Everyone went into the water and came back out with bloody shins. You'd slip and fall on the rocks, but you were instantly so cold and numb you didn't feel it. Crazy.
Yeah, Hogmanay kinda sucked as far as weather went--it was freezing and sleeting, but they had Victoria's Castle all lit up, and the music was good, and nobody minded the weather.

I don't know if they even let you pet them. For a pic, see my avatar. The calves are adorable.
There are some herds in the U.S.--but my heart's in the Highlands and the islands. Before I went to Scotland I never was particularly attracted to it, but now I'm in love. If the UK wasn't so finicky about who gets to move there, I'd be emigrating next week.
For me, I'd go to a beautiful beach and just relax and enjoy the sun.

Oh, and that $100 yoga mat I've been eyeing for a while now that *someone* didn't buy me at Christmas like I blatantly did more than hint about. I mean pulling up the website and saying "this is the one I want" wasn't enough.
Plastic surgery... meh, that's what my 401k is for. I'm a nurse. Nurses don't retire, they wor****il they die, right?
Since 2008 my team has raised over $42,000 to fight breast cancer.
I have a deep freezer and I've been putting change aside. In my neighborhood we have actual butchers (and even separate ones for beef and chicken) so I want to fill the freezer up. One less thing to worry about at Christmastime.
