Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!! *hug*

I hope everyone has a wonderful (and safe) one!

I received such a wonderful surprise today! A dear old friend sent me flowers.. with a lovely note saying “best wishes for a healthy 2004″ and things like that. The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. There are yellow roses - that have pink tips.. and the most beautiful shade of pink carnations. (it’s my new favorite color. I’ve never seen anything so vibrant!) Other roses and carnations.. everything just mixes together so beautifully! I was completely shocked.. and it made my day. I was so happy! =) I’m now a firm believer that flowers are the best way to put a smile on someone’s face. I’ve received two of the most gorgeous bouquets of flowers I’ve ever seen this year. :heart:

*happy dance* :elephant:

I wonder how many posts I will put up in the few hours left of 2003??

the end of 2003

Wednesday, December 31st, 2003

This is one of the last posts I’ll make in 2003.. Yikes. I must admit though.. I’m very excited about 2004 starting up. I want a fresh start.. :yes:

There are so many things I want to do in the upcoming year.. and so many things I want to move past that happened in 2003. There were lots of good times though.. I like to work on a list of things I’m happy about.. I’ve started it, but not finished. I’ll post it when I finish maybe. :) I want the list to focus on the positive in 2003 - there were far too many negative things gonig on.

What is one thing you’re happy about from 2003?

finally..

I’m back, baby! (for how long though -well… I’m not going to worry about that right now.) Things are working at the moment and that is good enough for me. :) The first thing I did when I signed on was check email and stuff. hehe… I’m such an addict.

I hope everyone is having a splendid week! *hug* I need to catch up on everything now!

I haven’t been able to get online at all over the past few days.. and ya would not believe how many emails were just downloaded - so if you’ve emailed me - I haven’t seen it. :( A few of you know what happened - I’m sure you are used to the, “I can’t get online!” calls that you get from me quite frequently. (I’m addicted..) Hopefully this won’t happen again for awhile. *fingers crossed*

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! :)

Christmas Eve-Day

Wow, I can’t believe it’s December 24th! *gasp* I’m just shocked time is flying by so fast.

I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday! :hug:

things you would never know without the movies…

  • During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.
  • When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
  • If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick’s Day parade - at any time of year.
  • All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to the waist level on the man lying beside her.
  • The Chief of Police will almost always suspend his star detective - or give him 48 hours to finish the job.
  • All grocery bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.
  • It’s easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone to talk you down.
  • The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place - noone will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.
  • Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned to a partner who is their polar opposite.
  • The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
  • All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they are going to go off.
  • If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition, even if you haven’t been carrying any before now.
  • You are very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
  • Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language - a German accent will do.
  • If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor’s first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.
  • A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
  • When paying for a taxi, don’t look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
  • Kitchens don’t have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.
  • If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
  • Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning even though their husband and children never have time to eat it.
  • Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames.
  • All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.
  • A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of RFK stadium.
  • Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.
  • Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.
  • It is not necessary to hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations.
  • Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
  • It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.
  • A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
  • It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will patiently attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
  • When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.
  • No-one ever involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.
  • Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.
  • You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
  • Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds - unless it’s the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.
  • Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment that it is aired.

One thing I will definitely not miss when the Christmas season is over…

Chia pet commercials.

:wtf:

*trying to catch up*

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I’m in shock that time is flying by so quickly. Geez. I keep saying that, don’t I? It’s the truth!

One thing I asked for this year. To borrow one of Santa’s elves. I need help! hehe.. :yes: I’d be happy with that.

Did anyone catch that horrid thing on NBC the other night - Christmas Vacation 2?

*shudders and cringes*

I don’t know why they bothered. Really. :rolleyes:

So tell me folks - what is your fave Christmas movie?

helllllo?

*waves*

Hello hello!

I’ve been trying to sign online for days now - my computer has decided to flake out on me. Same old problem. It hates the home network and keeps dropping my connection. No one can figure out why it’s doing this.. bad network card? It was replaced. Twice now. It might be getting overheated.. it’s a mystery.

Things still aren’t 100% though. My connection is now up and running but none of the other connections in the house are.

Great.

I’m such an addict.. I was itching to sign on and check email and post. I just want to spend a ton of time here and catch up on everything!

I hope everyone is doing okay! I miss ya’ll!

One more thing I want to add to my Christmas list.. a f’n computer that works more than it doesn’t work. Well, my computer seems okay aside from the network problem. Hell, I just want a connection that works.

I’m so surprised it’s December 20th already! Time flies.

I’m being kicked off here so my father can work on the connections.. I’ll try and be here later!

keep your fingers crossed =P
