Happy 2006

What.ev.er.

Old resolution: Be more positive.
New resolution: Be more positive that a positive attitude is just a set up for more frustration.

Go back to old motto: Expect the worst, then you're prepared.



p.s. things are not as bad as I am making it seem. A string of very petty things all adding up. 2006 definately did not start with the wonderful bang that I had set myself up for. As a matter of fact I didn't even get to countdown to 2006 because that was ruined by a bunch of bullshit.

Who, seana? *looks around* ;-)

Carey, I'm sorry you had a less than fantastic start to the year. It's only the 2nd (3rd now), things will look up.

*smooches*

Tell me about it, sweetie. I think this is one of the reasons I really hate New Years Eve, and all the hoopla people assign to it, and all the expectations they place on it and themselves.

Jan 1st always dawns as one big disappointment. *sigh*

This is why I like my birthday to be my New Years. I don't have to share it with everyone else, and I can make resolutions without the added pressure of everyone asking about them, and everyone ready to let you know when you've broken them.

*hugs* to Carey

I *heart* you too.

I bet your bullshit is resolved now, yes?

If not, drink a Tom Collins and hope that Karma has a good year on everyone who makes everyone else miserable.

I know, I'm naturally a total beyatch.

I despise New Year's (and Valantines Day). I hate every single aspect about it. My commitment to be a better person than the day before is an every day thing. New Year's day is the anthesis of one day at a time.

Blogger Coco said...

*smooch*

I agree with Monsty, for once.

I hope you're feeling better and that you have let the bullshit go.

(or at least shellacked it and made it into a nice clock. My aunt did that for Christmas gifts once and they looked really neat.)

Thanks for sticking up for me elsewhere. The hypocrisy of the whole matter was truly laughable.

Oh, T-kit, I meant to ask you if you could email me those recipes after all. Not only do I want them, but my MIL is harassing me for them. She loved the cherry cookies especially.

Carey all New Years is doing is passing from December to January. One month to another. Or even one day to another. We could have another countdown February 2nd if you want. I find the Groundhog has many cleansing qualities about him.

I agree with Monsty. I hate New Years, never do anything. I hate Valentines Day, never do anything really either. Just a day made up by media and such.

All my attention goes to the Groundhog now. Remember the Groundhog...he/she will set you free.

1/03/2006 6:08 AM  
Blogger thndrkttn said...

Coco, it's on it's way. Those cherry covered cookies are fabulous.

I always make those for the guy across the street that is kind enough to plow us out if it snows a lot while we are at work. Sometimes, I think he plows us just to get the cookies. Even trade if you ask me.

And to take part in the discussion, I normally hate New Year's but I had a particularly nice one this year. Anything to make up for the horror that was Christmas. *shudder*

I just thought you would all want to know that.

New Year's is one of those holidays I don't vest much of myself in. Sometimes we party & have the expected fun, a few times we have just slept through it.

In Ecuador, for New Year's they make a life size 'Old Man' effigy, dress him in old clothes and stuff and then burn him at midnight. I kind of like that tradition. You can be happy, sad, mad or whatever while you light up the old guy and watch him burn.

Of course I am a pyromaniac. Part time.

1/03/2006 7:20 AM

Or you could shellac some gifts and set them on fire. Shellac burns well, I think.

Oops. I forgot to heart you.

I like that idea, Swami. Maybe I'll go home and burn something tonight. Hopefully not dinner.

Yes Breezy, a pretty journal might be helpful. *smooch*

And a *smooch* for Tkit. Just because I want to keep the Tkit mojo going. *grin*

I think Breezy should make everyone pretty journals.

"Go back to old motto: Expect the worst, then you're prepared."

I completely agree with this statement, especially given the upcoming work situation. The evil employee? Will be transferring to my office Feb. 3rd. Life is going to SUCK!!!

Can't I just ship her overseas somewhere? I just keep reminding myself that it's not forever. I will not have to work with this woman forever.

Have I told you today how much I *heart* you? And I am going to get an early jump on Valentine's Day and ask you to be mine. Pretty please?

Any plans for next New years?

YAY! I have dibs on Carey for Valentine's Day!

DH is pretty good humored about you and I tease him pretty regularly but when I told him we share the title of Mrs.Alstott, umm, not so funny anymore. *giggle*

1/03/2006 8:41 AM

That's funny because Michelle and I got into a real argument recently over me calling him my husband. *snort*

HA! You too? *gigglesnort*

What is it about him? My ex wouldn't even let me watch the Bucs play, he was so jealous.

1/03/2006 8:45 AM

Yep. She wanted to know how I could call him my husband when I don't believe in marriage. LOL
I had to explain the whole "just a fantasy" thing to her. *giggle*

*2006 started with a bang, I mean.

Same reason Augie likes August? No, not at all. She likes August because it's hot. I like January because it's cold and it's the start of a new year.
