i do always have new year's eve plans every year like i always leave my apartment. but. before you recalibrate your internal conception of me. let me just say. the plans are to play board games with a middle-aged couple and their daughter. and sometimes we bake or sew. it's really fun and they feed me well and that's exactly what i'm looking for.

#this year they had TWO daughters AND a son-in-law AND two grandchildren AND a dog. and me <3 #it was hoppin #i will be kind of surprised if i don't contract a respiratory tract illness. fingers crossed but my hopes aren't high #the 2yo was really pleased to make my acquaintance and apparently i had a very calming effect on him. that's the vibe i am bringing #to your nye party: toddlers find me soothing #then after the kids went to bed i did a reading of the gift of the magi for two of the adults #and i discovered i don't think i had ever actually read that story before???? i'd just read a children's book retelling of it i think #which is insane because i consider that the quintessential story to which i compare all other stories #but now i have read it. and let me just say: i'm a fan #anyway invite me to your parties i will calm your toddlers and read you stories and make jokes and eat your cookies <3 #you are welcome <3 #my posts #they also have a really good view of downtown and this year there was a drone show in the square??? like instead of fireworks #but we were seeing it all from an angle so we had fun guessing what the images were supposed to be #my favorites: a guillotine! (it was an outline of our state with i think maybe a heart or rose where our city is)#and: a llama with wheels‚ like if you had a centaur but instead of man and horse it was llama and bicycle!! (it was just a bicycle)
