Last Post of 2007

And last entry on this blog. I gave some thought to a new blog and abandoned the idea, as nothing creative came to me, and the last time I started a new blog (this one) things didn't turn out as planned and in fact got quite bizarro. Call me superstitious, but I don't think I'll tempt the Universe to send me any new growth experiences by trying to be clever. So I've been doing a little redecorating back on the old blog, and as of tomorrow the Bossy Little Dog and I will ride off into 2008, and God Only Knows What Adventures. Please adjust your links accordingly, all 3 of you.

I'll leave this blog here, and a trail of empty champagne bottles back to the former/future address.

I am glad to see the back of 2007. I am glad to be here to see the back of 2007. 2008 is not going to be easy either, but at least it will be a fresh adventure - new work situation, moving (somewhere as yet undetermined) etc. Today Girlchild returned her father's old Sentra, which will sit until Boy can come fetch it - I will probably take it for a drive now and then, just so it gets a little exercise, but I haven't driven a stick in years so I'll have to take it around the block a couple of times until it comes back to me. I drove a stick for decades it's not like it won't come back. Girl loves her new car. When I drove her and load of her stuff back to her house it was in the carport looking all shiny and pretty, and damn, it is a cute car. It was raining, so no pictures. My heart belongs to Baby, though - I need Baby. Baby is a hard working girl, and 2008 is going to be a hard working year.

The animals got me up at 5:15 this morning, so I do not plan to make it til midnight. I'll open the champagne around 9, and toast the end of a really, really weird year, and contemplate goals for 2008. There are many.

Happy New Year.

There are more than 3, but fewer than thousands. I'd love to have thousands and blog for a living, but I have no idea what to blog about, so that plan is not going to get off the launch pad.

I'm updating my bookmarks. I never really thought Champagne and Chocolate suited you. You strike me as the type who would really prefer a cold beer and good burger. Bossy Little Dog...that suits you. Here's to a stellar '08. You deserve it.

Champagne and Chocolates was meant to be frivolous and fun, a fresh start, the year it documented was anything but. I am definitely a beer and burger or wings person, and my bossy little dog has been with me throughout all of the changes. This is an archive of one scary weird year, I will not delete it, but I am going back to me and my small dustmop of a dog, moving on.

So now you're going to get me to update my sidebar, eh? It really needs it.

Here's to a happy, healthy New Year filled with good things!

2007 has blown chunks and it's being hateful to the last. My stitch n' bitch group had planned a little Mexican potluck and some movies & knitting for tonight, but it's been snowing all afternoon so we had to cancel. I'll be following you back to the bossy little dog house---let's hope 2008 is a better year all the way around.

Happy New Year. You've earned it.

Definitely following you back to the Bossy Little Dog space. It fits you and your whole tone - you are one of my very favorite bloggers. Your smarts, your bravery, your outspokeness, your sharp wit - the dog really is the icon of how I view you and your blog. See ya there!

Hi - I find it funny that you say in this last post of 2007 that you do not what to right and you have lost your creativity to continue a blog. I think that if you look at your domain name which includes the word Champagne and Chocolates that I am sure you can find something to blog about and even make lots of money.

Good Luck!
