Greetings from Whoville

A new year, a new beginning... out with the old in with the new and hoping everything in my path turns to gold... which wont happen, but its a nice dream.

Christmas, was nothing to write home about... I didn't put up a tree this year... I didn't even decorate, my daughter did.. I was NOT in the Holiday spirit... I won a poinsettia from work. it was huge.. I brought it home and that was our "tree" LOL...

I did make a nice big Christmas dinner... got a few gifts for the kids.. made a deal with both kids and the boy wrapped his sisters and the girl wrapped her brothers.. then I filled their stockings and hung them by the fireplace with care.. well not really..I set them under the "tree" cuz they were to heavy to hang.. but whatever...another day... another dollar....

We got hit with some ridiculous amounts of snow this year over the Holiday... worse the Pacific Northwest has seen in about 30 yrs... the snow in my back yard was up to my knee in some areas... I was snowed in.... couldn't get anywhere for days... it was crazy!!! Now, it's raining.. it's all melting and lucky us, were on flood warnings..

The New Year was brought in w/family at the casino.... I drank... I ate..and ate...and ate.....and was home by 11:30..I'm such a party animal.. About 12:30 I was getting ready for bed.. and got a hysterical phone call from a good friend...
Her hubby plowed his truck into the front of another car...
I made it from my house to her house in just under 7 minutes.. it's normally a 15 min drive.. the accident was not even 100 ft from her front door...
Luckily no one was hurt... everyone walked away... it's the hubby's fault..
he blew almost a 2...
They have a long road ahead of them...

Note to self.. Never drink and drive.. not only is it expensive (as I would say there looking at aleast 10k)
stay home... have some drinks.. if you go out, call a taxi.. call a friend..call your Mom..
Never.. NEVER get behind the wheel of that car.. no reason to drive.. NONE!!!

Happy New Year Everyone...
