Sparkling Grapejuice

A totally fresh new year. Stayed up with my little sister while she played on her phone and I watched the Nanny. At the last minute Fran was making up with Mr.Shetfield when I remembered the ball was about to drop on channel 5. I flipped over and watched Dick Clark count down as well as he could after a stroke he had a few years ago. It just wouldn't be New Years without him though, and I hate watching Ryan Seacrest slowly take away his tv time each year.

Went to bed shortly after that and said Happy New Year to my sister and texted the greeting to a few of my friends. My mom went to bed early, my dad even earlier and I still wish I had just opened that bottle of wine for myself since they probably would not of noticed anyway. But I didn't really feel like drinking anyway. I had enough sparkling grapejuice to wake me up enough times in the middle of the night anyway.

I was delighted at 2:30 AM to wake up to my shepherd mix vomiting up carpet pieces onto the comforter. Joy. Picked that up and went back to bed without a warm blanket in a house without any heat. People who aren't dog people are probably grossed out by now, but I really don't mind. I'd rather pick that up than a kid's who ate too much candy or something. . .

It was worth getting up to fall asleep to a light thunderstorm though. Mixed blessings. 

My new year's wish ((not resolution)) is to get into vet school. I already failed to get into Mississippi Vet School. Which is not something I will elaborate on at this time. I only have one school left and I won't find out until February. Guess we will see. I hope I hope.
