughing all day long. I do need to be calm and accepting. So that's going to be me for 2004.

Get used to it.

I love the term gobsmacked. I don't believe I've ever heard it spoken out loud - only read it. melodysk wants to trade use of it for fuckchop. drood owns fuckchop so I'm hoping he'll let me trade Melodysk for at least a short term use of gobsmacked.

I got the nicest note this morning from my brother about my resume. He liked it and was very specific about why. It made me feel good. My earth-mother, recycling, capitalist-hating sister and her like-minded husband are in Las Vegas for New Year. I do not know why but I think it's hilarious that they are. I'd say more but it's probably not a good sign if I break a New Year's resolution before I even finish the journal entry declaring it.

Time for lunch. My deli across the street has California rolls on Wednesdays and I'm going to treat myself.
