And there was much rejoicing!

[wednes]

I had a party for New Year's Eve--just like always.
And just like always, I'm posting pics as proof that I have friends! ;-]

2010 Wall of Tidings. You'll notice that my stocking (below) has an asterisk. That's because my gift didn't fit in it. The gift was in the fridge, also with an asterisk.

Bre took this pic of me and H hugging.

Adam, my coworker doing that thing where he takes my picture taking a pic of him.

Me and Bre, looking cute as hell.

Bre, arriving.

Jeffery, my coworker, arriving. Also, Adam and Schwabby.

Katie and Kevin.

Jeff, Sarah (the freelance writer who did a swell interview with me for The Bohemian) and Kwame (cloaked in shadow)

Mark and Jay.

Susan and Adam

It was a delightful affair. There was a strawberry shortcake trifle that I forgot to get a picture of. I think Jay took one though, so I may be able to post it eventually. There is a lot left, but it's not really ready for its closeup anymore. There is also a fair amount of yummy salsa. I will probably turn that into chili after we go shopping.

We had a few first timers at the party, including some coworkers, local freelance writer sarah_michigan who arrived with her husband, and a guy named Doug who had the best laugh ever. Absolutely making my night, as the arrival of the_hula which was utterly delightful, as I had not seen her since my wedding. There were a few MadLibs, some Simpsons Scene it! and plenty of music, foodstuffs, and stimulating conversation. No fighting and nobody got sloppy drunk, so that was all good. I was hoping to introduce Sarah to some of my writer friends, but none of them actually showed up. Fie!

Okay, it's the new year. So it's totally time for me to get back to working on writer things. If you want to interview me, review my book, or book me for a reading or signing, now's your chance. Get in touch with me before my dance card is full. Okay, my dance card will probably not fill up, but you should still get in touch with me anyway! Feliz Ano Nuevo kids!

How is Kwame pronounced?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

KWAH- may

[darkeryet.livejournal.com]

I love it.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough, my friend has the same first name as a recent Detroit mayor who turned out to be the most crooked Detroit mayor in my lifetime--which is no small boast.

[darkeryet.livejournal.com]

Talk him into joining eljay, I want a (e-)friend who has that name too. ;p

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Unlikely, but he does have a Facebook!

[darkeryet.livejournal.com]

Gave his profile a stalk; the sell-out shoot's hilarious. Okay, I'll stop being creepy now. :-D

[wednes.livejournal.com]

He's a great guy and I'm confident that he'd be open to a new friend who is also a friend of mine. :-]

[darkeryet.livejournal.com]

I shall refrain from harassing him. It's a bit too strange for me to friend people based on love of a name and Facebook doesn't offer much opportunity for connecting over saner things. :-) Compliment him for me sometime though, if you remember.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Will do! :-]

[groovesinorbit]

Looks like an awesome get together. I love that pic of you and H.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

[crowjoy.livejournal.com]

[groovesinorbit]

LOL

You'll find this amusing, my supervisor at work was also having a party last night. One that would not include the kind of 420 debauchery that goes on at my place. Two guys above (Mark and Jay) came by my place before going there. They decided to plant one of those call-girl catalogs in his bathroom. Still waiting to see how that ended up. I signed the inside of one with a note apologizing for missing their party. LOL again.

[gifgal.livejournal.com]

hahaha thats so awesome! i knew it wouldnt be a bad thing to get you more than one of those mags :)

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Oh hell no. Every dude who comes over here wanted some.

[crowjoy.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a smashing way to start a new year! You and H (and you and Bre, hmmm what's the common denominator here) are gorgeous.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was a fine party, though I always wish I had a teleporter so more LJ friends could attend.

[sarahmichigan.livejournal.com]

I appreciated the hospitality. You really go out with the homemade food for your shindigs- everything I tried was wonderful!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was very pleased that you decided to attend. Your hubby appears to have great taste in music!

[thehula.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me crash on your couch! I had so much fun, I wish we'd had more time to hang out and talk and talk and talk (as we are want to do).

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I know, right? It's always awesome to see you but the visits always seem too short.

Maybe I'll come crash at yoru place sometime, pick up some college age boys and teach them how to imbibe intoxicants like grown-ups. LOL
