4:29 p.m. the sun set just as the fat blue moon rose up out of the lake to shine upon the new year. this moment of goodbye and hello perfectly captured how i've felt all day.

I noticed we were all talking fast. and smiling from ear-to-ear.
there was a lot to share.
we were giddy to be together.

traditional cheese fondue by the fire. at 11:45 we bundled up and walked to the ridge to welcome in 2010 and to take a peek at the blue moon.

so sick. missed the party. at midnight. i looked over at my neighbor's well-lit party, pretended it was mine, and that i was dancing my way into a fabulous new year. that makes it true, right?
