Happy New Year

I've spent the whole day cleaning, shopping, and cooking. It's gonna be a sweet party! Well, it will probably be a tame party, but it should still be fun. I won't be drinking since I am still feeling sick and don't want to fuck around and feel even worse when I return to work for the month of hell on Tuesday. I'm a little better today, but the last couple days were pretty brutal.

I was working in Philadelphia on Friday. While waiting for my red-eye flight down there, I was sitting near a mother traveling with four children. At some point, the youngest boy sits next to me and starts coughing up a storm. He wasn't covering his mouth either. If I weren't already sick, I'd have been pretty pissed (or just moved to a new seat). I did find it funny that the mother kept kindly telling her son to cover his mouth when coughing. The boy said he would the next time he coughed, but he never did. I bet a couple people on the flight are sick today because of that child.

I learned yesterday that two of my friends from work got engaged (to each other) this past week. I'm guessing that story will be the buzz of the party tonight. Congrats to Nell and the PhillyPhanatic!

There is so much incest (actuaries dating other actuaries) at work. I already have two weddings I'm going to this summer where I work with both the bride and groom.
