Jennifer Crusie's Blog: Argh Ink

Yay, it’s a new year. Because the old one sucked.

So what are my New Year’s Resolutions? I don’t do resolutions. The last thing I need is something else to feel guilty about. But I do have Plans. One of them is actually Krissie’s Plan. She e-mailed me on the 29th and said: read more >>

Thank you all for spending another year here at Argh. I have to admit, 2011 kind of sucked, but I am CONVINCED that there’s nothing but good times ahead in 2012. Hope you party hard tonight and get home safe because tomorrow is another year.

Happy New Year!

Man, I don’t know what rock hit me and buried me the last couple of months, but I could not get out from under it. And then Christmas was over and suddenly, I’m fine. No depression, no pain, no bitching aside from the short discussion I had with Mona after she barfed on the bed. I am dedicating myself to being cheerful and productive from now on, with brief recesses for snark when the occasion demands it. Okay, maybe not productive, but at least cheerful. read more >>

We just did Christmas here; tomorrow I go home to the family. For all that season is fraught with tension, it really is nice to take the time to sit down and reconnect with the people you inherited or chose to be family, even if you want to beat them like gongs by the time the day is done. For whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you’re all surrounded by love and laughter and dogs (personal preference). So glad you’re all here and part of the Argh family. Nothing but good times ahead.

In my continuing quest to make 2011 a year to forget, I have done something to my ankle and am now reclining with painkillers and Diet Coke. (I know, if I was classy, it’d be ecstasy and champagne, but at least its not meth and Mad Dog 20/20.) I was going to blog again, but really, you don’t want to read what I’d write in this state. Yes, I got X-rays. It’s not broken and it appears to be an aggravation of an old injury (really old, Mollie was three) so I just need ice, elevation, and uh, drugs.

I will be very happy when 2012 gets here. I’m quite sure I’ll have my act together by then. How about you?
