call me cynical...

call me cynical but is New Year's Eve another commercial venture these days? Last night I was happy to go to bed before midnight safe in the knowledge that I had made another 74$ working at the Deli.
Mr Grump and I had a lovely dinner and dessert, re-adjusted the wishlist and to do list for 2007 (SCA schtuff not included as that is solely mine to do) and played Euchre and Rummy. Whilst at work strangely enough I was placed in the position of confidant to a girl that works there - all politics yet again which I try to avoid especially being the Newbie on the Block(tm). But, this is a scenario that pops up wherever I go - it must be the trust me look in my eyes..deceptive at the best of times..
To think that this time next week I will be in Sydney with Kol and Harald playing dress-ups and having wonderful food...I think its going to be a full-on weekend with not a lot of sleep to be had.
oh well.. Finished the blue florentine and now working on a caftan that I drafted the pattern for and everything...
Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR and I wish whoever and whatever a safe, non-secular, non-gender specific glorious successful ( in whatever fashion) 2007.
