What's A Girl To Do???

When the clock strikes twelve on December 31st, people all over the world cheer and wish each other a very Happy New Year. For some, this event is no more than a change of a calendar. For others, the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. So, if you look forward to a good year ahead, spread happiness with these wonderful New Year wishes.

What better way is there to spread happiness than with your bloggy friends? Especially when Doughboy has taken ill and slumbers in bed. {sigh} So, I logged onto my computer and cruised the blogroll for any recent activity. Oh joy! Country Girl Kate had posted 58 minutes ago. She posted a lovely flower photo and told of the mimosa she was presently sipping. Yummm...I LOVE mimosas. And they're good for you with all the orange juice and vitamins, right? Remembering a stash of mini champagne bottles in the pool house, I braved the frigid elements to test my memory. Viola!


Imagine my pleasure when I found not just one miniature bottle, but a selection of three from which to choose!


I thought it prudent to prove the miniature size of the bottles lest you think I'm a lush. I wish I had the foresight to wash the dust from the glass BEFORE posting on my blog.


Which brand should I choose? Relying on the only scientific method I know, I selected the one whose name I couldn't pronounce.


Ummmm...this is delicious! Excuse me while I have a moment....

Okay, I'm back.

I raise my glass in an old Irish toast to all my family, friends, and bloggy friends...

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

Oh, yay! This is great. See? We are simultaneously sipping mimosa's together. I've even got one of these brands, although in a big bottle.
Cheers! And these look lovely on your blog.

Why didn't I think of mimosas? Is it too late to have a mimosa?
And who cares if it was an entire bottle...we won't tell!

Doughboy sick? It's the holiday hack. I was sick during Christmas with the nastiest cold and cough. Hope he feels better soon!

I'm just sitting here with a big smile on my face from reading your recent posts! Love the champagne pics, love the wolves, love the bookcases and ...the Christmas bottoms...too funny - sorry he is sick. I have a nasty little cold myself - Chicago in the winter - what was I thinking! Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that doughboy is not feeling well. Poor Baby! This does not sound good for back to work and the cold. Maybe a good old Scrap Club meeting will cheer him up. See ya soon!
