the countdown
so as ugly as the last few months of 2003 was,
me and the bf had a little session over dinner on
new year's eve about some of the better times/highlights,
if you will of this past year:

1. celebrating our 11-year anniversary
2. the bf was able to arrange with his full-time job to work part-time
so that he could pursue work in a growing photography organization
3. we saw more concerts this year than any other:
(saw Avril in June, John Mayer in July, Duran Duran, Liz Phair and Seal in Sept, Maroon 5 in July and Sept)
4. chased down Roger & Andy Taylor's van and saw them up close AND saw Duran Duran in my favorite concert ever
5. held baby Giselle for the first time (our friends' little girl, born in May)
6. celebrated Max's, Donovan's and Tommy's 1st b-days
7. celebrated our 12th annual x-mas party - this time with TONs of porn DVD's as gifts for the White Elephant game
8. found out my cousin, Fatima, was having her first baby
9. saw my brother graduate from college (he worked his ass off for that degree)
10. got my second massage therapy gig at a new spa in the city
11. met 2 of the most down-to-earth, genuine people in my last 2, very corporate jobs (I'm lucky to be able to call them friends)
12. crashed anna's wedding with Cyn so we could see the girl get married
13. getting invited to Jason's wedding after being out of touch for ten years
14. getting all star-struck with the TJH crew over Len's big screen-directorial debut and watching the movie together
