Quirky & Snowy

Happy New Year almost! Vic & I will be spending the evening at her mom's house. They say that what you do on New Year's Eve indicates how you'll spend the rest of the year. I'm not sure I really believe that, though, because if it were true we would have a heck of a lot more drunk people walking the streets all year long, dontcha think? Vic is actually at her mom's right now and I'm supposed to join them around 9ish tonight. Maybe. We've got a snowstorm headed our way in a few hours. If I'm not able to leave before the deluge begins, I may be snowbound at home with Shannon and the kitties. Not such a bad thing, actually, but I'd really like to spend the last night of 2007 with Vic. Also, I'm sure she'd be pissed and I don't want to spend the rest of 2008 with her pissy.

While bored at work today, I got to thinking about some of my quirkier, but oh-so-lovable traits and I thought I would take a moment to reflect on them with all of you:

1. I can't change the month on the calendar until it's actually that month. For example, when I leave tonight it will still be December, but I can't put up the new calendar yet, even though it will be January when I return.
2. When I cut the grass, I always cut the front grass first.
3. I always make peeing the last thing I do before I leave the house for an extended period of time. Even if it's just to sit outside and read for 30 mins.
4. Multiple books by the same author have to arranged by publication date on my bookshelf, not alphabetically.
5. I always use a Detroit Tigers huggy for my can of pop (yes, I said POP) and the front of the huggy always has to face me.

- You can't have the toe seam on your sock twisted even a LITTLE bit.

- Nobody in your general proximity can have a twisted toe seem either. (I've personally had mine adjusted by you.)

- None of your food can touch on the plate.

- Tomatoes gross you out...unless said tomatoes are in salsa.

- Two words. Sock drawer.

Happy New Year!

Funny, I've read in a couple of blogs tonight that it's how you spend New Year's DAY that will foretell the rest of the year. I hope to be creating art tomorrow. Tonight I am drinking wine and eating King Crab, so I hope gluttony is not in my future for the entire year!

I changed both my wall calendar and my desk calendar at work today before I left!!! I want a fresh start on Wednesday.

Hope you get to Vic's mom.

Hugs,

Julie
