I can't toast a beautiful sunset this week - there won't be one because it's raining hard. The sun sets in about an hour but it's really cloudy out so it's looking dark already.
I had two New Year's Resolutions:
-Eat breakfast every day (even if fruit or bottled yogurt on the way to work)
-Aim for a better work/life balance
And so far, I've blown them both! So, I'll toast my failure with the same drink as last week... diet Coke for me.
We MUST go pay a visit to Frank's Shrine! :cool:Quote:

Our winter here so far has been a big disappointment, but I can pretend it's cold out!
Oh, and I didn't make any resolutions, so haven't broken any yet! So far I haven't had any new, bad allergic reactions to foods - but have been eating very conservatively. I guess throwing up as little as possible is a *goal* for the new year ... but as I never know when I've developed a new food allergy, it's not something over which I have any control.
may i have a cranberry and grey goose, heavy ice please? so far i'm doing well with my one resolution...not to swear while at work. i'm snapping a rubberband around my left wrist when i do swear, just 2 snaps. OY!!!!!!
Ditto!Quote:

Ditto on the Cherry & Nilla Coke - but *spike* it with a lil Rum, please.
Onion Rings are "diet" type, aren't they? :rolleyes:
:D My resolution - to visit Thursdays more often! :D
I haven't revealed much here on PT, but these past few months have been hell. My father-in-law passed away after a brief ilness in early November. Byron has had to work extra hard to be there for his mom during this difficult time. Then if that wasn't bad enough, my Sidney (my ten-year old kitty), vanished in the end of November so I have been devistated ever since. The holidays were so hard - but now I'm glad they are over so we can star anew.
sorry to be such a downer - I guess I should have spoken up sooner - but back to my resolution - I've always found Thursdays to be such a wonderful place and I regret that I haven't been here as much as I should this past year.
Here's to everyone who stops by - whether you are a regular or just an occasional visitor, you mean more than you may imagine - happy new year to each and every one of you.
I'll have a Diet Mountain Dew, please. Oh wait ... too much caffeine so close to bedtime. How about a Crystal Light instead?
My new year's resolution is to lose some weight! I quit smoking in October (so at least I don't have to worry about making THAT resolution anymore!) and I have sadly compensated for lack of cigarettes by eating constantly. :( So far so good, though, I'll let you know when I weight on Monday morning if I've lost any weight this week. Food is most definately my addiction and downfall.
*sigh* ... I suppose there are worse vices, though.
I didn't make any resolutions, but now that I think about it..... I really must stop brewing tea, leaving the teabag in for 15-20 min. or even longer, while I sit here, so that's this year's resolution. ;)
It's lunchtime now, but I'd like to order a G&T for later. :D
If there is a spike in the sales of Kleenex - it is just me - Mz Drippy Nose!
Oh, some of the blueberry tea would be wonderful this morning.
Julie, come on over and sit by the fire for a while. I know it is cold and windy here - probably is the same in Oregon. I am sorry that 2006 ended on such a down note for you and Byron. I kept looking for posts from you and didn't see any - now we know why. We will always be here for you.
Miss Annie woke me up at 3 am to tell me all about this horrible wind - bless her heart............of course, now she is fast asleep after her breakfast.
I'm with you, catland. 2006 was a very bad year for me, and I'm still struggling to find happiness in this new year. I'm sorry you've been going through such troubles. May you and Byron have a better start in this new year. I hope you can come again to the PT BBQ if our hostess with the mostess hosts it again! ;)
I should drop by Thursdays more often as well, but sometimes feel a little left out or like I'm intruding on a private party. :o I'll just sit quietly by the fire, if that's ok.
**hugs**
dear Wolflady... the party IS where YOU are you silly woman. Julie, there are a few of us that have given 2006 a not so ladylike gesture as it disappears... 2007 will be better, I just know it :cool:
Gee, I feel like that most of the time!Quote:

MOFF - is that you? Wolf Lady - soooo, we are pretty funny huh?
Well you try drinking a lot of the blueberry tea - and then find out the bathroom is "occupied".......................Mario thinks I am dancing with him - but that isn't why I am dancing:o
Sounds good, MOFF! We should probably hold off from tickling Mario until after he uses the bathroom! :eek:
That Blueberry tea sounds quite good. I think that would be nice to try this breezy, cool afternoon.
Gini...quick! The bathroom just opened up!
Well I just resolved to do more and I guess I'm easing into it with baby steps. I did work on a few thingsa but then faltered the last few days. Need to get my order made up for next week and keep putting it off. It's not an easy make or break res though like "i will run 5 miles everyday" just something to work on so wont know till next year if I failed.
I can't call 2006 bad since I got Pua but it was sort of a in like a lamb out like a lion sort of year lots of health any finacial issues so am glad to see a new year though 2007 hasn't quite been nice yet either. Quasi and Jupiter got Ringworm but Quasi is Cured and hair growing back and just found and am treating Jupiter now. Plus Quasi got a tumor on his toe but for now it's best to just watch and see if it grows cuz it's not a good place to remove it.
Ah blueberry tea sounds nice. Pua would like some too she loves tea with a bit of honey in it. She wnet after my cup last night :)
