Happy New Year

It's 2007! Wow, time flies.... Seems like only yesterday that we were all waiting for 2000, the millennium to happen. I was in Florida with my daughter, just in case disaster struck. We were all at a friends house, gathered around a fire in their back yard. As midnight got closer and closer, we all speculated on what might happen and what we would do. We even had the TV on, watching the clock strike 12:00 midnight in other parts of the world. People were in the streets as fireworks exploded at the dreaded hour....hmmm...Nothing out of the ordinary happened! The partying continued and life went on. So, we went back outside, threw a few more logs on the fire, refilled the chips and dip and continued our wait. Sure enough, the clock struck 12:00... And nothing weird happened. All the suspense, hype and drama of 1999 was finally over. We gathered the babies and our empty dishes, went home and crashed.

Flash forward 6 years. Once again, I was in Florida with my daughter. This time though, there was no party. Just she and I on the sofa, in our jammies watching, of all things, 'Cars'. Her husband had left early that morning for Atlanta to attend a conference and girls were at a sleep over. The DVD was over about 11:00...by 11:20 we were both out like a light! Even after drinking a pot of coffee and eating chocolate, we couldn't keep our eyes open. Oh well, at least we were together. And the movie was cute....I love Tow Mater!

I just know that 2007 is going to be a great year, Ya'll!
