Peace, '06! It's Been Real
Not really, but it was the least cheesy New Year's Eve picture I could find. I swear I've left my relationship - or lack thereof, LOL - baggage in 2006. This is one of the few times when the picture is just that: a picture.
So for the second year in a row, Heather's been my New Year's Eve date. And I think I'm beginning to like it...not in a lesbian sort of way, but in a-- ah, why bother, the men's collective minds have already gone down that path anyway. LOL. I was joking the other day to a friend of mine that if Heather ever gets married, her hubby's gonna have to loan her to me for New Year's Eve and vice versa. I'm serious too.
So we (and a third girlfriend) got fabulously dolled up, and went to dinner in the city. We rang in the new year gorging ourselves on a 12-course tapas menu and washing it down with 2 pitchers of sangria and a glass of champagne. I hope that wasn't an indication of my eating habits for the rest of the year. Eek! It was a great evening; contrary to what most men would think we didn't spend it male bashing either.
It was good to be around single, successful, beautiful, positive and intelligent black women at the start of the new year, who were just ok with enjoying each other's company. God knows I couldn't spend New Year's Eve with some of the other women I know or hear about - y'know the type who's only interested in spending New Year's Eve with you, because she doesn't have a male option; or the type who just wants to commiserate on why she can't find a man; or the type who's bitter about 2006 shit, and is intent on bringing it into 2007. Boy am I glad that the women I know who're like that all had other plans! LOL.
So if my New Year's Eve was any indication of what's in store this year, I guess I can look forward to a year of optimism, great conversation and honesty. And at the end of the evening when one of my girlfriends asked, "Where do you want to be on December 31, 2007?", I didn't have to hesitate when I responded, "I just want to be happy."
(Shouts to ET for the blog entry title...See, I do read your myspace page! LOL)
What did you do on New Year's Eve?
Sorry, I've been backed up on answering email questions, but I'm back to my regular schedule now, so send your questions! (KK, you're up next)

Why does everyone feel the need to put the "non lesbian" and "non gay" disclaimers on comments now? (I've seen it other places too) Women hung out with each other forever and nobody thought that way. Women hugged up on each other and nobody thought they were anything more than friends. Is that the new thought pattern?
Anyhow, 007 should be all about you. Life is too short to worry about everybody else. Thats my plan for 007. Not to be selfish, but worry less about what anyone else is thinking. Matter of fact, think less too. Thinking has prevented me from just doing.
I love the optimism!
@ Mr. A: it really was a joke...I know no one will think I'm gay - plus I really wouldn't care if they did anyway. LOL. Either your sense of humor is broken for the new year or it was a bad joke. LOL.
Hey Des! Happy New Year, lady...
Happy New Year to you SE!! All the best this coming year - as I'm sure it will be.
Well I spent New Year folding laundry and sipping Mauby lol and watching TV. My son was away in Virginia for the Bow Wow Concert and the single female that I am wanted to spend it inside, alone - though I had the option to get all dollsed up and go out...I just wanted to spend it with the person that loves me the most. ME. Now would that be considered as being lesbian as well LOL
Again, all the best to you lady.
Lol, I read your comment about if Heather got married and remember that I used to joke with my girlfriend who's such a fabulous cook that as soon as they legalize same sex union in Ja, I'll marry her. Just to have her cooking near at hand.
I rang in the NY with two girlfriends at a nice little resort and had a whale of a time lounging by the beach, stuffing myself, and catching up on each other's lives. Great fun.
Happy New Year to you.
more love...more life for the new year SE. Your are not gay?..just when I thought we had something in common..women!..drats.
Brought in the new year with my short man (ROFL)..him with a glass of apple cider (which he didnt care for) and me with a bottle of moet. Wanted to get out & about but realized I Would rather spend it with my son. Come to find out he would have rather spent it at his lill fat friends house for a sleepover (broke my heart..LOL)
For 2007..all I Want is Balance....in my life & my bankbook!
SimpleE, I know... just wanted to comment on the fact plenty of people are using the same "joke" as of late. I don't think some of them are jokin.
All about positive vibes! Glad you had a lovely evening...enjoy the rest of the year!
