new year new post

i have been doing pretty much 

nothing

 since leaving the office

 last year

 i love saying that

 last year

 or 

my other favorite

 which was

 see you next year 

i did the beautification

 so necessary

 to keep up appearances

 i have eaten

 non stop 

really

 i have

 just last night 

i had almost an entire bag of oatmeal raisin cookies 

i tell myself

 its oatmeal 

how bad can it be

 it can be really bad

 or

 the lightly sea salted potato chips

 i think

 lightly

 is

 the word

 i lean on

 we had our annual new year's day breakfast

 toonman 

makes 

a huge pan of potatoes and onion

 another of scrambled eggs 

in the past 

we've washed it down

 with

 left over champagne 

not this year

 this year

 it was coffee

 and

 i am sorry my love

 but 

those eggs were just not dry enough for me

suffice it to say

 i had potatoes with onions with my coffee 

we took a very short walk new year's eve day 

i wanted to take the new camera out

although

 toonman's legs called a halt to the walk

 rather quickly 

i did get a few shots i liked 

we went

 to

 a late lunch early dinner 

with 

our 'son' and his girlfriend

 we watched a lot of movies 

i especially liked

 the hateful eight

 joy 

 the revenant

toonman said

 who doesn't like a good revenge story

but

 i think for the scenery alone

 the revenant 

is an awesome film

 the hateful eight

 is 

at its heart

 a comedy 

and

 joy

 is

 well

 david o. russell at work 

weaving fantasy with semi reality

now its sunday afternoon

its really cold out

tho

 not as cold 

as it will be 

over

 the next few days

that's okay

it is

winter

after all
