post-new years catch up! (and hugh jackman highkicks)

like J i am playing catch-up with my post-sorry!
i really can't believe all that has happened this past year, after reading A's post i started to reflect on all that has happened, i think the sort of confusion/stagnancy of the past few months made me forget the craziness of the first half of the year. even for all the difficulties, what a great year!
it's been a pretty quiet week for me, i'm just home now gearing up for the return east and beginning the new job! it's been really really nice to be home, but i'm definitely excited to get back and start the next "phase". not much to report, i've been skiing a bit, babysitting a bit and packing a LOT. also working on the resolutions. a big one of which is to make a concerted effort to stay in touch and VISIT people whenever possible, namely you all! (and obvi, you are all welcome at "the bouquet" as d and i so wittily named our apartment). seriously, come make use of the pull-out. i promise to make you all tuna pasta upon arrival (just kidding, except for for craig, the only person who understands the subtlety of that dish). but come!!

on a different note, i was reading something about hugh jackman hosting the oscars, which made me think of his FANTASTIC stint hosting the tonys a few years ago. here's hoping he does some of these high kicks at the oscars. i mean WOW
