the old year has departed and with it parker.
parker survived the Great Rootbeer Incident of '02 and the Flood of '03.
but he could not survive the effects of a broken mother board.
so long parker, you have served me well (except for the burns you caused on my right thigh during those long nights of paper-writing).
the old year also took away my oven.
i spent the last few days of 2006 trying to bake pies and hearty meals in my toaster oven and not go crazy from lack of contact with the outside world (i dont think i was so successful)
hello new year.
the new year has brought me many things thus far.
on the first day of the new year i got into a fight at work - a food fight! so far no one has noticed the tomato stains on Wylie the Photocopier....
on the second day of the new year i had the first interrogation of 2007 regarding my marital status. "so JV, do you have a boyfriend yet?!?!?!" How can someone who spent new year's day sleeping, then working a nightshift, and the second of january sleeping and working a nightshift have found time to find a boyfriend?!?!?
on the tenth day of the new year a purolator man brought to me a new laptop! i was in the shower at the time, trying to wake myself up for a nightshift when he knocked on the door. My first encounter with Finn (my new 'puter) was in a hot pink towel. I think Finn wants to change his name to Pico but we're still in discussion over that one.
on the twelfth day of the new year the appliance man brought to me a new ignitor for my oven!
on the eleventh (yes i know i am not reciting the events chronologically) day of the new year my friend gave me a parting gift! Myself and the resident had been invited to the irish doctor's house for dinner with him and his wife as a farewell to the resident who left our small town today (i almost said for good but i am holding a pair of her skis for her - her car was too full - so she has to come back sometime). It seems my friend the resident thought that i would appreciate if she asked the doctor for a favour - to find me a HUSBAND. Him and his wife spent the evening making a list of potential suitors.

Hello Finn!
I think you should share the list of potential suitors with us. I'm pretty interested.
finn, meet henry!
henry is VERY pleased to meet your acquaintance.
dear alisma,
i could never betray JV like that.
however, if she ever has a meeting/dinner/date/coffee with one of these so-called potential suitors, i'm sure she will let you know.
for the record, the husband and wife team of irish doctors have so far independently rejected all persons on the potential suitors list.
Well, it sounds like they're taking good care of JV. Excellent.
i enjoyed this blog entry. it really had a bit of everything. what kind of computer is finn? macky-chan says hi.
