Here it is - 2007!

Wow! Where has the time gone...I know - I got yelled at by some anonymous lurker! How rude!

So didja have a good weekend? Ring in the new year with lots of fun? Eileen, how was festivus?

Overall the weekend was good. Friday night included cocktails and 80's Trivial Pursuit and poker...which I am NO good at, btw. I'm a good card player...great at euchre - brilliant in canasta, love spades, hearts...but this whole betting thing, bluffing thing...yeah, not so much. I mean really...I think I'm like every other warm-blooded girl - you bet when you have good cards, fold when you don't...don't spend the money if you can't make the money. THAT is no good. THAT doesn't win you any pots. That is a bunch of MUCK. Yeah, that's right, I said it...MUCK. And when I did try to take risks...bluff if you will...nuthin. The one hand I could have actually won with? The river came along with a spade and swept it right out from under me. BASTARDS. It's a conspiracy, I say. But I wasn't the first one out, and I stayed in longer than Kev-head. So there. It was fun.

New Year's Eve was filled with drinking and chatting and pictionary - I forgot how much I liked pictionary. We had dry erase boards and it was something we could do with the kids, so that was fun. We almost missed midnight, however. I looked up and realized it was 11:56 and I dashed upstairs to get the champagne. Whoops.

So far I've kept 1 resolution. I've got time for the others. I'm positive about it - I can totally do this. No problem. Especially since I've adopted Colleen's resolution to sit on my butt and drink red wine. Hmmmmm...then I've accomplished TWO resolutions! Which is two more than usual, so THERE.

I had funny stories for you guys...but I forgot them. I guess memory work should be another resolution. We'll see. How are you?

Here, here to keeping our resolution, Rebecca. I just downed a couple glasses of red and I'm sittin' on my ass. So, we're doin' just fine, I'd say.

I though euchre was an Ohio thing. It's in Hoosier land, too???

By a stroke of good fortune, I was in attendance when Boise State left the Oklahoma Sooners in a state of shock. Fun, fun game.

And, tonight after work a friend surprised me with tickets to the AZ governor's inauguration party. Too fun and I even got to shake hands with the lady.

I like the way this year is starting out. (Now, if I can just figure out how to score tickets to the Ohio State/Floriday game next Monday. . .

In the meantime, remember Rebecca - red wine, lots of red wine.

My resolution is to have a baby this year! HA!
That's too easy. Can I get out of a resolution since I quit smoking in September? I could just borrow that one, couldn't I?
All of you....drink red wine for me! It will be a while before I can savor a drop!
Happy New Year everyone!
*btw Scott, I loved your resolution. Although the thought of you talking about boobs, makes me completely crack up!*

I loved Scottish's resolution, too, Tig - too funny. We'll see if he can do it!

Festivus was a blast, but we're all sick around here...my with bronchitis, Nathaniel has the beginnings of a cold...I'm working from home and he's home from school. Will write more later after the Robitussin fog clears. (By the way, Diet Pepsi and Robitussin makes quite a little buzz.)
