There is not much to report today on this first day of 2008 other than I am still here. I watched the ball drop in Times Square on TV from my bed surrounded by wadded up tissues and toasted the cats with a flute of orange juice. I made it through Christmas in Arkansas and it was good to see my mom and family. I felt like I was coming down with a cold or something last Saturday so I hightailed my butt back to Alabama on Sunday. Sure enough I picked up some kind of lovely bug and will spend New Years Day in bed (most of the time anyway). I am coughing and snotty and all over ugh! It just makes you appreciate the days you feel good. (How long does a cold last anyway?) This sucks AND it is really cold outside.
Rick's brother Bill called to say Happy New Year this morning and reminded me that I could watch college bowl games all day starting at 10:30 am. That actually sounds pretty good since I don't plan on getting dressed. Bill will be celebrating at his casino of choice.
Jason called at midnight from New Orleans and wished me a Happy New Year and surprisingly I was still awake. (of course I had napped during the day) It was good to hear the words "I Love You" at the beginning of a new year when you didn't expect it.
Last year Rick and I toasted the New Year in with Ricky, Keri, Angie, and Sophie complete with the silly hats and all. It was a treasured memory since we never really thought we would make it to New Years when I bought the hats the previous February...ha ha
So, to all of you out there reading my blogg........Happy New Year! I hope that this proves to be a healthy and wonderful year for all of us.
