Всё таки транслитом писать не так удобно. Но что делать если не даже атомшикам не понятен мои English.

Встреча Нового Года прошла без приключении. Все было так тихо и спокоино, что где-то в 2:30 я просто заснула на кресле. Надо будет на следуюшии год придумать что-нибудь по веселеи.

Вот уходит Старый год....

is there such a thing as shoeholic? i've realized today that i'm addicted to shoes. how else would one explain an ownership of 30 pairs of just black shoes (not to mention other colors)? is there a cure for this illness? anything will be cheaper than supporting this obsession.

today found the best muffins in new york. who knew they'd be at pret. just wish they had some kind of bake sale like au bon pon, so that i could also have one for an afternoon snack. may be i should stop by after work and see if they still have any?

I'm on page 4!!! I remember how not too long ago I was trying to get to page 3.

Office is completely empty today and I'm bored out of my mind. Should I play Tetris or Jeopardy? Or find a new obsession? Any suggestions?

in four days that i had off last week, i managed to finish a really boring british book, practice my driving skills by shopping all over Brooklyn, sleep a lot, watch lots of tv, cook dinner and shop some more in NJ. where did the four days go?

Hate Microsoft with a passion (I'm sure most of the people out there share this sentiment). My computer at home died again this weekend. It never completely dies. It gives hope for an hour or so and then dies, just as you're already in the middle of something (like eBay or ordering from Victoria's Secret). I think it's cursed or something.

It's actually pretty warm and sunny outside. So much for a white Christmas.
The bigger problem is deciding what to do today. Be productive or procrastinate as usual?

for the lack of anything to write, decided to change the colors. now trying to figure out if i like the change. was getting a bit sickof the lavender though.

it's nice not to work. i miss waking up at 1pm on a wednesday. work is completely overrated.

we got invited to a last minute hanukkah party that's tonight. the invitation came two days ago. these are our very close friends that we have both know for many years. all of a sudden my DH (darling husband) decides that he doesn't feel like going because there'll be a guy he doesn't like and the food will be kosher. to me saying to your friends "you serve sucky food i'm not going to visit you" is very rude and unacceptable. appearantly he doesn't feel the same way. for some reason i also feel responsible for his behavior. so aside from the fact that i don't want to go by myself as that entails an hour and a half ride on the subway, i also feel bad about him being such a jerk to our friends. would love to hear some advice or suggestions how to deal with this situation. do i keep insisting he comes until he gives in just so that i leave him alone? i've done it before but don't like to do it. however, at this point it seems to be the only solution to not going alone and not insulting our friends.

now that i think about it nothing really happened between thanksgiving and now. at least nothing memorable. is december really this boring and uneventful?

since my husband was working (this always happens at the most inconvinient moments for me), i decided to spend 3 days with my parents. aside from not having any responsibilities for a few days and doing some tax-free shopping, it wasn't such a good idea. everytime i spend more than 30 minutes with my parents i get very stressed out and we have a fight. mostly due to the fact that they refuse to acknowledge that i'm 26 and have a mind of my own. then i once again had to go to a birthday party all by myself (as usual), the food and music sucked, so i bailed early, if you can say that about 2am. the beginning of december was somewhat stressful in that we frantically realized that new year is less than a month away and we still don't have any plans. then one of husband's friends decided to through a party at his place. mostly because he and my husband didn't want to go to a party being held at this other place.

PS in case anyone is wondering what this "mysterious husband" is called, his name is quite predictable. having so much in common with Yulya how could i possibly marry someone with a different name.

i decided to make up for being gone by updating this so-called diary with everything that happened since my last entry.

ok, let's start with my birthday, which sucked big time. my husbands's grandmother decided to od on sleeping pills three days prior to the big day, which means she spent about 2 weeks in the hospital when nobody knew how the day would end. so basically i didn't have a birthday. oh, my husband did manage to get one of my friends to organize a surprise birthday party which was pretty poorly orchestrated. my food was way to spicy for me to enjoy and then we got stuck in traffic on the way home for almost 2 hours. two weeks later i bought myself a present, the price of which still bothers my husband tremendously. true we could have bought a new tv for the same $$$ but i don't think it would look as good on me as the diamond earrings i ended up getting. i felt that after such a butchered birthday, i deserve something just for me.

i guess in order to keep readers and have them coming back, i need to keep writing... how did i not think of it before? i guess i'll give it yet another try.

got into a discussion with my parents yesterday about having children. was trying to prove that at least half of people who have them in back in the "old country" do it because of social pressure and if it wasn't a thing to do, they would happily not have any. since there's more social pressure not to have children in the states and especially in new york, i don't see a point of rushing into anything. one of the women at work made a very good point. she said that people who choose not to have children put a lot of thought in to that decision where as people who have chilren often don't think about their decision at all. thus those of us who choose to opt out have more reasons and arguments than those on the other side of the issue. my mother's reason why i should have kids was "i want you to." if that's not a killer argument, i don't know what is.

i'd be interested to know what people on various sides of the ocean think about this issue. is it more of a personal choice or is it dictated by the society?

Yul'ka's talk about what to do with her life both on personal and professional levels have prompted me to have very similar thoughts. which in turn got me similarly depressed. because similarly i found that having an impressing diploma in two separate fields did not get me anywhere in terms of a profession or at least a satisfying job. so where at the age of 26 do i go now? get a third or fourth degree and hope to gain enlightnment in the process?

beginning to understand the french much better. don't remember last time had to deal with so many stupid tourists all at once. do these people not have streets, traffic lights, cars and stores in their cities/states/countries. why is it necessary to stand in the middle of the street and gawk at a gap display window?

welcome to the holiday season in ny, where the crowds, traffic and subway smells compete with each other on daily basis.

it seems that i update this thing on monthly basis. at about the same time every month i contemplate whether or not i should be telling complete strangers about my daily experiences. on the days i feel more bored and lonely, i choose to share. on the days when i have better things to do, i choose not to.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
