Merry Merry Martini's and Manhattan's

Ok - so it is cold as ass here - I am still trying to ride a bike -- I know I am crazy - I will have to send you some pictures of me in my full bike gear - it got so cold the other day that my chain would not even move -- can you believe it??

So I had a kick ass party on Friday! I invited a few people from work, a few I have met in other locations and a couple I have known. It all accumulated in about 17 people gathered in my home for "Martini's and NYC Manahattan's". It was quite successful! I had a lovely time and my home looked quite lovely and ended pretty dirty. I realized I still have not shown you pictures of my place -- here ya go -- a little out of order but hey:














Lets see what else...I think I told you all about my promotion right? Well, I am now Education Manager - but I only got a little over half of what i asked for finacially - they pretty much have me by my balls with this financial market though. People are really being affected here that is for sure - friends are losing jobs all around me...it is a little scary...how are all of you and the people around you? I am starting to loose perspective -- the middle class in the midwest always seem to be affected first when it comes to finacial slumps -- and -- this one -- is not pretty. I just cross my fingers I don't loose my job -- it is already a bit freaky that my Dads building business had cut in half.

Let see maybe something a bit more cheery...my girlfriend Sarah just had her baby -- a boy! I haven't seen pictures yet but I can't wait. It is the end of an era - she was the only friend in my life who was childless -- now it is just me. I guess I am keeping the statistics even...but it still is a little weird. Now she will disappear like everyone else and there will be no one to talk to -- ok, now I am feeling sorry for myself -- sorry -- I will just have to either wait for all the babies to grow up...or have one of my own.

Ok - that was not a cheer up -- sorry...

I miss all of you -- where are you? What are your holidays amassing to? please send pictures soon -- oh yeah, and I have completely failed in the "skype talk planning" I promise I will be on it in the new year...2009...shit...where have the years gone. I will be 39 this year ...that is f$#%ing crazy!!

Cold as ass?

Yep - "cold as ass" is short for my Grandmothers favorite phrase..."colder then a well diggers ass" - let me tell you that is very, very, very cold.
