Happy New Year...

This post is mainly to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. I hope that the year brings good tidings to you all.

On a more somber note, rest in peace President Ford. He was a good man and although he was not elected to be Vice President or President, he did both jobs with grace and dignity. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. I have been watching the events throughout the day on MSNBC and Fox News. I know, I could have been doing more on a Saturday but when it comes to politics I tend to pay attention...well most of the time that is.

On a more happy note, I have a Chanukah gift from my parents! They had no idea what to get me because I could not think of anything for them to get me. So they just didn't get me anything for Chanukah...until today that is. They bought me a new pair of shoes. I actually did need a pair since the shoes I normally wear are for some odd reason (I've had them for about 3 months) falling apart. Well the left one is anyway. So yeah...we went to the mall today and went into Journey's (my brother's idea) and my dad bought me a pair of Doc Martin's. Nice shoes. And they last forever. I still have a pair from when I was in 7th grade! I'm serious!

I also gave myself a little (late) Chanukah gift: a haircut, LOL. See my profile picture to see what it looks like. Hope you like it! :-)

Oh and my brother gave me quite the gift: a camera. It's used, he got it last year but since he no longer uses it (he's got a much better one now for taking professional pictures and whatnot) he gave it to me. There's only one problem: he didn't bring the software you need to install on your computer! He said that he got rid of it since he didn't need to use it on his computer. Well GRRR to him for that! And the manual he gave me is in Spanish! Yeesh. Well luckily I found what I needed on eBay and purchased it. It'll hopefully arrive within the next couple of weeks. So I forgive my brother for being a doofus. After all, it's nearly the new year and we all have clean slates. :-)

All right since this is getting long (and probably boring), I would just like to wish you once more a happy, healthy New Year. Stay safe!
