Me, on the other hand, just keep right on going along. I don't make New Year's resolutions. I do my best NOT to second-guess the decisions I made during the year. Yes, you can learn from your mistakes. But, Virginia, you can't go home again. So there's no real benefit gained from constant reevaluation. I think it's too easy to get stuck in the past that way. If you're stuck in the past, you can't live in the present, and you miss quite a bit of life that way.
So, life. Live. Love. Learn. Liberty. Livery. Labia.......I think I'm dissembling.
So, anyway. I've had people 'complain' that I don't update my blog "ever". Okay, so it's been almost 2 months. I've been a tad bit busy.

Went to a professional conference in San Diego for a week. Stayed in a decent enough hotel room. I had a GREAT view of the water. Also had a great view of North Island and the Coronado bridge. Fog was interesting the last 2 mornings. Sucks waking up to a foghorn, though. I was bored out of my skull during some of the meetings. I also had a fun time here and there and had some nice seafood dinners. Lobster tortellini. Yum. I also was standing in line at a nearby lunch counter, with a badge stating where I worked. This guy standing next to me strikes up a conversation. He asks me if I know Inigo Montoya (not his real name). I said, "Yes, he's my husband." Turns out, I have had dinner with this guy before. He had been in town on business and was a beta-tester for some software that my husband wrote. So I ended up sitting with him at lunch, having a conversation about my spouse and work. My coworkers sat at a nearby table. They were giving me a hard time later on about my "lunch date". Apparently, I'm picking up strange men at conferences.
I did get a cool t-shirt out of the deal, though. Everyone who goes to these conferences gets a t-shirt. On the back it says, "Yes, as a matter of fact I AM a rocket scientist!" So, those of you who know which t-shirts I'm talking about now have a good idea of what conference I was attending.

On to the more mundane things in my life (and part of why I haven't updated here much). I hate Christmas shopping. I have to purchase for 21 people. My nieces and nephews on my side, my nices on my spouse's side, parents, siblings, spouses, grandparent, and great-uncle (very close), and my spouse and child. Ugh. Invariably, I forget to buy for someone. I think I'll get to it the next day and forget that I haven't purchased, or leave someone off of the list that I've made. It's easy to happen when you're purchasing for 21 people.
I may make the hubby buy gifts next year.

I hate dry, winter months. This year, I seem to be having problems with my heels cracking. They're quite rough and want to peel. I'm trying to stop myself from doing that, as they'll bleed and won't heal. I used to peel the skin as a teenager, and I'm trying to keep from damaging them now, since I know how long they took to heal back then. I spend a lot of time on my feet at work, in terrible shoes (but required by the job, for safety reasons). So, I pulled out the pumice stone/sander thing, and rubbed away as much of it as I could, then slathered my heels with Bag Balm. Ugh. That is some of the greasiest, nastiest stuff. It smells bad. However, I'm really hoping it helps my heels. I've also got some cracked skin lotion from Dr Scholl's that I've used on my elbows that worked wonders, so if the Bag Balm doesn't work, I'm going for the Dr Scholl's.
Because, you know, there's nothing sexier than cracked heels. Especially when they're rubbing on the backs of a new lover's legs.
(And if you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm talking.)

Oh, and in the interests of updating you all on my love life....the coworker who was hitting on me beginning back in August? He got a blowjob from me on Tuesday in the office. I think I made him happy.

So, other than that, aside from the recurring bout of heartburn that I've been having on an almost daily basis, nothing else is really happening in my life.
Maybe I'll take stock, reevaluate my life this past year, and decide where I want to go in the New Year.
Nah.
