Okay, so it's almost another new year. Seems to me I just celebrated the incoming of this year (2007) just yesterday. For me, I get to celebrate New Year's two times. One on December 31 and one on or around February 7. You see, I celebrate the new year that everyone else does and I also celebrate the changing of the Chinese New Year. Being Buddhist part of my life revolves around the Lunar calendar instead of the 12 month calendar everyone else goes by. That can sometimes be confusing. 2008 is the year of the RAT.
Winter is here for sure now and we have seen some snow. Winters have been really light here the last few years as I remember the "Blizzard of 1978" to this day. That was the year that my 16th birthday got completely ruined by the biggest snow storm that I have ever seen. No school for almost 3 weeks, which would mean making up all those days if it were to happen now a days. ICK !
Stay warm and cuddle up with someone warm to celebrate the coming of the new year. Hope you 2008 is better than your 2007 was and not as good as your 2009 will be. Drink a drink for me as I have to work and will be unable to party.

I am sure that when I was a kid I loved the holidays. I think that it was because I didn't know any better or maybe I just loved the idea of a big fat jolly man in a red suit with a white beard and mustache. One year I even carried my illusion so far as to think that I heard something on the roof about 1:00 in the morning. I even went in to wake my parents to tell them that "Santa Claus is here, I heard the reindeer on the roof!" Now that I am older I do believe that there is a Spirit of Santa Claus that is the Spirit of giving. But shouldn't that Spirit live year round and not just in December?
Charities want us to give to help people in other countries who are starving. Sorry, but I do not give to those charities. Yes, I am terrible! Actually my reason for this is that we have people who are homeless and starving right here in our own country that I feel we should take care of them first. Maybe the "National Debt" wouldn't be so large if we didn't send our money to other countries and invested in our own country for once. Maybe we should bring our soldiers home and get our oil from Alaska in an environmentally safe way and let them deal with their own problems. You know the whole, "Keep your nose to yourself thing"? I always thought that charity started at home.
Okay, so I'll get off my soap box for now and do the right thing for this time of year and say:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR KIN AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Hello there!
Well, here is my new hair cut. If only I could style it like the stylist at the salon. I have never been able to make my hair look like they do at the salon. I can try but I can never get it.
Okay, so the holidays are almost here. BAH HUMBUG !
Cold weather has arrived along with 3 inches of snow. YAY! Not really.
Work is going okay, I suppose. It's better than where I was. I made stat money for last pay period so extra money on my check Friday. More money to pay bills and buy food is always good. I entered the Secret Santa at work. We exchanged names for anonymous gift and poem exchange. Yes, poem! I have to write a poem about the person that I drew. Funny thing is that I have only known who this person even is for only approx 2 months now. This should be fun. If my poem is picked I can win some money. Gotta go work on that poem!
