Happy 2008!

Jim was the only person at our house who was awake for the arrival of 2008. The rest of us were sensible, asleep in our beds. I missed it by only half an hour, as I had somehow stayed awake for the PBS show on Carol Burnett. It was funny...

Today we "celebrated" by having lunch at Panda Express. "Chinese for lunch, Chinese for lunch!" was Jamie's song as we left Lowe's parking lot. He happily ate up my Mandarin chicken, after he decided that he really does not like orange chicken after all. We are all stuffed. Mmmm.

The fortune cookies seemed to be written with New Year's day in mind. (Perhaps they always sound that way? "Somewhere in your future lies...") Here they are:
Jim:

Many pleasurable and memorable adventures are in store for you.

Laura:

There will be plenty of time to work hard; enjoy yourself!

Dot:

Every person is the architect of his own fortune.

Jamie:

An exciting opportunity lies ahead if you are not timid.

(By the way, the lucky numbers for Jim and me were the same!)
