Happy New Year

If I go by Australia time then 2007 started at 7am. Which means the beginning of my 2007 has been shit. Now I usually have a hate for new years celebrations and all that but it's only ever been for the night itself. This morning started off bad. Em comes down to my bed just after 7am, her new thing, which didn't worry me because cuteness gets you away with a lot and Pat eventually came and got her. So I finally got back to sleep and I wake up to this god awful banging which I finally worked out to be a ball and it pissed me off, so I came upstairs and asked for it to stop. A friggin basketball may not sound loud on the level your bouncing it on but try going stairs one day when it's happening, sounds like a fucking elephant on the floor. So it all goes silent and I figure that they've gone out and the next thing I know the phone rang. Can I also add it wasn't even 10am on a Sunday morning?? Sunday's are sacred. Phone usage shouldn't occur until after 10am unless your arm's on fire or you're lying in the hospital. People shouldn't be dressed until at least after 11am, unless you're going to go to brunch or the beach or a market or something very relaxing. Yes, Sunday's are my favourite day. They're my exceedingly lazy day. So my sacred Sunday, the last Sunday I will ever get in 2006 according to USA Central Mean Time has had its morning ruined. If all this had occured after 10am I could forgive the basketball incident because 10am is a respectable Sunday time to rise and slowly begin your day.
I'm sure you're thinking I'm overreacting but I just think Sunday's should be respected.
So rollerblading was an interesting experience. Let's just say it's something I should work on if I want to regain any of the confidence I had with it when I was 10. It was fun though, I had a good time. And my body got an awesome workout. I am planning on going again!
Yesterday I worked and went out to dinner with Pat, Em and Alex. Matthew was at a friend's house playing. It was actually a really lovely night. The girls were so well behaved. I found my food a bit bland but it was filling.
So that's me for the moment. What am I actually doing tonight you ask?? Well all I want to do is be on the ferris wheel on Navy Pier at 11:30 so I can watch all of the fireworks, see the Chicago skyline and bring in 2007 in the air. That's it. Did I mention it's raining today???? Go figure! Just spoke to Sarah, could change plans to my on the 95th floor in the Signature Lounge of the John Hancock building. That sounds flash. And it's inside. Alright, am going to end this now so my bad mood can dissolve. Just breathe.
