Ever hear of that tradition that what you do on New Year's is how you'll spend the rest of the year?

1. Shoveling the driveway?
That could be interesting since I'm moving to a 4th floor walk-up in NYC. I wonder whose driveway I'll be shoveling?

6. I stepped in a pool of cat vomit
It was 2:32 a.m. and Salem wanted to be let out of the bedroom. As I stumbled toward the door to let her out, I put my bare foot right in a puddle of fresh cat puke.

What a way to start the new year. If this is what I'll be doing in 2009, I think I'd like to hibernate until 2010.

:cry:

9. Grandma said something slightly different
She always said that the image you project for the night is how you'll be perceived for the new year, and that's why people dress up. It's kind of a manifestation thing--if you look and act rich on New Year's Eve, you'll be blessed with riches in the new year.

Grandma was a strega from Sicily, so I take what she said seriously.

Day-um, Tater, I hope that doesn't mean you're going to be a chauffeur in '09! Doesn't quite seem your thang!

10. Uh oh.
I was in my PJs enjoying my cold, watching movies on Netflix. Perhaps this will be the year I can wear my PJs at the office? :D

14. Impossible. Hockey season ends eventually, so I can't watch it all year.
Which really pisses me off, by the way! :)
