Snappy, give them until 12:05 and then take a swig of the codeine stuff and turn off that phone! Happy New Year! I’ll make sure Miss J. lets me give her a hug, and one across Brooklyn to you too!
Snappy, I am taking the wine out of the fridge to drink a toast to Papa Snappy! Here’s hoping for a much better 2011–so many people I know (myself included for various reasons) had a really shitty year for all kinds of reasons.
Got to admit it’s getting better,
It’s getting better all the time
(can’t get no worse!)
A moment of personal reflection (and yes, I’m high on cough syrup…leave me alone!):
This year was a doozy. Papa Snappy finally lost his battle with cancer. I watched Momma Snappy try her damndest to hang on and not fall apart. That shit was hard. It’s so strange to think how life continues to go on without a person who was truly ‘larger than life.’ I always hated that expression, but when Papa Snappy died, I finally understood what it meant. How could the world continue turning, people keep on shopping and laughing and making future plans when he suddenly ceased to exist? It’s all so strange. Momma Snappy has managed to pull herself together and get through the rest of this year. For that I’m thankful, but other than that, I’d like to erase 2010 from the memory banks. Anyone out there reading this and having a cocktail, do me a favor and pour out a little sip for Papa Snappy. Thanks.
The husband of the family I was babysitting for came home after an hour–another possible flu case. He said, “no I feel awful but I’m sure it’s not the flu because I got a flu shot!” Hope he’s right! He paid me what we agreed for the whole evening. Now I can annoy my daughter with my presence.
It’s gotta get better…I wasn’t cut out for struggle!! LOL

Rf, I guess it’s just us to ring in the B’Stoner New Year!
Rf, I have to stay awake because I have relatives that will be calling me and once I go to sleep, anyone who disturbs me will be beaten to a pulp!

Snappy, why not go to sleep, and wake up next year? Sleeping Beauty moment! (Or Rip Van Winkel.) (you pick!)
Is it time to sing and drop the damned ball yet? I’m effin’ tired and I feel like crap on a stick.
