AT LAST

2006 IS OVER!

As I told those friends that called me yesterday, “I do not dare eat anything this evening until after midnight. With my luck during this year, I will probably get the one poisoned piece of ham if I eat before the end of 2006″.

I didn’t get food poisoning, so I guess my precaussions were worth it. Even if they were in vain.

My cousin taught me a New Year’s ritual last night (or should I say early this morning). Since it still is the first day of the year, maybe some of you may try it and see if it works:

Get twelve grapes, one for each month of the year. As you eat each, make a wish. The first for January, the second for February, the third for March, and so on until you get to December.

I recommend not too eat too much before you do this because it’s kind of tiresome. Although, if you get grapes without seeds it may be faster, but, where’s the fun in that?

As for me, eleven of those grapes were spent on wishing for a single, rich, straight man that will love me. I later thought to myself, “shit, I should have said that it be someone that I loved back. If this is for real I may get an unwelcome suitor.” *shudders* Then, my cousin was so kind to point out, “well, you should have asked for it to be the same
man as well, now you may get eleven different single, rich, straight men who love you.” Not really something I had thought about, but, could that be so bad? ;P

Anyway, the point of that anecdote; be specific and careful with your wishes…One never knows if this grape thing is true or not, but just in case…

I hope all of you had a great New Year’s Eve and that the year 2007 brings you many happy moments, health, prosperity and love.

May all of you that read this achieve everything that you set your mind to do.

Lots of love,
