in 13 days we will be celebrating a very big day!!!

:married:

Thinking of going to Folly Beach for my birthday.

....or Cedar Island to watch the wild horses.

I'm starting a fire and I read the headline on the newspaper and I thought it said, "New Uses For Old People", I was thinking WHAT? I read it again and it said POOL not PEOPLE.

Hoping I can keep my hands to myself! I just wanna umm nevermind!!!

LOL

Food
 

Food for the new year is on my mind...

I always start the new year with black-eyed peas (for good luck) and greens (for mo’ money).

Sometimes I’ll add chit’lin’s to the menu, but not this year. I don’t clean them well (have been told I clean them too much—as if a chit’lin can be too clean) and I waited too late to have some shipped. So, I’m skipping the chits this year.

Instead I’ll add fried green tomatoes, but can only find heirloom green tomatoes and don’t know much about them. Heirlooms can ripen without changing colors. Even though these are firm, they could still be ripe, sweet, and green. Whatever the case, that’s what is on the menu.

Fried green tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and collards. Should be good and most certainly could be worse.

:poc-cool:

About 2019, and what it has in store for me. I hope I make some new friends.

in about 72 hours, I will marry my best friend. :rrose:

Congrats!!!

Happy new year, all!!

I was a good boy but she was a bad girl!!!!

decluttering by tossing out some Christmas decorations we haven't put up in years!

If it doesn't get done while we're putting away this year's decorations, it'll be another whole year...:|

We’re doing the same thing this year, well, not with decorations, but just with stuff in general. We got rid of SO many boxes of stuff so far.

I really want to take a long hot bath but I'm unable to do so!

How much I am looking forward to this coming weekend. :reader:

huh ! that's why I never had a diary ? I thought it wasn't fashionable ~ :|

That not everything in Life is meant to be easy. Sometimes the struggle makes you come to understand that you should never take anything for granted. I realized today that I am at peace with the struggles I have had (and any that may come in the future) because there is nothing nor no one that I take for granted. It makes Me feel that My Life is that much richer in a non-monetary way which is the greatest richness of all.
