Another year, another birthday

[bop_radar]

Thank you for the virtual gifties, little internet fairies!!

I had a quiet but enjoyable day with some good food, shopping and sunshine. The seasonal obligations are almost over and then I can completely relax. I've been working hard formulating many resolutions for 2009--I'm determined that it will be year of improvements.

The new year will also be marked by a new pair of glasses, my first in ten years (because i'm lazy). I am quite excited about them! I might actually wear them this time. :)

Does anyone else feel like they're holding their breath for the new year? I don't really want it to start, because then I'll have to actually do all the things on my 'to do' list, but on the other hand I feel like I'm in a vacuum until it does. Hmm. /monday night existential crisis

Happy, happy birthday Boppy *hugs*. So glad to hear that you had a lovely day.

I know what you mean about holding your breath for 2009. scary isn't it?

Bonne fête, ma chère! *cheers*

I do feel like I'm holding my breath! 2008 was... transitional, shall we say? LOL. I'm ridiculously optimistic about 2009, though. My list of resolutions is coming along too. :)

May your glasses be rose-coloured in 2009. Hee!

I missed it, but Happy Birthday, belatedly:D

Happy belated Birthday, Bop!! I wish you to have a wonderful year ('cos this is the beginning of your personal New Year) with plenty of pleasant surprises! :) *hugs*

Happy Belated Birthday! I'm so sorry I missed it. For some reason, I didn't get any alert on LJ about it.
I hope 2009 will be as good as you want it to be.

Happy belated Birthday! :)

Happy belated birthday!

I feel similarly regarding new year resolutions. I'm good at making (mental) lists of plans (everything always looks so doable in my head), but it inevitably ends in a disappointment when it comes to actually sticking by those resolutions.

Hey Happy Birthday bop! (No LJ alert? Bad LJ! Bad!)
Glad to hear you had a lovely day and hopefully, good holidays as well!

Happy birthday Bop! I hope it's a year of good health and happiness for you.

I never make New Years resolutions because I always end up setting myself up to fail. But I *do* have an inexplicable discomfort with the first few days of the new year - it's kinda that weird feeling you get when your out and you can't remember if you turned the stove off or not...

What kind of glasses did you get? Something subtle or more big-frame trendy? I just bought my first new pair in 17 years from this collection (http://oxydo.net/home.jsf?lng=en). Cost a fortune and I still can't decide if I really like them or not...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

Oh, Happy belated birthday!! (I have no idea it was your birthday! :-) ). Glad to hear that you had a good day! And I understand you perfectly about that "holding your breath" thing (2008 has been a sort of professional hiatus for me... but it's over! **I'm in a sort of existencial crisis at this point of my life :-) **).
Anyway, I hope 2009 will be great for you!

Happy belated birthday! (Yes, a dollar short...) It's nice to hear you had a nice day. (And new glasses? That is *victorious*)

but on the other hand I feel like I'm in a vacuum until it does

I'm very much in that vacuum. Part of me thinks I'm going to find my Kastle card (that lets me in my office building/floor) and go in over the holiday to do things I didn't do all, erm, year. But most of me just sits around reading/watching movies-tv/listening to audio books/playing games.

It's the holiday, right?

Oops, just read more carefully (and saw the other comments), Happy Belated birthday!

[netlynn.livejournal.com]

Happy belated Birthday!! I hope it was an awesome one.

Does anyone else feel like they're holding their breath for the new year?

Oooh! I do! I do! I am so ready for this sucktastic year to be over with I cannot stand it.

Happy belated birthday, dearie! (Did not see LJ-mail about it but will attempt to make note of it for next year (was it the 28th or today?).)

*gives you a Capricancorn hug*

Happy belated birthday!!!! Good to know that you had a fun time.

[carpenyx.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday! And Happy New Year, if a little early, :D

I'm glad you had a good day. And hurray for new glasses!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Your present just arrived! Thank you so much! The photos are lovely--I don't actually have any Smallville prints so it's lovely to remedy this (I have a few BSG ones). And I look forward very much to the vids! *hugs*

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Close enough! ;)

Thank you! :) I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
