Now Introducing the "Queen of Coolness" ...

A few entries ago, I gave an homage to one of my dearest and oldest friends, Heather, one of the coolest people I know. After months of reading my journal, she finally decided to do one of her own. She's been on for a couple of days and it just officially switched to her birthday not eight minutes ago.

So what better birthday present than to introduce her to the crowd. Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a warm welcome and a happy birthday greeting to bleuvalentines!!!

Christmas Parties...

Just got back from a Christmas party that my friends in the lab throw yearly. I'm feeling pretty special, because not everyone from the office I work in is invited, but I'm still pretty close to my old co-workers in the laboratory.

The food was great (I'm so stuffed) and after three beers and two shots of bourbon, I'm a little buzzing. It was good to see everyone, even some of the retired folks from the lab stopped by for a brew. Good time was had by all.

Now I need to sleep, my buzz is nice, but I'm pretty tuckered out.
