NO RESOUTIONS-JUST HOPES AND WISHES

The new year came in ratherly quietly for me. Went to a friends house and ate supper. Then we watched movies with the kids. Got home about 11:30. Of course I dosed off immediately so Britt had to wake me at midnite. Finished my laundry yesterday so I don't have to wash today. The black-eyed peas and cabbage are cooking now. I quit making new year resolutions a long time ago. Most people who do set their self up for failure. When you don't accomplish what you tell everyone you are going to do of course they remind you of it. So I call it making wishes and hope they are possible to come true. I have never be able to keep a resoultion. So here are a list of what I wish for and hope for the new year:

1. For everyone to be safe and healthy.

2. To be able to lose a few pounds.

3. To quit or at least cut back on smoking.

4. To keep my house and life more organized.

5. For my child to learn to respect me more and help more.

6. For everyone to be prosperious and happy.

I know that people can accomplish anything they really set their mind to. It's just when you are like me and have soooo many things going on sometimes that is hard to do. I can start off pretty good but then life kinda kicks in. Britt says maybe you will meet someone this year. If I do I do. If I don't I don't. I don't feel I am any less a woman without a man. My friends say I am looking for Mr. Perfect. What they don't understand is he doesn't really exist. I know lots of great guys. I consider several of them to be very good friends. But I just don't know (or have met any recently) that I would like to hang onto. My Mr. Perfect would be easy on the eyes (my eyes anyway), have a JOB, be trustworthy, honest, if he has kids a good dad and understand that my kid is very important to me and will come first. Any one know anybody that fits this description send a pic. I will check him out. Hope everybody has a great new year. May all your hopes and wishes come true.

That list would work for any or all of us, Sis. And as for Mr. Perfect, he's a character in a fairy tale. That's why I'm still with Mike. He ain't that easy on the eyes but he don't bitch when I've got other things to do, he don't ask for much and he makes me laugh.

Happy New Year Sis
