Pour the champagne and raise your glasses...



...for this is my first full year at Joeuser. Yes, I started my blog a year ago, at approximately the same time that I am writing this one, and I'm happy to report that this is my 242nd article.

And for the first time, I think I've managed to get a working link to a picture of me and my girl. I feel kinda odd about posting my picture; I've been meaning to do it for some time, but have never gotten around to it. I remember seeing my first pictures of Dharma, Ted, Trin, Macky, Mj, Muggs, Danny and Shades and being surprised to see the actual descriptions of people I had only imagined before. Curiously, everytime a person posts their own picture, it's not too far off from what I imagined. The photo was taken at my girl's Christmas/solstice pageant. So tell me; Am I close to your mental image or not even?

It is December the 24th, and I'm still not done my Christmas shopping. I've been out once this morning already, but I still have some more stuff to get. My work check that was deposited this morning is already half gone... But, my brother, and his girlfriend are coming into town this evening. It will be a nice evening, as Kole and I are hitting some friends' drop-in parties before coming back to my parents' home tonight. We'll sing some songs with only the tree lights lit, and catch up with each other. My birth mother arrives tomorrow which is a whole other article... I mean to be only positive and a ray of light this afternoon.

Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy to everyone. I'm off to hit the malls, one last time.
Wishing you all the best!

Hmm the photo thing doesn't seem to be working. If you like I can put it up on Photobucket for you.

I'm so photo-incompetent. Send me your email address to stopsonadime@yahoo.com and I'll send you the picture to post. Thanks so much!

Yahoo!  I finally get to see Nic!!!!!

You're one good lookin' chicky...and Kole looks just like you! 

Did you get your hair cut, or is that an old picture...?  I really like that cut, btw.  I'm trying to grow mine out, or else I'd take that to the salon with me and ask them for the same thing...(sorry if you find that creepy, it's not meant to be)

Merr Christmas, Nic!  Give that little chicky a hug and kiss from me, will ya?

Thanks, Dharma! It's a new photo, a new cut, and my first thought wasn't 'that's creepy', but 'go on and do it, it's fun!' Thanks, greywar! Now I can really start posting photos... once I learn how to resize them! FC, totally, Muggaz! Actually, if my father, who took the photo, had of taken it face on, instead of from the chair right beside me, you all would have had a chance to see both my neice (who's standing up on her chair beside me) and my twin sister, who's queen of the spectacles. Now she's got some rocking ones.

sorry, I took it off, because that picture was freaking me out because it was just so BIG. I'll repost, once I've figured out how to resize.

put it back up so i can download it from itself, and ill resize it for you if you want.  (if you have any type of software that enables you to work with images, you should be able to use that...check the manual or online help or lemme know what you got and ill tell ya where to look for the tools.
