Jo - THANK YOU FOR SUCH EXCITEMENT. I kind of love you.

Abbie - I adore your play-by-play comments. Frozen peanut butter balls...chocolate fountain...whaaaaa!? JEALOUS.

JenK - fun in dysfunction...oh man...you have no idea...

Laurie - I did sit at home with Thai food. Also, the Dark Knight. AMAZING.

A) I can't believe you still have this blog

B) I feel the same way about 100% of what you just said. It's true...everyones having babies and getting married. I'm like oy, I'm glad I'm not old enough for that yet...but really I'm def. old enough.

C) WTF you wrote your own show? I wish I knew...my friend did the same thing at the Laurie Beechman Theater a few days after you.

I hope 2009 is an awesome year for you, keep on keeping on. Anyone with a uterus can be a mother or a wife...but the wacky, fun Auntie Mame's of this world are far more difficult to come by!

Happy New Year,
Allison-Rose DeTemple

p.s. I ate ham this year for this first time in like seven years. It was ok.

I identified with every single word of this post-- from awkward grandma relations to guilt over not noticing the absence of a passed relative to weird family bonding/grieving to "Are people our age really allowed to get married?" to reading excessive emails from you about soup.

The only part I didn't identify with is plans for tonight because GIRL YOU BETTER PARTYYYYYYYYY. Or you can sit at home and eat Thai food. That is also an acceptable answer.

That was a hillarious run-down of your Christmas. We lost Grandpa, too, and we are not grieving like a healthy family either! We put the fun in dysfunction! If you get married, your old man will probably put the kabosh on fun times with Tom, so put it off a little longer. My biological clock started going digital when I turned 28, then by 30 I was married with a new baby. The old man and I will be having Chinese, and bed by 9pm too. Cheers, Laura! Jenk

OK...

I hate those blow-up snowmen and santas. And especially the snow globe ones. Ugh.

Who eats ham? I eat ham. We raise pigs, make ham, and eat it. But usually on Easter, not Christmas.

Dishes... After I cooked an awesome meal for my fam on Christmas eve- I did dishes while my brothers rode their new snowmobile around my lawn, my husband, dad, mom and grandma watched them. I did dishes.

So I can't relate to the scariness of people getting married at 25. I was 23 after all... But wait 2 more years til you're 27 and all of your friends are having babies. Like, really? On purpose? Wow. I've been trying to avoid that for years now and you're like planning for it?

My husband's ideal New Year's is going to bed by 9. Yes he's a boring old man. But it sounds better and better each year. Tonight I'm walking over to my cousin's house in the snow for her party, where there will be a chocolate fountain! I'm making frozen peanutbutter balls to dip in the fountain. Heaven. I hope your New Years is happy!

PS- Can you tell it's like a blizzard out and I have nothing better to do than leave you a point by point comment?

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, I am so glad y...

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, I am so glad you are back! Unfortunately I have two little ones begging for my attention and I can't finish reading the post, but so far so funny, ham is for poor people? More later! YEAH!!!! Your back!!!
