New Years Day
January 01, 2007 at 5:30 p.m.
So apparently, there is a New Years Day tradition in our fair area of Brasil of going to people�s homes in the morning and ringing the doorbell in hopes of getting a present. Or something. Kind of like trick-or-treating, but early in the morning after people have been up too late the night before.
We weren�t planning on ringing in the new year, but everyone near us was screaming and blowing up fireworks, and our resident baby was howling late into the night. So I was able to roll over and say �wuzzapliginght??� somewhere near the new year mark.
And then, bright and early at 8am, some moron kid rang our gate. Repeatedly. And after a groggy Jared told him to go away, we were blessed with several more visitors, ringing about 3 or 4 times before they gave up. OH, how I wanted to curse them out in English, but Jared made me stop. I was verra close to hurling rocks out of my balcony though. OH so close!!
You know, I have seriously been considering begging Jared to stay here� I do love the people, and I really despise moving (ironic, huh??), even if it would be to my own country. At 8:03am this morning, I was ready to whack the next Brasilian I saw just for the sheer joy of it all.
Happy New Year, JERKS! Yeah, that�s what I woulda said.
So I checked out my horoscope for the upcoming year, and except for a pretty dead on first point, everything else is typical Libra stuff � we�re shallow, so buy us something and give us ME time. (I gave birth to a Libra too, gasp!!)
Libra:
(September 23 - October 22)
1) Stop - immediately, now - trying to be all things to all people. It's impossible, and it's stressing you out.
2) Cut loose the neediest of the needy, between January and March. You'll be doing them a favor.
3) Revive (or initiate) the intimacy between you and your sweetie.
4) In August and September, continue to convince everyone (but your partner) to live without you, and focus on your career.
5) Allow yourself to gloat - just a tad. And buy yourself a reward. Yes, really.
But Jared�s was a little more interesting about the new year � creepily so.
Gemini:
(May 21 - June 20)
1) You've felt stuck, and you're sick of it. Your top resolution is to stop pretending to enjoy what you don't - including the company of that coworker who's been undermining you.
2) That relationship issue you've been stalling? Stop stalling. Make it or break it.
3) If relocating for work is an option, go for it.
4) By October, end that argument with your sibling or neighbor.
5) Plan to be in your own home by the holidays.
Good golly! Don�t know how much stock I put into this stuff, but super creepy there. Check out your own if you want here.
What a crazy year though, huh?? Not a whole lot of good on the world front it seemed, although having our VP shoot someone was pretty entertaining for a while. For a truly hilarious wrap up of the year, check out my favorite humorist
Dave Barry recap 2006. Laugh out loud stuff, even though at the time, we wanted to throw bricks at everything. I like how Bode Miller is responsible for most of the crap:)
SUPERCRACK dreams of some sleep tonight� PLEASE sleep gods!!!
