I love the week between Christmas and New Years. I don't do a whole lot, but in fact, I do accomplish a bunch of little things during this week every year.

I give the staff the week off, and have some nice alone time. I just like to organize my life a little bit during this week.

My room is as clean and organized as it's ever been. I donated a lot of old clothes that I don't wear anymore to Goodwill. The loft office is nice and organized, my fridge is practically empty after throwing away old stuff. I'll hit the grocery store on Friday to stock up for the new year.

I've been a tad under the weather this week. No big deal. I always seem to get a Christmas cold. I think it has something to do with finally allowing myself to relax, and then the germs take over. I am certain it's in my head.

I like to take time this week to make plans, lists, and set goals. Check back tomorrow for a list of what's on my mind for 2009.

As far as New Years Eve goes... I am not really a party guy. This is only the second year in the last 5 that I am not shooting a wedding. I was going to play in a poker tournament tonight, but I think I am just going to chill and watch a movie and/or TV. I'm sure I'll be in bed long before midnight.

Speaking of watching TV... I can't believe I never saw the show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". It is hilarious. I've already watched the first two seasons on iTunes this week and I am going to tackle seasons 3 and 4 over the next few days. Anyone else into this show? How come nobody told me about it?

Happy New Years everyone. Take a trip down memory lane with me as I recall a New Years Eve past:
