kittykats1's blog post - 2007 - almost over!

In less than 16 hours 2007 will be over and we will usher in 2008.

I am hoping this new year will be better then the previous. So many things had gone wrong in '07 to so many I love. Not just my fiends but family as well. My family experienced a tragic and unexpected loss on Thanksgiving. It has been hard for everyone to get back to normal (whatever that is) and I fervently hope things will get better for everyone. Clean slate, right?

It will be a quiet day and evening here at my house. Hubby just left to go to T&K's house to finish a project he was working on while they are on vacation. I am home as one of us needs to be here at all times thanks to my girl who flat out refuses to birth that litter she is carrying around - she looks like a blimp, I kid you not! I will be doing a lot of chores and such while keeping an eye on her till hubby returns. We both need to go to the gym but will have to take turns and I really would like to run to the mall to finish off my returns/exchanges from Christmas. We will see if I get to that today. Most everything is closing early today so if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.

We shall be staying in as a family tonight. No partying for us. It will be just the 3 of us. I am making a nice dinner and we will maybe watch some movies. I have some noisemakers and those things that shoot confetti for our son to have. He can stay up as late as he pleases tonight. He has never made it to midnight but maybe this year. Regardless, we shall toast 2008 with sparkling cider and bid 2007 a hearty good riddance. Hardly exciting but it makes me happy to be safe and not on the roads. Too many sad memories of my cousin creep back on this day. I will think of her and her baby today as I go about my day, and remember the good memories I have of her. I am still bitter that she was taken from us far too soon, but she is gone and nothing will bring her back. All I can ask is that you PLEASE do not drink and drive. My cousin wasn't drinking on New Years - she was pregnant - but the man who hit her was. She and her baby died and he walked away from the wreck with a broken arm. So I beg you, do not get behind the wheel tonight if you have had booze and if you are not drinking tonight, please be careful of the fools on the road who have been drinking. Be alert and be smart.

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Be safe and be happy and may 2008 bring you many wonderful things.


Puurrs to all,
