Sad New Year

Not really, but I was out this week and I heard "Happy New Year" so often it was getting on my nerves. Some clerks said it when I first got to check out and then when I paid and then after everything was packed up and I was leaving. And, of course, you have to say it back, so that could be six Happy New Years by the time you're finished with one person. I know ALL the clerks where I shop, so... And, I think some perfect strangers talked to me just so they could say Happy New Year... And, get it said back to them.

What saved yesterday is that I got all of my Christmas cards. I have extremely terrible postal service in my town. To get Christmas cards -- all of them on New Year's Eve... is just about the usual thing to expect.

Did 2008 seem like a longer year than usual to you? It did to me. It was an extremely long year. There was so much going on, and it seems as if the more things go on, the longer it appears the year is. That's probably why years lasted so long when you were a child. Do you remember how it took forever for Christmas to get there or for your birthday to come? Probably because every event was kind of a new experience and so it was momentous. So then the year seemed really really long.

My sister-in-law sent me an amazing gift (received on New Year's Eve). I was astonished. I won't tell you what it was but it was just perfect!

Well I'd best end this post.

Happy New Year.

Don't even think of saying it back to me. ***laughing*** Now you have nothing to say, do you?




How lucky for you. I see I was going to post a bunch of songs in a player, but forgot to do it. Now you don't have to listen to them. (even if they really were very very good).

Hi J, My mom used to tell us not to wish our life away
when we got impatient. Would you be my Valentine?

Oops... now I regret saying HNY in my last comment on your blog. J n' I always talk about how time seemed to go in slow motion when you're a child, and now it often whips by so quickly. Remember summer vacations? They felt like forever... now summer seems so fleeting. But that's probably because most people (besides teachers) don't get two months off to enjoy it... and well, I don't live in a warm place like you where it's summer all year round.

At least wishing one a happy new year is different from "Have a nice day". Now that irritates me.

2008 Was a bad year, Jenni. So much happened in the last year of Dubya's presidency but hey, we got a good man who will take office in 2009. Let's hope that the future will be brighter. I know he is not a Messiah but he has good organizational skills and a fine mind and is seeking out the best and the brightest for his administration. Love ya Babe.

You got an amazing & perfect gift, but won't tell us what it is? Why did you even mention it? You're such a tease...
