Happy New Year!

It's now 2007. I don't feel any different. Maybe I'll feel older or different in another 7 weeks or so after my birthday. I actually had a really nice New Years Eve. I went to a low-key party at a friend's condo. I was pretty happy that the friend not only lived in the valley, but lives about 10 minutes from me. It turned out to be a few of us, drinking, chatting and just having a nice time. I was home by 2am. It was pretty cool. Most New Years Eves are uneventful and somewhat pathetic for me. I pretty much feel jipped, like I was promised more, even when I go to a party. Last year I had a little gathering at my place of a few girlfriends. It was okay, but felt lacking. This year I didn't feel that, somehow I feel like I finally had a complete New Years Eve.

I saw "The Queen". It was a spectacular movie. I really enjoyed it. I also rented "Lady in the Water", which I really liked too. It was a wonderful fairy-tale brought to life. It reminded me of the Neverending Story.

I finished "Zorro" by Isabel Allende yesterday. It was a really great book. It chronicled Zorro's childhood and how he became this famous masked legend in California. I liked learning about his parents and who they were and how he grew up. I highly recommend it! Today I'm going to embark upon reading "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick. I'll let you know how it goes.

So, my plant is dying. Is that supposed to signify something? I've re-potted him before and painted his pot and I water him regularly and he's been in the same spot for over 2 years doing just fine. But now he looks all wilted and pathetic. My boss has a green thumb, so I brought my plant into work today. He thinks we should re-pot him using soil with some miracle grow and vitamins in it. I hope it helps. Makes me sad that he's dying like that. It's so weird. I put him in a paperbag to bring in today and had to put another paper bag over him, so Grr wouldn't start munching on his leaves. She likes to eat plants.

Hoping 2007 brings laughter, love, new friendships, relaxation, fun, success and a bit more money.
