happy boxing day!

as much as i was ready for the holidays to be over, i'm still surprised at how fast it all went! i couldn't wait to see how my nephew would react to the gifts i got him 1. a tricked out tricycle that plays music, has a horn, blinkers that really light up, and 2. a thomas the train pop up tent! the thing is 5 feet tall! and i bought him a huge pack of 150 balls to fill it with! i don't know who had more fun, me and my brothers or the monchichi. luckily, the tent was also a cozy place to take a nap. as for the tricycle, his legs are just a smidge too short to reach the pedals (short legs run in the family), but i'm sure he'll be cruising along in no time!

and what did MH get me? a few "trinkets" from this fine sf institution and a trinket from the jewelry store. looks like i've been good.

the rest of my loot included cash, gift cards, and cashmere, so i'm pretty set!

in the days winding down to the end of the year, i'm getting myself organized. i reorgazined my closet: took an inventory of all the clothes i own, got rid of a large bag of stuff, and stowed the out of season stuff away neatly. i got rid of some furniture that wasn't at all useful and am now in the process of reorganizing my office. i have buttloads of papers to file, artwork to hang, and photos to organize. then i need to settle in and take stock of the past year and figure out what i want to make of the coming year. 2008 marks the big 3-0 for me, kids. the big 3-0.

Looks as if some of those "trinkets" from that specialized store could go quite a ways to helping you with your weight loss goal too. Merry merry!

I too turn 30 in 2008. I suspect it will rock.

Wow, you are really ending 2007 in an organized fashion. If only I could get myself to do the same! Hey- I DID update my blog though, so I have that going for me! LOL! Thanks for noticing too by the way!

Once you figure out what you want to make of 2008, make sure you post and tell the rest of us! I'm sure it will be a great year!
