New Year's Eve 2012

Whew! What a day.

We were up until 3am or so last night singing show tunes in bed. Were we drunk? No. We just really love musicals, apparently. After going through stuff in Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Moulin Rouge, we finished up by singing the entirety of the Buffy musical. YEP. THAT AWESOME.

Anyway, we got up about 11:30, went to get some coffee, and then the positive frenzy of cleaning began! We swept, vacuumed, mopped, scrubbed, dusted, and so forth. I dragged a bunch of stuff off the top of the cabinets and hauled it all up the ladder to the loft in a plastic tub. Then we went out and dug this weedy thing out of the yard, threw it in the bin, and dug another hole for the baby blue spruce we got a while ago. We dragged that chunk of grassy stuff over to the place where the weed had been and crammed it in there, then planted the tree in the second hole and called it good! That stuff was HEAVY. Good lord. It was all we could do to heave the weed thing into the bin, even doing it together. We found some of those free coffee grounds in a bag when we were out getting coffee, so I grabbed those. They're actually really good for your garden, so we made sure to put a bunch of that around the newly planted tree and the maple tree we liberated from a ditch some months back. I am one tired (but happy) girl!

Oh, and I had the best dream ever last night after swimming. There was some initial bullshit, but the good part was at the end: I was a pirate on a ship and we got to this weird window in a rock wall that you could walk through. Inside was a world entirely composed of water that you could breathe just fine in, and I took off swimming. I then turned into some sort of manatee-sea lion thingy and I could just zoom through the water! Absolutely awesome. I turned somersaults and dove, racing around in the water. Needless to say, I decided to get my fins out for next time at the gym. ;)

We're about to head out and grab some sushi, mostly because after all that we are incredibly tired and the idea of someone feeding us is way appealing.

Happy New Year's! Kiss someone you love! <3 See y'all next year!
