I can’t believe I forgot to post yesterday! All I can say is I got distracted trying to figure out what was on my spiffy new satellite channels for the upcoming week. I decided to upgrade to the next package on Friday. It was like Christmas all over again! 
Anyway. Happy New Year’s Eve! Something else I can’t believe is it’s being almost 2007! Where does the time go?!
From Astrology for Writers, Editors & Filmmakers:
- 2007 is the year of the Pig. Pigs are lucky and love power. 2007 will be a year of the charming and fortunate power hungry-ites and their rise to the top and conversely, their tumbling from favor. Whomever is on top as of Jan. 1 ‘07 is subject to being persona non-grata before the year is out. Another way of saying it: Those who are new to fame and fortune in 2007 may not have it for long.
That sounds rather ominous. Not sure I care for that outlook at all! I wonder what the other sites have to say about the new year?
Here’s a fun meme (the ones I’ve done are in bold italics):
- 1. Used real snow to make/eat a snow cone (Well, not a snow cone exactly. We used to make snow cream.

Tomorrow I have to get back into the writing groove. 
is on at 1:00am tomorrow on the Fox Movie Channel which I’m getting free on satellite right now. So, I’ll definitely be recording that. Weather permitting….
Right now I’m trying to clear the decks and get organized (which is a monumental task).
