If what you do on New Year's Eve, etc. really determines what your coming year is going to be like, then 2005 for me should be full of clean clothes and lots of yarn projects. I suppose it could be much, much worse. =) I wasn't in the best of moods last night, but I've decided that I'm going to do my damndest to start 2005 off in the right frame of mind. To that end, I've decided to dress up today in my ankle-length velvet skirt, a red velvet top, and stripey socks. Not ideal for cleaning in, but if need be I'll change. The sun is out and it's disturbingly warm (I went out barefoot to get the newspaper and was totally comfortable), so all this combined makes it easier to be in a decent mood.

C. had apparently not known of the traditional ham and black eyed peas dinner for New Year's Day, so I'm going to introduce him to it today. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a ham small enough for two people, one of whom doesn't even like ham all that much? I may try to whip up a version of Hoppin' John with what I have in the kitchen, but odds are good that I'll just make the peas as a side dish instead. (Psst, [livejournal.com profile] anotheranon, look what I found: http://southernfood.about.com/ . Yay!)

2004 was okay, mostly, I suppose. Except Q4, which completely and utterly sucked ass, and I'm glad to see it gone. Too much death, too little joy all around it seemed. Good riddance. The rest of the year had some high points, some low points, and I think on the whole the first nine months pretty much were a wash. This isn't a bad thing, since it means at least that they weren't terrible.

I don't make resolutions, since I never keep them for more than a week anyway so it's kinda pointless wasting time with them in the first place and making myself feel like a loser when I fail at all of them. Instead, I'll set myself some goals this year; if I don't reach them, I'll be okay with that so long as I've made at least a little bit of progress on them.

Eh, there's a lot more I want to do this year, but my wrist is saying that's enough typing for now. Time to go dig out dinner ingredients and get the kitchen ready for another cooking/baking frenzy. I promised C. more black cherry brownies, so I suppose I have to go eat the last one so I can use the pan again. ;) Happy New Year to all of you, and may 2005 bring you lots of happiness.
