new years eve

ok im dreading new years eve. its because this is the first holiday season with out the ex financee. i'm not contacting him and am reminding myself that the reasons i broke up with him are still there but its the holidays and i'm lonely and i'm thinking of the good times. geesh! i can continue its been over 6 months now. i just needed to vent and wanted someone else to see my unhappiness and maybe say PAMMY snap out of it! kick me in the butt! i'm going to two new years eve parties. one at a co-workers who never met the ex and then finish up at the last one at a close friend who knew the ex and was glad i finally broke up with him. he was always at that party so i'll miss him somemore but my friend Lauren always has a ton of people at her house for that party so i'm sure that there'll be so much going on talking laughing eating OH NO EATING! that i'll have a good time and ring in the new year with friends. so what will 2007 bring us? anyone have their resolution lists ready to go? This year the top of my list is to get my finances in order. Pay the bills save money. Then travel is next. I am planning two vacations this year. One in april to vegas the next one in december 2007 for my 55th brithday that will be to disney in orlando. thats pretty much it for now. i'm hoping that i meet the man of my dreams in person in 2007 for a change instead of when i'm sound asleep. of course when i'm sleeping when we meet i am at my very best with makeup, nice clothes, and oh boy am i a sparkling conversationist when i'm sleeping! everythign i say and do is just perfect! oh well maybe i should keep him right there in dream land. i also plan on posting right here new years eve after the partys. we can have our own little party right here! anyone else coming to this one? O O O last but not least...be very sure all of you that when you go to sleep new years eve to remind yourself that the very first thing you say when you wake up january 1st 2007 is to say rabbit rabbit rabbit. you need to do that for the very best good luck for 2007. i shall have it posted on the ceiling so i do not forget this year. good luck and god bless pammy

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit? LOL! You are doing the right things on New Year's Eve--getting out and mixing with friends. May you have a great 2007! Joy

Pammy, I've spent my fair share of New Year's Eves single and know what you're talking about. For me, there is nothing lonelier than being lonely in a relationship so I'll take going stag any day. Look at all the flirting you'll get to do. As for meeting the man of your dreams, keep your options open. The man of your dreams could be someone you'd never dream up in a million years. The man of my dreams turned out to be short, stout and asthmatic, but he's my man. Sunday night, strut your stuff, wear those sexy heels and have a blast. Hugs, Connie

DEar Pammy I didn't think anyone else new about the Rabit, Rabit, Rabit thing. My dad use to do that not only the first new year but the first of every month. before saying or doing anything out of bed (it is suppose to bring good luck all month & the year). You realize he died 35 years ago, so to hear someone else say that after all this time is just too funny. Do you no where it originated from? Just curious!! Have a blast at your parties, Happy New year to you. AT least you have a party to go to. Marilyn, the BEarlady

I never heard of the 'rabbit, rabbit, rabbit' rule! I don't do New Year's well, Pammie, hate the whole commercialized sensibility of most holidays, so I typically go to bed well before midnight and just get up the next day, the same as every other day. Won't do resolutions this year, that's for sure; I'm done with setting myself up for failure. Would rather commit to living joyfully and passionately every day of my life, not just some watered-down promise because I'm expected to jump through the New Year's hoop. I asked my family to join me in coming up with 3-5 things they'd each like to try in 2007, though - not resolutions, but rather doing something new and exciting, something they have never done before or have always felt afraid of trying. I'm still working on my list but one will be to learn to skull (is that how you spell it?) -- looks like a very long kyak and you just row miles down the length of a river. I'd like to skull on the Thames River - that's one of my objectives. Another is to take a pottery class - would love to slap some clay on a wheel and transform it into a beautiful piece of pottery. I love pottery. I also plan to pump up my fitness regimen because I want to see that elusive 135 on the scale. Not a resolution, just a renewed commitment to healthy living. Finally, I want to travel to Europe - or Seattle and British Columbia. And I hope 2007 will be the year I learn how to relax and celebrate the blessings in my life and let go of my lifetime frantic need to fix all that is wrong with it. Blessings to you and yours today, tomorrow, and every day for the rest of your lives. Reenie
