Happy New Year's Eve

Only 14 or so more hours, and 2005 will be history. Amen and good riddance. Henceforth 2005 shall be known as 2005 (ptooey!).

Let's round things up, shall we?

January: Massive rains caused my walls to buckle and pieces to crumble off, leaving ugly holes. Subluxed (i.e. dislocated) my fibular head, leading to a year of pain (and it's still ongoing). Lost a gig and a half of personal files when my brand new hard drive ate them all. Little Moo was born, and I gave up the scary life of dial-up in exchange for DSL. I worked my butt off for a really cool exhibition that turned out pretty well (Jacques-Louis David). Finished a sweater for a two year old (my first and so far only sweater) as a belated Xmas present.

I could tell y'all about how apparently I've been the biggest roadblock to my own recovery for months now, thanks to an unintended misunderstanding (I think my PT might've had an itty bitty stroke), but instead, I'll share some links:

Best Christmas lights display evah!

Second best Christmas lights display evah! (by the same family, but not as good IMHO)

The story of the family with the best Christmas lights displays evah

Christmas Carol and Song Quiz (I used to have a hard copy of this for company Christmas parties, but I'd long since lost it—yet another reason to *heart* Google.)

Child's Play—Buy a toy for a children's hospital for Christmas.
