Happy New Year, everyone! I know everyone is really glad to see the rear-end of 2009, but for me, it was a good year. New president (YAY!), new projects, new comic book, new job… Sure, there was a lot of world-wide suckage, not limited to the bizarre popularity (including here in my house) of Lady Gaga. John compared her to Madonna the other day, but I don’t think she has Madonna’s staying power. I suggested she’s more like Cindy Lauper– a few big hits, but she’ll be invisible in a year or so.
Anyway, I think Thanksgiving really should fall after New Years. I mean, this is the whole “time to reflect and move in new directions,” right? And, for me, it’s time to write thank you cards.
Which brings me to why I’m blogging today: I have now written thank you cards for the gifts I received from far-away loved ones this year. The task is done and complete, and they’ll be going out in today’s mail. Hooray! If you sent me a gift and you don’t get a thank you card, then you’ll know in a week or so (by the absence of a card in the mail) that I didn’t receive it. Except for Paul and Rachel– they already know I received the lovely flower, but I’m pretty sure their card will take more than a week to get from Las Vegas to Nottingham. I could be wrong, though.
Next step: making my New Years Resolutions!
