I remember it well...

The first time that I saw
your head around the door
'cause mine stopped working.

Happy New Year's Eve!!! I spent this evening ringing in the New Year with several of my girlfriends from high school. I toasted in the New Year with a glass of Olive Garden's house wine-- blush; it was a superb choice! Our dining experienced was excellent for several reasons: breadsticks that keep coming, great wine, terrific entrees, old friends, incredible conversation, laughing so hard you (and by "you" I mean Emily) snort-- "legit", and an attractive waiter. Now, I am not in elementary school, but when someone triple dog dares me to do something, I am going to do it (99% of the time). I am not sure how it happened, maybe it was the wine, but I was dared to leave this message on my receipt: I "heart" you to the max!, and then my name and phone number. You can see why I would be hesitant to fulfill this dare, but nonetheless, I did it. We decided that instead of beginning the New Year with resolutions, I should begin it with a regret. But, it was a moment of immaturity, so it was fun. I don't regret the dare. Kevin T.-- Olive Garden waiter, I "heart" you to the max!

Anyway, I leave tomorrow afternoon for Colorado. I am almost packed. I didn't realize how long I am going to be gone-- the 1st through late on the 7th or early on the 8th. School starts for me two days later, so that should be interesting. Well, I have to finish packing and then meet back up with the girls. Take care and enjoy your last week of Christmas vacation. I hope that all of you have a wonderful New Year's! Count down the last ten seconds of 2004 and kiss someone you love!
