Happy New Year! Tonight I will stay up late and then sleep in! I have a four day weekend off from work, too, which is nice! :razz:

Hey, Flyinmike, it's neat to see you're from Fort Worth. My mom's from Saginaw. I've visited there and Fort Worth several times and it's nice to see a change from Alaska! :D

Happy New year, folks and fishes! El año dos mil y cuatro! Zweitausendundvier! Tweeduizendenvier! Totusenogfire! Tvåtusenochfyra! Twothousandandfour! Dois mil e quatro!

Let us hope for a good year! Remember to live not only for your goal of the future, but also for the path to get there; the path you are walking today!

For me, the year started with a parking fine, but the hangover wasnt bad, so I'm after all happy!

Best Fishes!

Well, I stayed up until 4 o´clock after watching a lot of fireworks (We´re quite fond of fireworks in Denmark - unfortunately three people got killed this year due to heavy fireworks), jumping into the new year from a couch, wearing my "beautiful" new year hat and throwing coins at each other.
Happy New Year! Godt Nytår! :lol:

You jump into the new year from a couch?! That's awesome! *L*

On January 1 my mom and I ate ham with black-eyed peas and collard greens to have a lucky new year! She told me it's something she used to always do in Texas. :D

Yep. . We jump. If you don´t jump into the new year, you´ll be stuck in the old. . that´s the Danes.

Goodness! So can you jump just anywhere or does it have to be from a couch? This is the neatest new year's thing I've heard yet!

a new year emerging...

Well. . it´s almost always from some sort of furniture. . But I´ve jumped from a car one year, when I wasen´t near a couch. The trick is to not jump from something too high. . You might fall, as Danes - just like Norwegians - drink a lot at New Years.
It´s never too late to jump into the new year. . think of all the years you´re stuck in. . :lol:

Well! I have 21 new years to jump into, so when I get off work I will go home and start jumping! I have a friend coming over for dinner tonight, so I better finish my jumping off the couch before then, otherwise she'll get weirded out and not eat with me. :D

I will definitely freak out my cat, the rats will regard me with interest, and the fish in the living room will not be happy from the floor being thumped. :wink:

definitely sounds texan, hehe. I can remember a few times when New Year's or just about any holiday involved beans, usually black eye peas, ham, and cornbread, lol.

I had an ok New Year's, I missed the countdown cause I got lost looking for my friend's house, go to the party, was kinda slow and several people were already passed out, lol.

the next day was cool though, I got my 55 gallon fish tank ;)

Mmmm...my mom makes the best cornbread! She uses white cornmeal instead of yellow. I love it! She also makes the best biscuits, but we call them "biskies."

Ooooh, that is so neat you got your 55 gallon tank! I am so jealous! Someday, when I am in a bigger place, I will have a large tank filled with catfish! :D
