Andy and I celebrated New Year's Eve with a nice early dinner at the Olive Garden. Love the soup, salad and bread sticks. Later, back home in our flannel jammies, we watched Dick Clark count down the new year, the big crystal ball in NYC drop and the crowd in Time Square usher in 2012. We toasted with a glass of bubbly, clicked glasses and kissed our first kiss of the new year.
That all sounds sweet and sentimental- right? Well, the truth is: we were both sick. Andy with a sore throat and me with a headache (and not from the 2 sips of wine either.) We just felt crummy, a feeling that continued through the night. This morning brought a worse headache, chills and nausea for me and scratchy sore, irritated throat and achy joints for Andy. How is that for starting a new year?
At almost 3 pm January 1st, things seem a little better although we were disappointed not to win the VA One Million Dollar Lottery. Three Virginia folks did and I bet they are celebrating right now. Oh well, we really didn't expect to win anyway.
I have to write my New Year resolutions and try to stick to them this year! But here is one that I hope to accomplish:
I am going to launch a website to sell my various items. It won't bring me a million dollars, but might help the "fixed income" thing a little bit. So, I will tell you about it soon. Right now, my jewelry, Christmas stockings and "fancy" bookmarks are available at One Block East Gallery in downtown Roanoke, VA. Check them out if you are in town. Debbie will help you find the perfect gift. More later about these items and more. Pictures too!
Meanwhile, Dear Readers- A very Happy New Year to each of you. I hope you have enjoyed my silly little blog- I certainly have had fun writing it. More to come, so tune in often!
