Happy New Year Quotes!

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~Oprah Winfrey

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughan


Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. ~Author Unknown


A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. ~Author Unknown


New Year's Day is every man's birthday. ~Charles Lamb
 
New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. ~Hamilton Wright Mabie




The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to. ~P.J. O'Rourke

I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second. ~Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary

YAY My Birthday:)

Well it was my Birthday today! I have turned the big 45...OUCH! That stings a little bit. I know that the people older than me think I'm just a baby. I've actually heard that several times this week. I don't feel like a baby....thats for sure.
I had a really good day today. I first woke up to my youngest son Justin telling me Happy Birthday in a big happy voice:). Then my phone started ringing with family calling to tell me Happy Birthday. It's funny because like a race to see who can call me first lol. Speaking of that....I was up late last night, so late that at 12:05am I sent my twin sister a Happy Birthday wish on her Facebook page. It fealt good to be the first one to do that on our actual Birthday. I wish I could have been with her today, but she lives in Austin, several hours away. So I had to settle for a phone call. It sounds like she had a good birthday with her kids and grandkids. I had a wonderful birthday with my two son's and their girlfriends. I spent most of the day just chill'n with my youngest son Justin. And in the evening we all went to the Macaroni Grill and I was treated to a wonderful dinner with my two favorite men and their beautiful girlfriends. I also received a wonderful gift from my son Brandon. He gave me a picture viewer. You know the electronic picture frame that changes pictures. I just love it. I was shocked to find out it also has music and video capabilities. I never ever knew they came with those features! I was pleasantly pleased. This was a wonderful Birthday that I will always remember fondly. I love my son's....You guys are AWESOME!

Mothers Day!

I just want to tell all the Mom's out there- "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!"
I had a great Mothers day. I got chocolate pie and beautiful flowers from both my sons. My youngest son Justin and his girlfriend Amanda gave me the chocolate pie (because they heard me mention that I wanted to make one the night before) and they gave me a really funny card. My oldest son Brandon and his girlfriend Amber gave me some gorgeous flowers. Of course they didn't have to buy me anything. Just their love is good enough for me. They were and absolute joy to raise and they make me the happiest Mom just being themselves. Thank God for wonderful sons:)
