Why don't you go to Canada or to Tejas? You shouldn't be by yourself at Christmas.
I wish for you a new job or career direction in 2009. And home and hearth to be right where you are always.

well i have the little pups and kitty to look after....there isn't much time to go home to texas to make it worth my while when i have to work mon, tues, and wed for the following two weeks. i have to cover for the weeds that are gone in my dept. over the holidays. mind you, they stiffed me over my summer vacation so i am super pissed....it's like i didn't have a decent getaway all year long.
there is good news though tootie that i will share with everyone on 12/31 that has wonderfully happened today.....after i wrote my last post above here, something amazing and enlightening happened and has allowed me to have a huge weight of load lifted off my shoulders and now i feel like i have something to look forward to in 2009.
God has answered my prayers......
thank you tootie for wishing me well.....it may have contributed to this wonderful news that i have got.......

I can't wait to hear your news Mr. Happy! I'll be waiting on new year's day for it!
:dddd:

I wish for clear skies and mild weather....

You get clear skies and mild weather but get lost on the way.
I wish for prosperity!

You are wealthy and prosperous but all the toes you stepped on getting there are busily plotting their revenge!
I wish I could write a best-seller!

You write that best seller but it is an expose on your family and you are disowned and disinherited!
I wish I could play guitar in a band.

You are now lead guitarist for The Cure!
But Robert Smith just called it quits! :(
I wish I could selectively read minds...

You read minds, but find out your dog really doesn't like you.

I wish I could exercise more.

Ploopfh, you are exercising 2 hours a day but eating n additional 2000 calories!
I wish I had straight hair.
