Hello 2008!

Happy New Year, everyone! I have great expectations for 2008, I think it's going to be a great year. It started out great, as we had a few friends over to help us bring in the new year together. It was the perfect mix of new friends and old. What a great time. I didn't know if we were going to do anything, as Big D lost his job last week. I was a little upset, but now look at this as a fresh start. We know the company wasn't going to back him up on anything, and he was going to leave them anyway, so it just happened a little sooner than we had anticipated. Some highlights of the evening were: * Julie learning how to play pool * Ted doing his 'grinding' thing * Roger, Debbie and Wayne actually showing up! * "Who sprayed the fire extinguisher on his ass?!" And now for the lowlights: * Coming back from the store to find Julie and Kramer looking for Rolaids * People stepping on poor Spotsy * Finding the bottle of JD empty, and knowing exactly what that meant * Finding out who sprayed the fire extinguisher on his ass Yes, it was a great party. Please don't ask about the fire extinguisher. I think it's enough to say that my parties are always fun, and usually very entertaining, as well! Here we go, 2008. I hope you're a better year than 2007!

Goodbye 2007!

2007 has been a very challenging year, to say the least! Here are 10 things I have learned (and blogged about) this year: 10. How to deal with a Toxic Boss. 9. The damage that a microwave can inflict upon your sponge. 8. Taking Claritin D equates to some of the old days in high school. ;o) 7. Just how cold (and HOT) it can get on a motorcycle in the desert! 6. Finding out your hubby is in jail feels like being on candid camera (without the laughs)! 5. How to put together the many pieces of a very complicated secret-marriage puzzle. 4. Rogue waves in Virginia can cause serious injuries! 3. People will not steal your SlimFast from the company fridge if they are wrapped with creamed corn labels! 2. I look HOT in chaps! :o) 1. I am so blessed to have such a great husband, family and friends! Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2008 is more interesting, and maybe a bit less challenging! ;o)
