In 2006, the American Dialect Society voted "plutoed" as the word of the year. According to the society, to pluto is to demote or devalue someone or something, as happened to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet.
I realize it's been way too long since I last posted anything. I haven't been up to anything exciting. Next week I have to go back to school...which I'm not excited about, but it IS my last semester. I had a wonderful Christmas. John and I went to my parents' house for Chritmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning breakfast. I went to Grandma's for Christmas day lunch. Then I went to John's mom's house with him for Christmas dinner. It was a busy couple of days! After Christmas, John started his hunt for a house. My friend Cassie is a real estate agent, so we went tromping around town the day after Christmas looking at condos. He found one that he liked and actually made an offer on it yesterday. I think it's exciting. He's mildy terrified. For New Years Eve, some people that John works with got a suite at the Westmark Hotel downtown and we all went over there, played Wii Fit, ate, and laughed in the New Year. I made it to about 12:15am and then had to call it a night. Apparently I'm not the party animal I used to be.
The last week or so has been frigid (-20 as a low temp and if we're lucky, 0 for a high). So I've been hiding inside trying to stay warm and hoping that my car starts. The forecast says it's going to warm up by Friday...I'll believe that when I see/feel it!
