It is New Years Eve and I am going to be out running errands most of the day today so I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and SAFE New Year.
If you are going to be out tonight and drinking, please do yourself and everyone else a favor and do not drive. There are taxi services all over the country that arrange to take people home tonight free of charge, use them. Do not trust that your friend "isn't drunk" or is "okay to drive" or even "I drive like this all the time." It's still stupid. And even if you are "okay to drive" it is still illegal and you could go to jail if caught. Also keep in mind that there are going to be 100s of other people out tonight that think they are "okay to drive." Use a designated driver if you can and I salute those that have the will power to not drink tonight. I never have, and that is why I do not go out to party on New Years Eve. I know my limits.
Tonight when the clock strikes 12 and we say goodbye to what has been an interesting year to say the least, I will be at home bringing in the New Year like we spent much of the old year, at home, with my family. My oldest is going to a party, and while she is 17, she has been banned from driving or even riding with her friends tonight. We'll be sober, so we'll pick her up and do our best to keep her safe from all the morons out there.
So to all of you out there (the 3 people that read my blog hahaha) Happy New Year! I pray that it is a safe and prosperous 2009 for all of you. I'll check in sometime in the next day or two with my reflections on 2008 and goals for 2009.
Toodles.
