2004

i remember when i was little and new years was so exciting... and yet, part of the excitement was thinking about how much more exciting new years eve would be once i was older and could really go out and celebrate. and yet, i'm 22 and all i wanted to do was sit around with my friends and play board games. which i did. go figure.

this year, though, i was less bummed with myself for just wanting to stay at home (oh, the internal struggles that go along with being laurel) since i had spent the day and night before relaxing and rejuvenating my body at a fancy shmancy spa in napa with susanne. i was wrapped in a chardonnay -rosehip mud, then given a deep tissue massage the next morning. pure heaven.

speaking of heaven, the cutest kitty in the whole wide world (stripers, of course) has now joined his wifey-poo (ashes) wherever it is that kitties go when they die. the poor guy just went downhill after ashes left... he died of a broken kitty heart. (well, that, and he WAS at least 15 years old) he and i talked on the phone a few days before he left (really - i had a long-distance kitty relationship for years, which is what naturally happens when your kitty moves to the opposite side of the country), and so he knows how much i love him. he was drinking water out of glasses rather than bowls until his dying day, and probably would have eaten some white chocolate covered oreos, had he had more than one tooth left. really, he was the best cat in the whole world, and it's sad that childhood pets can't just live forever (or at least until their people get old and die too). that's what i think about that, anyways.

but getting back to the point - that being that it's now suddenly 2004 - i'm starting off this year feeling quite unsettled. i have a feeling this year's gonna be a bumpy one...
