Happy New Year! Isn’t it nice that we get to start over with a brand new clean calendar every year? 2006 was a year of ups and downs for me. The biggest down was losing my job of six years. I’m still not sure why. But the up side is that I have really enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom for a while. On the up side, I met an awesome guy, but the downside is that he doesn’t live anywhere near me. Another down was the destruction of my blogspot site, but the upside of that has been a new domain and a new host, and Miss Cellania has done really well since then.

For decades I have refused to make any New years resolutions. 2007 will be different. I resolve to find a job. A decent job. Not exactly a choice; its a have-to deal. But I’m going to get serious about it in January. I’m also going to get back into an exercise routine and lose some weight. The holidays have been too good to me!

I put together a List of the Lists of Lists of 2006. Its over at YesButNoButYes. You should really go see it.

I was looking for something nice to show you on YouTube for New years, and I found this from Jewish Impact Films. Of course, this would be more appropriate for the Jewish New year, which is in the fall, but I liked this video so much, I want to share it with you. Happy New Year: Shofar, So Good.

This program will help you print out calendars for any year in many languages. Fold them up to make a 12 sided figure.

A nice New Year’s Greeting.

I think women get more excited about New Year¹s Eve than men. If you think about it, you can see why. What do you do on New Years Eve? You get drunk and make a lot of promises you don't keep. You see, men do that all the time, it's called dating. - Jay Leno

My Wish for You in 2007

(lifted from One Man's View from Lansing, KS)
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address!

DIET

Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house.
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I would taste.
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store it was less a walk than a lumber.
I remembered the marvelous meals I'd prepared,
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rare,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "None for me, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---

I said to myself, as only I can
"You can't spend another winter disguised as a man!"
So -- away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished.
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie -- not even a lick.
I'll chew only on long celery sticks.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore
But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, life's no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

HANGOVER

John woke up New Years Day with a splitting hangover. He asked his wife if he had made a fool of himself.

"You sure did. You got up on the table and started dancing.", she says.

"Aww, crap.", he mumbles.

"You did, all over the furniture. We're never going back to the Smith's".

"Well piss them", he retorts.

"You did. All over your boss. You're fired."

"Well screw him. "

"I did. You're back at work on Monday.
