Hello 2008!

Our last day of 2007 was spent eating Mountain Mike's pizza, and watching an array of rented movies on the T.V.  I didn't hear from my two older kids at 9 pm like I was hoping, so I decided to call them at 9:15 on the east coast-12:15 their time to wish them a happy new year.  They sounded quite happy, but they were dying to go home and go to sleep.  From all the loud people and music in the background you can tell there were many "happy" people out there in New Jersey...  Festa hard, Dawn, Teresa & Mary!! 

We saw a little bit of Dick Clark on the tube, but Rich and I found it too hard to watch poor Dick Clark speak.  Poor guy...  It's enough to break your heart.  At least he is looking alright, but his voice--poor man.  Watching him made me feel so incredibly old, and the singers that came on were probably not even born when I started watching American Bandstand..probably don't even know what that was.. Oh well.  I heard the fireworks go off for what seemed to be hours outside.  Happy New Years...  We went to bed like too old people!  

I'm here at work, and I have my new calendar up.  Time to pull out the old bench warrant criminal files of 2007 to make room for the new criminals of 2008!  Whoohooo!  Exciting stuff I tell you!  Our receptionist is here, and she is all bundled up in scarves and her purple coat.  When I was in her area last a few minutes ago she was complaining to the boss man about a very rude client who had called previously...blah blah blah..  Boss man was in here looking for the boss lady, but no one knows where she is.  After she left, the sensory light in her office went on for some odd reason.  This gave me the creeps.  I swear, there must be a ghost or something in this builidng.  A new employee and I were talking about the weird door jams we both were experiencing, and he said something about checking to see if anyone died in the building---he was very serious about it, I may add.  This is a really old building--who knows. 

Hubby and I were jokingly talking about GPS systems that people use to monitor kids--their comings and goings...specifically for teenagers.  I won't get into why were talking about this, but apparently there IS something where you can put a micro chip in a car and monitor where itactually goes...  Have any of you heard such a thing?  I know it can be frowned about as an invasion of privacy, but where do you draw the line?  Does a child who openly lies about their comings and goings deserve privacy? 

Well, I checked in with my two kids in New Jersey, and they spent New Years day in Atlantic City.  Today they are doing sight seeing of New York.  I asked my son if it was cold, and  he said, "not really" but he is not wearing shorts.  I packed him 5 pairs of jeans and sweat pants and only one pair of shorts-just in case it gets warm for any odd reason.  I hope they are taking a lot of pictures...  I told them to call me when they got to the Statue of Liberty--no calls yet.   They'll be home on Friday night.  I hope they are enjoying some quality time with their dad, and that they get spoiled by their attention as much as possible by Friday.  Lizzy thinks her father belongs to the Portuguese mafia because of the fancy car he drives.  All I think of when I hear about NJ is The Sopranos.. 

 

Tony's uncle, the old man in the hat and glasses looks just like my deceased ex-father-in-law.  There is also an old man who catches the bus in front of this ghetto building that looks a lot like him too.  My friend Sharon, the medium who used to do readings in the building said she "saw" him and told me he was pushing money in the direction of my two older kids.  Interesting, huh?  Yeah, this reading was done in the boss lady's office right next to mine.  No wonder the lights keep flashing on and off!
