Here are all the pics from the second half of December 2007 (almost 2 years from the time I'm writing this! Eeep!) that didn't make it into their own entry!
Saturday, December 15th

On Saturday night I took the subway out to Park Slope to attend Frank and Liz's annual holiday party! Here's Seth and Frank tearing it up in the living room. tags:seth miller

Liz's friend crazy Jen was there again! I only get to see her once a year and it's always at Liz & Frank's Christmas party! tags:crazy jen

Oh, did I mention she was ha-ha-hammered? Check out that yob! She looks like a pirate yelling for more mead! Hahaha. tags:crazy jen

I love this photo of Frank. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this cake was for Lydia's birthday. tags:frank

And here's my reaction to opening a card and finding a slip for a pre-ordered Amazon Kindle from Mer's parents. Holy moly, awesome gift! Thanks so much! tags:me

On Thursday morning I woke up feeling awful. tags:me

Yep, fever. tags:sick

Check out my homeless hair! I had a cold that somehow turned into bronchitis. I spent the next 4 days totally bedridden. tags:me

Monday, December 24th

Four days later, I finally was feeling well enough to get out of bed. Meredith and I were supposed to go out to New Jersey for Christmas Eve, but I was still feeling pretty awful so we decided to stay in NYC. tags:meredith

This is the hydrocodone cough syrup that my doctor prescribed to me for my terrible bronchial cough. Meredith also ended up getting sick and was having trouble sleeping, so she decided to take some of my medicine because she knew the codeine in it would knock her out. Except, instead of reading the label and taking the recommended one teaspoon dosage, she filled up a Nyquil dosage cup and took that!

Her overdose may also help explain why she rented Tequila Sunrise when she went to Blockbuster for movies. Hahah. tags:dvd

Tuesday, December 25th

Tuesday was PRESENT DAY (our atheists version of Christmas & Hanukkah) in our apartment. Meredith and I both pretty much buy what few things we want all the time. So Present Day is about fun little gifts you think the other person will love but might not have gotten on their own. Meredith went first and opened up some... tags:meredith

...creepy soap molds I found online! Now she can make rat soaps and brain soaps! tags:meredith

I went next and got... tags:me

...Mario Kart and... tags:me

Meredith's gift to me was... tags:me

...CatchPhrase! (Part of our constant attempts to find a new fun game to replace Cranium now that we're all pretty much burnt out on it). tags:me

And lastly, the big mystery box... tags:meredith

When my brother was in town, we went to the store and he bought it the day it came out! So it was something we knew we both wanted. Score! tags:meredith

After a couple hours of playing Rockband, we decided to continue to our refusal to acknowledge conventional adulthood by making giant blueberry pancakes for lunch. tags:breakfast

Friday, December 28th

Even a couple days later I was still recovering from my couch. Most of my days were spent in bed reading and intermittently getting awesomely high as fuck on prescription cough medicine! Woooooo! tags:book

When I was feeling well enough to be out of bed, I made sure to put in some quality time with the vermin. They're actually kind of cute, right? tags:cute
rats

Like it's pretty adorable how when you come over to the cage they all rush over and smash themselves against the bars so that they can say hi (ok, and for the off chance that you might be holding a delicious treat). tags:rats

CAN HAZ TREETZ? (Check out the one down at the bottom trying to get the treat-jump on everyone else by mashing her snout through the bars!) tags:cute

The only other thing of note that happened was Meredith and I took a cab back from somewhere and our cab driver's name was Diallo Amadou! (Any chance any Fulbe people read this? Is that a really common name or is this pretty rare?) tags:taxi
Saturday, December 29th

On Saturday, Meredith continued on her journey into CRAFTLAND! Back then she was doing a column for Pop Serious called She's Crafty and whenever I'd download the photos from my camera, there'd always be a bunch of pics of crafts on there.

She also started getting seriously busy with a Bedazzler. Bedazzled shoes AND socks. tags:bedazzled

Dedazzled Jeans. tags:bedazzled

Even some Bedazzled thongs! Sisqo approves! (In Meredith's defense, I think the Bedazzled panties were for the column as I never saw her wear them. Unless of course, she Bedazzled them to prance around in for someone other than me!) tags:bedazzled

Monday, December 31st

By the last day of December I was finally feeling better. Spent most of the day learning to play Rockband drums and getting ready for a chill NYE party at Siege and KT's tags:drums
