So far.. So good.

I can't believe another year has come and gone... Does it officially qualify me as stodgy and old when I say that? Or do I have to start realizing my parents life advice was actually relevant before that happens? At any rate - it's 2005. One day down.. A bundle more to go.

Our new year was rung in in a suitably posh fashion. Mr. Almost Poshlust and I went to our local neighborhood restaurant (actually voted one of the years best new restaurants in Canada) Culina, where we had fantastic food and great company. We had our favorite, and actually our only, waitress there, Franc. We've never had anyone else, and I'm glad. I wish we could leave her million dollar tips, her service really is 1/2 the reason we go there. That.. and she's pretty. *chuckle* Mr. Almost Poshlust had a chocolate and blue cheese covered steak with dirty mashed potatoes, and I had scallops and cocoanut rice with sweet black bean sauce.Her and the staff bought us dessert, (warm chocolate fudge cake with cappuccino ice cream and sour cherry sauce.. ) and we left feeling happy and full. She left for Peru this morning at 6am.. so all the best to her!

We returned home at about 11:30 to watch home and garden television and doze in bed until 12, which we very nearly missed.. Had a couple of sips of champagne and promptly fell asleep. Mr. A.P. managed to get himself out of bed around 9, I on the otherhand dozed and dreamt until about noon, which was fabulous. We spent the rest of the day drinking champagne and eating chocolate and playing crib at the kitchen table, and watching the Godfather. I think an entirely posh and appropriate way to spend the first day of the year.

It really was an amazing year, and I do have Mr. A.P. to thank for it. I hope he realizes how much he means to me, and how lovely he's made my year. I'll be posting favorite music etc etc of 2004 soon, I just have to get it all in order!! *smile*

I hope everyone had a lovely New Years Eve, and I send a midnight kiss to all of you. Best of luck in 2005, will talk to you soon!
