Happy 2007

I'd love if I were kind of Back now, but we'll see how it goes.

The past ... well, actually the past four months, when I look back, have been hectic and chaotic to an almost unbearable extent. It was high summer the last time I felt I had a fairly reasonable handle on daily life, which is a bit scary. That was when we started the garden project, which sort of morphed seamlessly into the house project, which ate the autumn and much of the pre-Christmas period.

The winter festivities were, as usual, busy and great fun, but I'm seriously partied out now, and would prefer, on the whole, if I could interact with people in groups of no more than about three or four for the foreseeable future. Highlights included our own party, which was quiet but very convivial; Christmas morning and the discovery that Santa Claus had left a TRIKE for the Oyster; a quick trip up to Belfast to see the northern rellies, where we stayed with Niall's uncle and the aunt who's a play therapist and had box after box of magnificent toys for Unny to play with; londonn7's wedding, which was a blast from start to finish; and New Year's Eve, which we divided between a dinner party with Niall's college friends and a party-party with my college friends. There was dancing. There was drinking (more at LN7's wedding than I've had on any occasion since I found out I was pregnant with Oisín ... good thing he was staying with my parents for the night). There were mountains of presents.

And now there is a shiny new year, and the steadfast hope that we will get the house into some reasonable shape before too long, and the prospect of a visit from cangetmad and the GNOME to relieve the doldrums of January.

Happy 2007, one and all!

2006, Year-End Meme

I like pisica's amalgam of year-end memes, with the irritating questions expunged. I've made some adjustments to her version and added numbers.
