The Last Feast of 2004

December 31, 2004

Oh, and this Feast has a retrospective theme to it, too. Interesting!

Appetizer:
Using only 5 words, describe how 2004 went for you.

Mostly sunny; chance of rain.

Soup:
Name something you did in 2004 that you’ll probably never do again.

Stepped on the scale and became discouraged. I?ve done that for many years, but 2004 was the last year it?s going to happen.

Salad:
What did you learn about yourself in 2004?

• I have a lot more love inside of me than I ever realized, and it feels good to share it with others.
• I also seem to have more anger inside of me than I ever realized, and 99% of the time it is misdirected towards myself.
• I?m probably going to be in therapy for at least a few more years and it doesn?t bother me anymore.
• The majority of the time in the past when I was irritable, bitchy, lazy, restless, etc? I was actually exhausted from lack of sleep and oxygen and it was manifesting itself in those ways. Now I am more rested. The Queen Bitch attitude you have witnessed since late autumn is completely pure, heartfelt and genuine. Hee.
• Two words: The Vault.

  ?Nuff said.

Main Course:
What notable news event from 2004 will stand out most in your memory?

So much happened this year that it?s hard to choose just one event. Honestly, don?t you think this was an incredibly busy ?news? year? It was mind-boggling!

What stands out most in my memory, however, is the re-election of President Bush. I?ve never been so fucking relieved in my life. (Sorry to all of my Democrat friends, but I still feel that John Kerry and his liberal henchmen would have ruined this country.)

Dessert:
Name something you purchased in 2004 that you really, really like.

We bought a couple of recliners for the living room and they are definitely the most comfortable chairs we?ve ever owned. They are Atlas chairs made by La-Z-Boy ? especially designed for big and tall people. Not only are they roomy, but the foot rest extends a few extra inches so my legs aren?t hanging off the end, and the arms are higher than other recliners so I can actually feel supported while I am embroidering or working on my laptop computer.

The only problem is that the chairs themselves are much bigger and taller than usual, so the rest of the furniture is a little squished together in the room. Something?s got to go, but it sure won?t be one of these recliners!

I?m feeling a little better today. I can?t figure out what the heck this is. It?s like all of the symptoms came on like gangbusters, and then just lurked around like a thug in the shadows for a day or so. Now things seem to be improving. Maybe that was it!? Could I be so lucky? (If so, I?ll take the luck.)

Thanks to everyone for the nice Get Well wishes; you really are a bunch of sweeties.

What?s everyone doing for New Year?s Eve? We?re staying in, as usual, since we aren?t the public drunken revelry types. I think there?s a South Park marathon on too, so we?ll probably be watching that. We are the private juvenile snickering types.

But I?m going to begin a new tradition, as well. I?m going to make a painting or a collage on New Year?s Eve this year and every year to come. I?ve been wanting to start a ?made on the same date each year? series for a while now and this seems like a fun time to do it. I think I?ll even do something unusual to denote the works as a series. Like paint a tiny heart with a special shade of pink somewhere in each painting, exactly at the stroke of midnight!

That would be cool.

That way when the entire series is hanging in the Museum of Modern Art some day everyone will have fun trying to locate The Stroke-of- Midnight Pink Heart.

Hey, it could happen!

Have a fun and safe celebration tonight, my friends. I’ll write again soon. ~ ~ ~
