I was really excited for New Year's Eve this year, you guys. I usually have 0 plans and end up sitting home alone doing...not much. I don't really mind, but usually I assume that all my friends are out at fabulous, sparkly parties and I feel about 100 types of lame.
But this year was going to be different! I had TWO parties to go to! They were low key affairs, but STILL!
And then tragedy struck: well, less "tragedy" and more "illness brought on by my dumb brother Dain who was staying at my house for Christmas and doesn't understand how germs work and infected EVERYTHING with his nastinesss".
I was SICK for NYE and couldn't go out. ARGH. Life is so unfair sometimes.
Still, my excellent friend Ellie went out with me on Friday the 4th to drink some bubbly and ring in the new year...a few days late.
I don't really do many New Years resolutions because I hate setting myself up for failure. So far the only things I really want to to do in 2013 are:
1. Re-read all 7 Harry Potter books. I read them all as they came out, but its been a few years and the details are fuzzy. I did a re-read of Lord of the Rings in 2012 and really really enjoyed it. Bring on the wizards!
2. Make bread. I will freely admit that I'm scared of yeast. Its weird! And alive! And according to every recipe ever, it is temperamental and might die on you. I am also afraid of kneading. This one I can't really explain.
I am pleased to say I am well on my way to having a successful 2013 since I started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone this weekend and also baked bread (recipe here). Watch out world! Here I come.
