Goodbye 2007! Bring On The Shinier 2008!

I'm here! Honest! I haven't disappeared people.. but you know how it is with the holidays and getting home from the family's and getting back to a half a week of work where everything is chaotic and you can only wait for the long weekend of new year's eve, which is exactly how things have gone for me. So I do apologize for my tardiness in posting and having absolutely nothing to say. I'm working on a list and then I thought.. who wants another frickin list? Not you! No.. not for the end of year post! So.. bear with me..

I have been shopping the last few days having been given a little wad of cash for Christmas and have found some great little items just today out with Pixie. The idea was to thrift, but right away, out with her last minute and completely unshowered and bed-headed, I found a cute page boy type cap that I quickly threw on and couldn't part with. We then headed to a vintage store for something unexpected and she discovered a gorgeous long, brown faux fur coat that once on, I simply had to have. Not exactly a thrifty price, but it was still meant to be mine. We did end up at Goodwill where there was to be found a sexy backless halter that fit perfectly and a cute little nightie that is sexy and still innocent enough that I won't be completely porn star out in the desert. With a pair of fishnets, some frilly panties and boots, it will definitely fit right in.

I'm getting really excited about Burning Man eight months sooner than I need to because Boz is coming with me this year and we're planning on bringing an RV full of a few other friends who've committed to joining us. I have so much time to prepare this year and plan it a bit better than last time that every time I'm out, I default to wondering if something will work in the sun and sand of the playa rather than at work or out on the town.

I do plan on hitting a big new year's eve party as well.. but again, it's burner inspired. So even with thinking so far ahead, if it can work here where there are parties all year round, all the better. Grab a crinoline, throw on a tank, boots - high heeled or not.. whatever. It really is like Halloween more than one night a year and my inner attention whore gets to play a bit more often these days.

So really.. nothing terribly exciting to report to you all. Just reflecting on the last few days of the year and spending time with good friends who bring out the best in me. Even my heartbreak has faded and Boris and I have found a comfortable place with our friendship. We go back and forth with our physical attraction, but even if we give into temptation, there are no longer any other expectations than that we'll still remain close friends. Things like that have a way of working themselves out however they're supposed to and if he's not the right person, eventually the right one will come along. It feels good not to be so achy about the whole stupid thing tho and back to a stronger sense of self.

I wish all of you a safe and happy ringing in of the new year. May you get everything you wish for and more in 2008. Mucho love to all of you.. and also, thank you so much for reading. I never imagined having so many friends at a distance. Every one of you and your comments make writing mean so much more to me. So thank you for continuing on this random journey with me. See you all next year! Mwah!
