• 12/31/13 Easy going New Year. My Dad's traditional Seafood Newburg Menorah Dinner. Ethan and I helped to make the Flaming Glurg. After words Ethan and I had a Star Trek marathon with the Babies. Could life get any better?...YUP, just got a call from Thomas.
• 1/1/13 I caved. I played a few games of RISK with Bre, Arri and Ethan. And surprisingly, all is well. I must say this shows quite a maturity increase on my part. There wasn't a fist fight, Ethan and I are still dating and no one through the board in frustration.
• 1/2/13 Getting Chris at "The Gateway to New England"..harhar...

• 1/9/13 Went bowling tonight with Bre and Inner Being. I bowled the worst game of my life EXCEPT on my very last tern, when you get three chances, on the first two chances I bowled a spare and on the last turn I did this silly dancing gig and got a STRIKE! I wasn't even TRYING! People in the other lanes were clapping! It was really fun. Then went back with Bre and had some delicious chocolate with Bob.
• 1/10/13 Neighborhood cat came for a visit. It curled up sleeping and ultra snuggled me wile I spent the evening reading and listening to music.
• 1/13/13 I spent the afternoon in the Wodsworth Antheneum Museum of Art in downtown Hartford. They dedicated a collection of works that best reflected an exserp of President Obama's speech after the Newtown Tragedy. One of the sculptures they picked was called "Sleeping Children" cared from white marble. It is two plumb, little boys peacefully sleeping cuddled together. It was so touching when paralleled with such horror. I was almost moved to tears. I still feel like I'm grieving for those children.

Then, I spent almost 2.5 hrs wandering through the exposition titled "Medieval to Monet". This exsposai offered a view of the historic changes in French culture between the 13th and 20th centuries. I love the French. Such great personality! Just so smooth! It's no wonder there is no word for "awkward" in French.

• 1/14/13 I got aer-thang did.
• 1/15/13 Went to see Les Miserables last night. The cinematography was wonderful. I really enjoyed the story and music. It had a redeeming theme: when you experiences love, you experience God.
• 1/16/13 IMAGINATION!! It all started when I pretended I was James Bond and my new watch was a spy gadget used only for top secret missions. Now I pretend all THE TIME and it's just as satisfying as when I was a little girl. Except I get distracted sooner with adult things now a days.
