Fabulous FRiday FAVORITES
Tell us about your favorite New Years Tradition(s). ![](http://images60.fotki.com/v778/photos/2/292835/1969092/mistletoe-vi.gif) KISSING The purpose of kissing a loved one at midnight is to bring good luck to the relationship for the next year.

![](http://images15.fotki.com/v792/photos/2/292835/4229934/bingeeating-vi.jpg) EATING Pork is a lucky food for New Years day because pigs root forward when they eat.
Southerners believe eating black-eyed peas on New Years Day brings fortune, while others believe lentil soup is lucky.

Happy FRiday!
Now I have to ask...was that condition (how you rang in NY) due to a) sleeping, or b) being inebriated? LOL
My goodness, what ever are you going to do after the games are over? hehe
I will play the dutiful wife this weekend and watch the playoffs with hubby.
Hope your FRiday is fabulous and funky!

It fell heavier west and south of us...in the Davis Mountains and Big Bend area mostly. We have a dusting.
The moisture is VERY welcome! Stay warm! :)

Hope he is getting better. My cousin had laryngitis during the Christmas holidays and had to miss family visits and church. She is just now getting better.

You are right, but perhaps the spitting image in 20 years, if I last that long.

Based on that,...I may make it 20+.
The new company getting any smaller (more lay offs)?
