NYEs past

Memories from childhood include sleeping over at my Grandmothers to and watching movies with my cousins.
Other memories from childhood include charades games with the neighbor families, where sometimes we postponed midnight because we were in the middle of the game. When you have two men in the room named Jay, it is easier to get Roget's Thesaurus.
Senior year of high school, got me grounded for a month, after getting so ill from Mr. Jack Daniels. (granted being grounded when you are in rehearsals and dance classes, doesn't change your life too much).
One NYE, I went to see the movie Chorus Line with my sister and her friend.
One spectacular NYE, Victoria and I went to Vegas - Lottie and Lala had a great time.
This year, my friend Amiee and I are going to Zanzibar to see my favorite d.j. We will nosh a bit first at a local restaurant then to dance to fabulous music. Perhaps there will be stories to relate tomorrow. hmmm...

New Year's Day

Welcome 2009. We have been waiting for you. We have great hopes for you. We have a new president being inaugurated this month. And we have all kinds of possibilities available. It may not seem that way with the climate of lack and want. But there are always possibilities. It will be an exciting year.

My friend, Tracy, asked me last night what I wanted in 2009. My first though was to be madly in love and happily pregnant (and I added - in love with some one equally in love with me and excited that I am pregnant with his child).

This "resolution" scares the begeezers out of me in some way. I have said it before and it hasn't happened yet. Having it not happen scares me and having it happen scares me too. But being madly in love and happy sounds like fabulous way to spend my time on earth. It is definitely something to live into.
