can't we just do 2001 again
I love reading the posts from those of you who had
nice quiet New Years Eves.
Maybe next year.
Didn't have a lot of options. Went to a friend's
house. He was hosting a little bash for all of our
high school students from church. I was in the mood
for something quiet, but I knew I would have fun.
I did.
Learned to play tri-bond. I rock.
Sweet little Karah and Rebecca played on my team.
THey weren't a lot of help. But it was fun being
their teammates.
Jordan met a girl while doing 'Oklahoma' and was
motivated to lose about 40 pounds. He's quite the
Italian stud now.
The boys who were playing some too-violent video game
downstairs made me promise not to pick up any
prostitutes in 2002.
There goes my plans.
I got home at a little after 1 am. As soon as I got
out of my car I could hear the loud Mexican music
coming from the apartment below. This has been an
ongoing battle. We've knocked on their door several
times. They've cooperated - until the next time.
Called the office several times. THey've passed on
warnings. They've told us they can't do anything else
until the cops are called and a report is filed. That
sucks.
So I'm thinking its New Years Eve. Let's tolerate it
for a bit. But a bit turned in to hours and the music
was loud. I left Matt's because I wanted to sleep.
Had things to do the next day. Finally at about 3:15
I went downstairs and banged on the door. The little
Mexican guy answered the door - wasted. He said the
music would stop. I thanked him. It didn't. It got
louder. Windows actually rattled. I was chipped off.
I kept talking myself out of calling the cops.
Figured they wouldn't come out on New Year's Eve over
loud music.
Finally at about 4:15-4:30 it stopped. By this time
the throwing up had already begun. Food poisoning? I
dunno. Could have been the Krispy Creme donuts, or
the sausage balls, or the chocolate fudge, or the
sparkling grape juice. Or just being upset.
Didn't sleep much. THen at 7:45 the music started
again and didn't stop until about 1:00. I slept for
about an hour and a half on the sofa, which gave me a
headache. Got up, took a shower, got dressed. Drove
to the other side of the city to exchange a Yankees
hat that was too small. Went to Wal-Mart, Target,
Meijers looking for the computer version of Tri-Bond.
Didn't find it. Came home and watched tv for a while.
Now, having only eaten a few snack crackers and some
toast and jam, I'm famished. THink I'll have some
applesauce.
Anyway. The first day of 2002 sucked royally.
Which makes me think it's gonna be a darned good year.
Hope it is so for all of you.
Happy New Years Ya'll (I do NOT have a southern
accent!)
