Because I'm insane and I like RL to come up and smack me a lot, I told the daughter she could invite her best friend over for New Year's Eve. We still have all of our furniture in half of our house, waiting for the floors to finish drying or whatever mysterious thing they have to do for several days. (And let's not go into the saga of the floors.) It should make for an interesting holiday.

But I hope everyone has an excellent end of 05 and an even better 06. I'm hoping for a productive yet restful, prosperous but calm new year. Because, you know, you can always dream.
