You are indeed right! I stayed close to my apartment so I could go to lots of AA meetings during this drunken time. Even managed one on Christmas day - it was great and exactly what I needed. I’m super grateful.

After nearly a decade of NY solitude, usually spent with a pile of books and sparkling peach or pear juice (or both!) I am GOING OUT. I have made a hair appointment, a makeup appointment, bought a new dress and handbag. I’m going to a NYE party at a hotel with friends and I am very excited. My sobriety and nigh…

Ack! So many Swedes to choose from! It’s a smorgåardsbord!

::me too::

Oh, for sure. I quit drinking on January 2 this year, and I’ve found myself in uncomfortable and weird situations, especially on the holidays. I am getting better at extracting myself when I get too uncomfortable around drunk people.

My New Year’s Eve companions:

Smorgas all the way. Fight me in the comments.

Julia Roberts looks like a frog magiced into a human form, but like... was a really pretty frog? But kind of retained the big mouth.

Full disclosure: Nothing to do with her looks, but if we ever catch Sleeping With The Enemy playing on TV, I always stop it before the end so I can pretend julia roberts didn’t make it. Same thing with sandra bullock and Gravity. Drives my wife nuts.

Horomanski first thought her holiday decorations were responsible for all the extra zeroes. “We had put up Christmas lights and I wondered if we had put them up wrong,”

That’s such an unbelievably selfless and kind offer. It means a lot you would want to help a perfect stranger. I’m still trying to find more resources around here (I’m in the Midwest) to keep things going for a bit longer. I had some injuries during the last couple months and I don’t have the type of job with benefits…

I don’t know where you are, but I bet we could get some food to you. A lot of empathetic people from around the globe on here.

I’m late, so it’s likely this won’t be seen, but that video made me cry.

I loved seeing that family reunion ... It makes me long for a better relationship with my family.

I did some practice sugar cookies with a friend who wanted to bake cookies. I’m in love with the lights. I used sanding sugar to make them sparkly.

My cat tried to fight the tree on his first christmas. He didn’t win.

I’m 5'10" and rock a 20/22. I’ve always been pretty happy about that but I guess I’ll go back to my cave and think long and hard about what a failure I am. Ughhh

He had the rotten teeth and weird resource hoarding issues

I have the theory, based largely on my own experience, that much like eggs, we women are born with only so many fucks to give. Coincidentally, we run out of both fucks and eggs around the same time.
