Happy New Year!
First, let me just wish everyone a very happy new year! I spent mine with my brother Marc, his fiance Jaimee, his groomsman Mike, and Mike's girlfriend Becky (talk about weird since I'm part of my own Mike & Becky couple!). We went out to eat at place called Tokyo Kitchen and had some good food. Then we watched Meet the Parents at Mike & Becky's and then to the theater for Meet the Fockers. It was a very mellow evening and with exception of the shot of sake I had with dinner, I didn't have any alcohol. It was exactly the kind of evening I wanted to spend for New Year's (minus the boyfriend, of course, who won't be back until Monday).
I've had a couple downers today, but I still fully expect 2005 to be a wonderful year. First, I woke up with a head cold...I had a sore throat earlier in the week, but that went away. The cold sat back in the sidelines Thurs and Fri, but decided to migrate to my head this morning. However, Marc to the rescue with Tylenol Cold...popped one pill and the nose and eyes stopped running! Thanks Marc!
Then, when I went out to my car this morning, I discovered that it had been egged. However, it was raining last night / this morning, so the egg didn't have a chance to dry and I was able to wipe it right off!
Lastly, on my way home, I got a speeding ticket. :( I was so close to home too...I was tired, it had been a long drive, and I really just wanted to be home and lay down with my cats. I saw the cop and slowed down, but not in enough time to avoid his radar. He caught me going 87 about 5 feet (actually, I have no concept of distance, so I really don't know how many feet, but it was close) away from a 70 zone. Apparently I was in a 65 zone...I actually thought it was 70 for that whole stretch, but now I know...and either way, I was still speeding. So that's a bummer (and a waste of money!), but at least it's been long enough since my last speeding ticket that I should be able to take traffic school with no problems and continue to have a clean record.
All in all, these downers weren't really that bad, so I am still very optimistic about 2005...I am bound and determined to cure my disease of being a pack rat!
Have a great 2005 everyone!
