good luck??

[Guest guest]

Ok, and this is the latest thing I've heard for good luck on New Years (and

trust me.....right now I'm open to anything! heck, I'll even remove the pink

hearts from my pictures if it will help!)

So this has to do with polkadots. Seems you have to wear an NEW item of

clothing with polkadots on New Years Eve. Got to be wearing it at midnight.

The bigger the dots the better.....as that's how the bad luck gets out leaving

room for the good luck I suppose.

So tonight, after the earth shattering news of the day, I went to K Mart

with my sister and niece and got me some Joe Boxer shorts. I'm told that happy

faces qualify as polka dots. Sure do hope so! But to be sure, after that I

went to the grocery store and got some dried black eyed peas, ham hocks and

creamed herring!

HEY, can I join you guys under the covers and in the cave? As we usher

out the old year and bring in the new year I sit here with the SECOND

UTI for the month of December! I woke up this morning in agony. I feel

like crap and the cipro makes my stomach upset. I have lost COUNT how

many UTI's I have had this year, but it has gone beyond ridiculous.

Soooo.....I wanna join you guys.

Ok, so the black eyed peas are cooked. My kapusti is made, I got some darn

herring!! (I'll add pickle juice to it and we can call it pickled....it's gotta

be close!) I work my polka dots last night and even have a reserve set of dots

for the day.

Some of you may know about the New Years Knocker (insert joke here) We did that

too! As I recall, your first visitor or person in your door after midnight had

to be a good looking man. You would then give him a drink and that somehow also

had to do with good luck for the next year. So after DH and I stood in the

street watching the fireworks from the Strip and Downtown Vegas (and boy the

Strat fireworks were great!) he crossed the proverbial threshold, I got him and

beer and we completed that tradition.

And then I remembered yet another!. Every year my grandmother would give the

women (those who had homes/families) an apron with a dollar bill pinned in the

pocket. You had to wear it on New Years Day and the dollar was so you would

never be broke. You'd always have money in your pocket. So I have 3 aprons,

one for sis and niece...and they better bring a buck to pin on my apron!

I covered all I could.....
