We took ourselves to a movie and had an excellent dinner. Sort of a party while watching something on netflix later and then to bed. That is what we enjoy.

We went for lunch with hubby's favorite cousin/ our long time friends. We sat and talked for hours and the time flew. I started with cold symptoms on the way home so we didn't go out. Stayed in and watched the ball drop with hubby. Very nice for a change.

We are winter Texans and will be working at the resort party, taking tickets. At midnight we will be celebrating our 42nd year of meeting. The best night of our lives!!

Slow & steady makes a winner of us. Even if we hit pitfalls, get up. Know that a new day is right around the corner.
Try to be all that you can be. Work at it a day at a time.

"Be not afraid of going slow; be afraid if standing still" (Chinese Proverb)

With God all things are possible.

If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

Now there's snow and more on the way...looks like I'm staying home this time.

For unknown reasons New Years Eve has always depressed me so I hope to spend it surrounded by my grandbabies and then to bed early

I'm not where I want to be, But I'm not where I was.

YIKES! Sorry to hear that Mrs. Bush...will be sending prayers.

I'm going to a party tonight, and will be wearing a FABULOUS size 8 Calvin Klein cocktail dress that I worked hard to fit into this year. Picture is on my SparkPage. :)

We are not celebrating--we are praying for a very sick little great grandson--one yr. old--in ICU--just diagnosed with Type I diabetes.

Yesterday a friend asked me to help her make chiles relleno for 60 people today. So this morning I will walk the dog, help the friend by chopping tons and peeling 60 peppers. Then Charlie and I will go to a movie. In bed early tonight but the fireworks will be noisy.

I have to work until 8pm, then home to bed because I have to work tomorrow too. My boyfriend also works until 2am. So I will be spending the evening alone.

Weight loss is accomplished with the mind.


A person who wants something WILL find a way....a person who doesn't will find an excuse.

Which do you prefer?
The pain of self discipline?....or...the pain of self regret?

Hi Lynn -
You said you will be making "the traditional meal" ... what is that?
We have our family over for Christmas on New Year's Eve - with a variety of foods. Wonder what we might like to add from someone else's traditions. emoticon

The greatest of warriors are these: time and patience.

Someone busier than you is exercising right now.

If you don't change anything, nothing will change.

We have nothing special planned. We'll do a pizza for dinner and probably watch TV or mess around on the computer--I got a new game yesterday.

We don't do anything to celebrate on New Year's Eve. We're usually in bed by 11pm. The neighbors will shot off fireworks and we'll see that from our front window ( too chilly to be outside).

I'm going out for dinner at a home style restaurant with my parents. Afterward, I am going to a party at my friend/neighbor's aunt's house for debauchery. FYI I will be spending the night-no drinking & driving! emoticon
