Happy New Year...
To those I love, and hold dear to my heart:
Wishing you a wonderful year to come in 2007. Wishing you happy memories to add and share, Health, and of course HAPPINESS. Most of all, I wish you a year filled with laughter...belly hurt'n laughter.
Each year, we tune into some tv station and countdown to the New Year, and each year, the song that they play I would think they were singing "old lang side"...and couldn't for the life of me figure why such a song would be sung...
Well, this year, I looked it up...I educated myself...and I am sure a few of you out there are laughing and swearing I should have been a blond right now...but I had NO clue they were actually saying "Auld Lang Syne". Once I found that out, I then moved on too "WHAT THE HELL IS AULD LANG SYNE????
Well here is what I found:
The link has the words of the song, and the translation for those like myself couldn't figure out what the heck it's about.
Apparently, the song reminisces about friendship of long ago, how the friendship shouldn't be forgotten. The very last verse of the song talks about getting together for the sake of the friendship...extending of the hands, to forget the bad and remember the good.
Interesting stuff. Perhaps I should add that to my "resolutions" list...to try and be better at connecting (or re-connecting) with old friends. Although it might be hard, considering that this year, I resolved not to resolve.
Every year I usually make some sort of resolution...usually to lose the weight that I've been trying to lose my entire life. This year though, I didn't...or well, I kinda made a joke about the "Running Room" again, but my partner in crime didn't find it to be that great of an idea...I don't understand, I mean, we LOVED it so much that we swore all the time...how is that not good, clean fun?
At this point, I'd like to mention my sis-in-laws resolution (one of them)..."to think before I speak and to realize that not everyone gets sarcasm"...
2006 was a great year! I can actually say, that for the first time in a REALLY long time, Billy and I had an entire year of no major life altering events!!! We had some hiccups...but we dealt with them, and moved on, and we are still loving life...it's all good.
- We moved into our new home
- Renovated the new home without getting divorced
- Took abi skating for the first time
- Went to Vancouver, abi touched the ocean for the first time ever
- Abi cut her hair
- Celebrated 6 years of marriage
- I got to see my brother, and meet my new nephew
- My parents celebrated 40 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!!!
- We (okay I) added "Lucy Lu" who at this moment is in her "naughty corner"...
- Cooked a Turkey for the first time...okay, so I watched as my brother in law did all the work...I did turn the oven on...I tried again at Christmas, but the mother in law decided to do it instead...hmm, I'm starting catch on here...do you think my in-law's think I can't cook a turkey?????
- Got to see one of my best friends get married...and see the sparkle back in his eye!!
- Cross-stitched for the first time in my life.
- Made abi a blanket...something I have been wanting to do since I was pregnant with her!
- Said "good-bye" to a grandfather...and saw some healing take place.
- Met my best friend Julie's son...who is so gorgeous!
- Went back to Full-time...sort - of.
- Was reminded how hard life is, but saw (again) how my husband is in it for the long haul, and is my shining star...and that he is my ultimate best friend.
- Realized how rare a true friendship is...and learned how to let go.
- Spent two Friday nights at the MRI clinic...a highlight only because of who I spent it with, and the irony of "favors" ;)
- Shopped at a Wal-Mart until 1:30am, two days before Christmas...an experience all should endure once...with a good friend who you can spend the time laughing with as you make fun of each other.
- Took abi tobogganing in our back-yard...yes, we have the much snow already!!
- Saw my husband drunk...and got mad at him for a few days.
- Scratched the side of our truck...and blamed it on the husband for being drunk and making me so mad that I didn't pay attention to where the garage door actually was...
- Forgave my husband for getting drunk...but continue to bring it up.
So here's to 2007...
To those I love, Peace.
