So Christmas is over and now the New Year is fast upon us.  I have never been one to do the whole ‘Resolutions’ things but there are a few things that I do feel warrant some editing (if you will) about the way my life is going.  So I guess they are resolutions after all.  I desire the following OUTCOMES as a result of better self-management in 2007:

 Þ    Closer communion with GOD

Þ    Better understanding of myself and why I handle things the way I do

Þ    Stronger ties to my family

Þ    Increased self-awareness

Þ    Ability to be open with others on more that a superficial level

Þ    Trust of my instincts and intuitions

Þ    Time spent enjoying the little things

 Okay back to the holiday weekend.  It was tiring, it was draining, and it was absolutely GREAT!!!  Dinner started off aggravating but it was cool.  I had a great time with the family and got to meet a new friend of my brother’s.  One of the waiters decided he wanted to flirt with me, it was so funny cause he was just so boring about it.  It also was funny because my brother was sitting there looking all big brother-ish (he’s younger, actually) during the whole interchange.  I promise it looked like he grew about two more inches.  Ha, Ha.  Imagine that a 21-year old being overprotective of a 27-year old, it was too cute.

 My birthday started off great.  I had dance practice which as always went smoothly.  Praise team practice hmm.  Then I was done.  The friend I mentioned coming up, will call him KS did in fact come to see me.  It was so sweet he drove about four hours just to come see me.  He was so tired by the time he got there that I ended up being the one to drive us around.  I took him by my grandmother’s so that he could me my mom and then we went out to Ruby Tuesday’s.  Let me tell you, there was a group of teenagers (probably ranging from 16 to 19) that was celebrating someone’s birthday.  And you know how girls get when they see a nice male specimen.  It was all this chatter and then all of a sudden no conversation as the waiter seated us.  It was so funny.  I mean you went from five to six different voices talking over one another to complete silence.  Anyway we got a kick out of it.  But the thing I want to discuss was an incident that happened while we were at dinner.  Now I had just got through telling him how “cute’ this older couple was that was sitting behind him.  A very nicely dressed man and his lady friend; they were obviously on a date.  They were flirting, he was telling her theses little stories or limericks and she was laughing.  He was holding her hand and looking deep into her eyes.  I mean to me it was so romantic.  I mentioned it and KS turned and looked for himself; which started a conversation how that is how love is supposed to be.  That flirting and touching helps the relationship.  Well the lady excused herself to go to the bathroom.  When I look up from my food the man is winking at me.  I told KS and then I immediately felt bad.  So I was like maybe I just imagined it like maybe something was wrong with his eye like twitching or something.  How bout… NO.  He stopped when KS turned around the nstart back and kept winking and then licked his lips at me. And when we were leaving I turned around and he had turned and was looking at me  I couldn’t believe it.  Guess there are older flirts just like the young ones.  *LOL

 But never mind… the night was great. We went back to my grandmothers other house and sat up and talked the whole night almost.  Until the conversation just died away and he dozed off to sleep.  I knew he had to leave early so I let him sleep.  I ended up sleeping for bout thirty minutes to an hour myself then he had to get up to leave.  It was so sweet.  LOL I said that a bunch didn’t I?  Well it was.  Oh and guess what he got me a pocketbook for my birthday.  After my whole heart I tell ya.

 I won’t write again until after so Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
