This is The Year That Will Be

[lagilman]

Last night was, as expected, much fun. Lots of people-watching, free decent drinks, many interesting and entertaining places to wander without having to go outside, and I was hit on by presentable boys a decade younger than I am [but did not, as invited, do tequila shots with them.]. Played for a while at the blackjack table and then decided it was time to stop playing for real money as I'd started drinking [serious gambling and booze do not mix for the meerkat]. Ended the year -- literally, as it was just before the countdown started -- by hitting a royal flush on the video poker machine with 5 coins in, and so ended my gambling for 2007 on a pleasant note.

Came in around 2:30. Collapsed. Was woken up at 4 by a feline (guess who!) telling me I hadn't left food in his dish. Put food in dish. Went back to sleep. Woken up again by both cats demanding More Food! Scowl at them because I just put food down, damn it. Realized it's almost 8. Got up and fed them. Crawled back into bed and read more of the book-o-the-moment (The Subtle Knife, finally!). Got up again around 10, made the traditional New Year's Day cafe au lait breakfast/dessert, and did the also-traditional New Year's Day tarot readings for myself and 0eris0 who stayed over last night. Contemplated going out for brunch. Listened to the wind and rain outside, decided to stay in, instead. There is a huge potato baking, I have made jalepeno sour cream topping to go with it, and the plan right now is to read some more over a carblicious lunch, while the felines sleep and chaos, for the moment, is held at bay by sheer contented bliss.

Later, I think, I may do some writing. The itch is on me once again.

I hope you are all feeling as snug and contented and mellow as I am right now...

And once again, the hive mind at work and I'm a'skeered.

I did a Celtic Cross. Verra interesting set of cards.

Sounds like an awesome NYE/NYD to me. :) Glad to hear it.

Why yes, happy and mellow here. And a lovely New Years Day and year to you.

Mine was interesting for not being very interesting. While my reading last January was filled with Major Arcana and significant Notes, this year's reading was more along the lines of "all right, get along with you, why are you asking silly questions?"

(I do a full 14 card spread that covers the entire year-to-come.)

Yeah, I wanted to do something Different this year. It was certainly that. And OMG the people-watching was... astonishing.
