Happy New Year, Happy New Decade

What can I say ? THE GIRLS know me. It appears I have a pattern. Every year I make a declaration about "sitting down somewhere, coasting this thang on in". Specifically, I always say I am not doing anything for New Years Eve, and every year I send out options for THE GIRLS. The options range from church, to house parties to parties at other venues so we can dance until the weeeee hours of the morning. I received a BBM from PUT TOGETHER GIRL asking if I had changed my stance on not doing anything for NYE. I quickly responded, "Yes, everyone was wandering around as if they could not plan anything. I hate to see that, so I stepped in, we have options now."

Some of us will party to no end. Some of us will be boo'd up. Some of us will be at home with our family. However, all of us will be together in each other's hopes and prayers for a prosperous New Year and New Decade.

Once I realized the first 10th of the 2000's is over, I started to think back on everything that has happened in the past 10 years. Here are a few:

a. I graduated from college and law school.
b. I am the proud auntie and honorary auntie of 3 nieces and 6 nephews.
c. I saw 3 of my best friends get married.
d. Aaliyah, Luther Vandross and Michael Jackson passed away. One of my best friends
and my grandmother passed away as well.
e. I purchased my first home.
f. I have been un/underemployed for about half of the 2000's. HA !!!
g. I fell in love and also renewed my desire to love again.
h. I dated more football players than the law should allow !! Ahaha Lawdy Be :)
i. THE GIRLS and I traveled...yes honey, we traveled !!!
j. I met some of the MOST AMAZING women in the world and also maintained friendships
that have spanned over 20 years.

As we all look forward to the newness of the times, one thing I know will never change and that is my love for MY GIRLS and their love for me !!

Cheers to many blessings in the future, more babies, promotions, marriages, travel, wealth, fun, laughter and love.

SALUD !
