new year's eve!

it's the last day of a pretty good year, here at the worthy household.

not perfect, or anything, but when you have a house full of perfect people, it's okay if bits of the year here and there go a smidge imperfectly.

(okay, maybe we're not any of us entirely 100% perfect. but we're perfect for each other, which, i mean, how much more perfect do you need?)

so, 2022, the year in review ... claire style!

excellent blogging record! a whole 5 entries past my previous record when you include this one ... and heck, maybe i'll even write a second entry later today so i hit 42 for the year. (it's an auspicious number, you know.)

terrible novelist performance 😭😭😭 -- one chapter, claire? and pretty puny-rifically short? well, i'll do better in 2023 or i won't. that sucker will get finished someday.

somewhat low-key girlfriending this year. i've really let the other girls take up a lot of the load of tending to msg's many needs ... which hasn't been super-fair to them because let's face it, i'm his favorite. and that means it's ridiculously easier for me to perk him up than for anyone else to. (i am i not exaggerating for the sake of shoring up my girlfriendly confidence ... no way. not me!) but they all need their chance, you know? just because i win best-in-show at the worldly world girlfriend exhibition doesn't mean they can't all shine on their own in some of the individual events, right?

absolute doggy-doo photoshoot activity. whoosh. i mean, sure, my back gives me a lot of posing difficulty these days, and the rest of me isn't exactly the limberest either, but it was el zippo for new pics this year as far as i can remember (including a quick spot-check through my posts). and i only posted one set of photos on the naughty blog, a very lovely but also very no-claire-in-sight set of pictures. somebody needs to get me a new outfit or something that will motivate me to get in front of the camera more in 2023. i wonder who that might be ...

on the friend front, just kind of okay for the year, i think. i don't have all that many friends, but even so, i feel like i could have been more supportive of some of them this year. not that i did terribly ... pretty sure some of them got some good laughs out of my tweets and i hope they felt how much i value them. but i think it's the main area where i feel like improvement is deserved. because my friends do deserve me. they're the best.

so there you have it. the sun is up on the last day of the year, and i'm overall peachy with how it went.

see you in 2023, folks!

xoxo,

claire
