Welcome to 2007!
Come in, come in!
You'll need to leave a few things at the door - another year of your life, a couple of people you knew and several pounds of fat.
Feel free to wander about and mingle. You'll find several new people to meet and even some you used to know but had forgotten about.
Around the room are various experiences - some are delightful while others are tragic. Unfortunately you're only going to find out which is which after they've introduced themselves.
On the far side is the door to 2008. If you make it then I'll have a certificate waiting for you that says you'll be a wiser person.
Here, have a bit of cheese and pineapple on a cocktail stick...
Happy New Year Kim, too sore to waffle on, but anyway, you know, the sentiment is there.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2007 to you, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the appetizers to kick off the year. Cheers to all the courses that will take us to 2008, and to reading and writing about what matters along the way.
Best, The Gal
Happy New Years. I hope it's a good'un. I don't suppose there's any leftover ham to go with that cheese and pineapple?
ReplyDeleteFMC - Thank you. Same to you, and I recommend ibuprofen with about 3 pints of water...
ReplyDeleteRG - thank you :)
FLG - 'fraid not, but there's plenty of cold turkey :)
Happy New Year to you Kim
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and encouragement throughout 2006. Let's hope 2007 brings good things for all of us!
cheers

"Here, have a bit of cheese and pineapple on a cocktail stick..."
ReplyDeletemmm! Thank you, I like cheese and pineapple :-) It's an underestimated party snack IMO.
Happy New Year!
Good one Kim. A good start to the year.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Cheese and pineapple on a stick is much underrated.
ReplyDeleteClassic British cuisine.
I might stay on.
Happy New Year, Kim. Many thanks for your friendship and for inducting me into the Blog Universe.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated New Year, mate!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I am back from vacation and working my way around saying, "Hi!"
