Good afternoon on this New Years Eve Day to all.
First i’d like to say Happy New Years eve to all! Whatever you are doing to celebrate, I hope you have lots of fun. Don’t drink and drive, don’t drink and cane, don’t drink and dog and all that other stuff that one could come up with for both the sighted and blindy worlds.
As for me, I was going to host this big New Year’s eve party but that has now changed. Cassie and I had started planning this since Thanksgiving and git’s now a complete failure. The reasons are not able to be shared at this time as to why. If you really want to know, ask me and if I feel like talking about it I will do so. However if i don’t please don’t try and pressure me into talking about it, it will all come out in a future entry anyway. I just ask for time. So, instead of the party I had planned it has been decided that Cassie and I will hang out tonight here at my house playing cards and ordering pizza. We will have a few drinks and then at midnight, call it a night as i have not slept well in the past two nights. *sigh*. Cassie and I will have fun I’m sure.
This has been one messed up year, I can’t say I’m sad to see it go. i had planned to do this whole big year end review on my life but, blah. Perhaps I’ll keep up better with documenting the significant things in 2014. Let’s see…
1. I have bene to Land To Air for three years this year.
It has been fun and I continue to enjoy my job even though at times it’s tough to deal with unruly and rude passengers. I sometimes miss the easy going airport passengers. Oh well, it’s good to expand on things at times. WE still do the airport stuff but adding Grey Hound and Jefferson Lines into the mix sure keeps things interesting.
2. I got a new addition to my little family.
I took in a little black kitten and she sure keeps me on my toes. Luna Morgana turnred nine months old this past Sunday. Ozzy totally hated her when I first brought her home. He was kind of like, mom, why are you bringing this little monster into my home? Make her go away, I don’t like her. Now the two get along ok, I think it’s more like Ozzy tollerates her now. Luna’s definitely a mommy’s girl though. It’s alright, she’s a joy to have around. I’m not quite sure i could give her up if I wanted to. While I refer to her as “hell on paws,” she’s my comfort in a lot of ways.
3. I was in a relationship, and then it ended.
Yep, I got back with Jerry in August. Things were, in my eyes, or seemed good for a while and then things happened. Again, not at liberty to share at this time. This past Friday night we decided mutually to end things. It was sad and now it’s anger that I feel. Why am I angry? Again I’m sorry but I can’t answer that at this time. I promise to do a future entry all about it. New topic?
4. I gained a new best friend who lives in my building.
Cassie is one of the coolest people I have ever met. She’s also part irish or as she told me today, “damned near half.” It’s pretty cool because now when I talk about irish foods and such she knows what i’m talking about. We hang out all the time and have gone shopping together. She’s fun to flirt with too. LOL! She’s straight but I told her she makes it too easy for me to flirt with her. I’d never seriously hit on her as like i said she’s straight. She does give it right back and at times starts it. LOL! Cassie’s lots of fun and i hope she and I can remain friends for a long time to come.
So there are some things that have happend in this year. Some good, some bad. WE all have those times though.
Have some fun stuff to end this entry with.
T’was the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I’d nibbled, the eggnog I’d taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I’d remember the marvelous meals I’d prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I’d never said, “No thank you, please.”
As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself, as I only can
“You can’t spend a winter disguised as a man!”
So–away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
‘Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie–not even a lick.
I’ll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore—
But isn’t that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all
and to all a good diet!
That’s not me. LOL! I found it amusing though.
Here’s one more for those who will be getting their drink on tonight.
Ten Indications of a New Year Hangover
1. You get it into your head that chirping birds are the Devil’s pets.
2. Trying to gain control of the situation, you continue to tell your room to “Stay still.”
3. Looking at yourself in the mirror induces the same reaction as drinking a glass of fresh paint.
4. The bathroom reminds you of the fairground cry, “Step right up and give it whirl!”
5. You’d rather chew tacks than be exposed to sunlight.
6. You set aside an entire afternoon to spend some quality time with your toilet.
7. You replace the traditional praying on your knees with the more feasible praying in a fetal position.
8. Your catch phrase is, “Never again.”
9. You could purchase a new fridge on the proceeds from recycling the bottles around your bed.
10. Your new response to “Good morning,” is “Be quiet!”
Haha! Gods know i’ve bene there before for some of those. Quite fun though. Have you ever noticed however that when you say “never again” you always end up doing it again? At least, that was the case with me and still is.
Well, I’d better go and switch the laundry over to the dryer. Gotta run to the grocery store for a few last minute things before Cassie and i hang out.
Have a great New Years all!
