For those of you who have said you don't believe in resolutions, I'd just like to point out I tried very carefully to title this thread with you in mind, as well as those who do set goals of some sort....that's why I called them *hopes*...**BG**

With that in mind: now that we've actually made a move in that direction, I hope to get the hell outta *Dodge* this year and to also see some of you, along with the usual drop more weight (not on my toes, I hate fat toes *grin*;) write more; etc.

Alice, I can relate to what you are saying about diverse interests and focussing. I've had that same problem, esp. in the past two years.

Our New Year's Eve will be, I am sure, quiet except when Rue comes in from celebrating with her friends. At least I don't think anyone in our new neighbourhood will be as stupid as those last year in the old one who shot off their gun at midnight.
