Take it to the Limit
Hello! I think my holiday hangover has finally passed and I'm close to human again. There was a few days of doubt there; I was just an empty shell. Plus January 1st is one of those milestone days that makes you think "Damn, where the hell did that year go?" and I think wrapping my head around that led to some of the hangover symptoms. It also reminds me that the turn of the millenium is already 6 years ago and Normy and I's promise of the edited version of our Y2K road trip to Fla. is not quite done yet. It'll be ready for the 10 year anniversary, we promise! It's also a full 10 years now since Jimmy was cut for stitches by an errant champagne cork at the stroke of midnight...I wonder how often that happens? But I digress...It's an absolutely beautiful winter's day here in Freddy; the perfect kind of day to plop down watch some hockey and get back to work here. As does everyone, I have made some New Years resolutions. Some are serious and I don't want to break and some are less serious and I look forward to breaking. First and foremost, I think it is high time I got my degree so, to that end, I have started a night class at UNB. To make it easy I chose a subject that I know something about; the course is Sociology of Deviance. The prof is my old football coach, the Wiz. He told me that if I was late for class I would have to do down ups in front of the class but if he tries to make me I'll do midnight motions instead and dedicate them to his lovely wife. Hiyo!Which brings me to my next resolution which is the ever popular "Get in shape" promise. I'm starting right now...or shortly....or tomorrow. We'll see. I have also pledged to quit drinking until I go away to San Fran in mid-Feb. This pledge excludes wine and is only in effect within city limits hence I have road trips planned for all weekends but one at this point. That's not breaking, just bending...right?
Lastly, I have resolved to continue to add to this thing as much as possible. To help me with this I would ask that any of you (is there anybody?) reading this please stay on me and if I slack let me know. And feel free to ask me questions...for example:
What's the funniest thing Normy said this week?
"Jess, I've noticed that, while you are right-handed, you only express your musical enjoyement with your left hand.". HWAT!?

Want to know how easy it is to get hit with a wayward champagne cork?! Well a few years ago during a drunken NYE, I was anticipating the countdown with a chilled bottle of the baby pink bubbly and undid the wire topper that's likely designed to prevent a premature explosion...well with all the dancing and jumping around that I was doing, it obviously caused too much bubblage and the cork exploded under my chin...I immediately stopped dancing, looked around at the other shocked partygoers who had also stopped dancing and assessed the potential injury (no cuts or abrasions). I think the booze had numbed any pain I could have possibly felt. Once I realized I was ok, I continued to dance and drink whatever bubbly hadn't spilled all over the poor host's floor. Good times, good times!
