to desire the replica

posted on: January 1st, 2010

Today is January 1st, 2010. The start of a new year, the start of a new decade. I have been off work since the 24th and will not return until Jan 4th. During this time I have played in the snow with the dogs, I have let thin slivers of after eight chocolates melt on my tongue and I have stayed in my pajamas until the next day. I have eaten turkey dinner, turkey sandwiches, and turkey soup. I convinced Steve that we should open all of our gifts on Christmas eve. Some days I drank coffee at midnight and other days, wine at 10 am and though I have no idea what it means, I’m pretty sure that I decked some halls. I painted Baby Gray the slightly creepy circus picture that you see above with the bounty of supplies that Steve-best boyfriend in the universe- gave me for Giftmas and we cooked such a huge feast of steak and lobster last night that even the ridiculously funny pairing of Kathy Gifford and Anderson Cooper couldn’t keep us awake passed 11:30. (Sorry Dick Clarke Ryan Seacrest)

I have counted my blessings and found them to be surprisingly vast. I’m not sure when or how I managed to accumulate so many karma points, but apparently, I have.

It seems that despite being myself, fortune has truly found me.

Considering how good I was not this year I did pretty well; lots of outdoor gear including some -100C boots and a cool CD set of all topo maps in the Yukon (as long as I have a computer with me…no excuse for being lost). The boy and I got the entire 3 season series of “Man vs. Wild” and without offending anyone I never would have thought a British guy could teach me anything about survival but that’s just being Irish I guess…anyone who eats raw goat testicles has my respect. His venture into the Yukon was interesting although I would suggest he stay the fuck out of the water in the fall. Also had an interesting call with a headless moose the other day…truly ghastly. Oh…and got the entire collection of the Ant and the Aardvark cartoons…where my daughter found that I don’t know but I have been walking around doing my John Byner voice all week saying “It takes 200,000 ants to make a decent sandwich…and I can’t even get one!”

Blessings to all you lunatics.

Kim Says:

hahahhhaha I love how you boys think you’ll one day need -100 boots.
Happy 2010 to you & your fam Brian

Brian Smart Says:

Same to you and your’s Kim. I forgot to mention my brother in law gave me Martha Wainrights last album; BMFA made me thing of you for some peculiar reason. If “Dear Asshole” ever becomes a TV show it should be your theme music.

This post makes me smile. Happy New Year!!!

Sounds pretty good to me. :)

TK Says:

Yay for you! Kim you deserve all wonderful things. Thank you for sharing your positive recognition with us.

Brian Smart Says:

Incidentally, nice knives. Did they come with a free shower curtain and a flashing sign that says “Welcome to Kim’s Motel”?

Reee Reee Reee Reee Reee Reee!

Shutup mother!

Kami Says:

Damn, I missed Kathy Gifford and Anderson Cooper? (We fell asleep at 11 anyway…) Happy New Year, friend. And the creepy circus picture is AWESOME.

Hannah Says:

Sounds like an awesome holiday!
Happy New Year!!:)

Way to go! This is a good post indeed. Happy New Year to you and may you be reminded of all your good fortune every day this year!
