Happy New Year, dear reader. May 2003 be filled with love, parties, new friends, old friends, truth, luck and happy surprises. May the economy improve, unemployment rates drop, and may the world learn moderation in all things except love.

Recap of the last two weeks:
- started off the joyful season by throwing two parties in two nights. That was fun.
- saw The Two Towers four times.
- played lots of board games with friends.
- gained back three pounds.
- reduced the amount of my furniture not from Ikea down to one piece. That one piece is not feeling very safe right now.
- my toilet blocked. T became my hero by unblocking it.
- received sets of Martini glasses from two different people. Worked on the perfect Cosmopolitan recipe. Hiccup!

I feel very happy and relaxed, and ready to start the new year. At this point I wouldn’t even mind if they sent me back to Venezuela! (don’t worry, the Cosmopolitans are sure to wear off eventually)

Mwah! to all…
