I’m hearing that there is going to be a brand new Waterford Crystal Ball dropping at Times Square during the count down of the coming of the new year. From what I understand it is supposed to be spectacular site and the new ball is twice the size of the ball that was used last year.
I don’t venture out on New Year’s Eve, the last thing I want to do is be on the road with a bunch of drunks and I’m just fine staying home and celebrating with a few close friends that stay the night and bring in the new year playing cards and drinking what ever comes in the house and into the fridge. Watching the festivities on TV is always a must in the background, and when the count down commences all eyes are on the famous Times Square Ball Dropping.
I haven’t seen any commercials with Dick Clark advertising the event, I wonder if he has retired from his long time post, of hosting this annual event for so many, many years. I’ll have to keep my ears and eyes open on that issue, I love Dick Clark and he has been through so much, with his health issues, but just kept on ticking, much like the Energizer Bunny, a good man, loved by so many.
I have to share the joke that one of my riding pals just sent in his latest email:
HER DIARY:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought h e was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.
Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, ‘Nothing.’ I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior. I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too.’ When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.
Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep -I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY:
My Harley wouldn’t start today, but at least I got laid
I know that there are a lot of women, like me, that enjoy the wonderful fashion show that Victoria’s Secret airs for us to view each year, and this year’s was really great. It always amazes me the way they have these beautiful young women adorned with their latest fashions andhow by them adding such brilliant theme pieces that really does the trick of fulfilling many a fantasies strutting down that runway.
A had a few friends over the other evening and we put the TV on the Fashion Show and a good time was had by all, too bad that I had to take a trip into the kitchen to refill some empty snack dishes and clean up the kitchen a bit, when the exotic butterfly creation walked down the runway. Having the ability to rewind and fast forward isn’t an option on the living TV, I do have a DVR in my room that has that wonderful feature, it would have come in handy that night. The hooting and whistling that went on while I was in the kitchen was pretty loud, maybe they will show this program again and I can see the entire program that way.
I am struggling with this year’s gift idea for my 12 year old niece that I am so close with. She is in the in between stage and it is getting late in the season and I’m starting to panic, just a touch. I’ve asked her mom for suggestions, that got me no where, and forget about asking her Dad, that, I’m sure would be a wasted breath, as he is pretty clueless to just about everything when it comes to his daughter. Long story, won’t go there this time around.
I am possibly just going to get her some gift certificates to the local movie theater and McDonald’s, that just might cover it!
I got a phone call today from a niece of mine who managed to find herself at the Mall with several of her friends this afternoon, but did not allow for thinking ahead and coordinate a ride back home when their shopping spree for new cell phones and CDs was over and done with.
If it was warmer weather I would have had her walk home, it is only a little over one mile back to her house, but it is really cold out today and I couldn’t do that to her today. It is however a 40 minute drive for me to come to her rescue and I didn’t plan on going out anywhere today, have my hands full of holiday tasks that need tending to around the house.
I am glad that she has someone to turn to in her time of need, being a young teen is a hard time in one’s life and I will do everything in my power to help her get through the next few years alive and kicking!
