| December 29, 2003 - Happy New Year! |
| Dear Friends, I just want to wish each and every one of you a Fantabulous New Year full of bootyliciousness! I hope you all have plans for groovy parties to ring in the new year and all sorts of plans to make 2004 a personally rocking year. I myself will start it out by a fabulous trip New Year's Eve to the Bustling Metropolis where I've been invited to a party hosted by my friend Carla. Carla is the woman I stayed with in London last March, but she has since moved back to the States. I think it will be a great party, but I'm a little mystified as to the dress code for it. I received the invitation in one of those e-vites they have now and I couldn't understand if we were to dress casually or in the skimpiest clothing possible. So do I bring a pair of Kevin Cole slacks or lycra running shorts? I shall have to send her an email asking her, really I shall. Anyhoo, I've arranged to stay with her until Jan. 2 just in case I have a horrendous hangover. And if I'm not hungover, then I have a full day to gallavant around the Bustling Metropolis. Fun, fun, fun! For Xmas, I went down to the Sleepy Souf' where I visited my mother, my sister, and my niece and nephew. It actually was pretty fun. My mother and I spent a couple of hours on Saturday at a spa where we both got massages. I also sat in the sauna for about 30 minutes sweating like the proverbial suckling pig. But I personally think that self-indulgence is good for the soul, don't you? I was so energized from the sauna and massage on Saturday, that when I got back to the Big City on Sunday, I unpacked, washed two loads of clothes, two loads of dishes, and worked out in less than three hours! Before the holidays, a friend of mine and I went to see the musical "Camelot". It was really a good production of it. I just love the legitimate theatre! I always feel so hoity-toity getting dressed in elegant casual and sipping a glass of wine before the performance. After the play we got to hang around with some of the actors, but they were too busy stuffing their faces to really talk to anyone. I guess if you haven't eaten since lunch time and then have to cavort around stage for a few hours, you're pretty hungry by 11:00 p.m.! So I definitely didn't begrudge them their nourishment although why anyone would forego a conversation with me for food is beyond me! Now I know you're all dying to know what my plans for 2004 are. Well, first there's the trip this coming March to London and Edinburgh. I think I mentioned it in another entry somewhere. I'll visit my friend M. in London and my friend Laura in Edinburgh. Then sometime in the spring I want to visit my other sister in Hotlanta for a weekend going clubbing and such. Then in June I'll leave for my fantabulous month in Sweden. This time I plan on a weekend in Norway and then that will mean that I've visited every Scandinavian country. Last year I promised all of you that I was going to go to Greenland; particularly after seeing that weird movie "Smilla's Sense of Snow", but I never made it. However, this year I definitely want to go and hope I'll be able to. I looked at some Greenlandic tourism board website and it just seems like a groovy, not to mention unusual, place to go. And then, of course, there will be my yearly trip to Germany over Thanksgiving. 2004 year will be a year just a-brimmin' with fantabulosity!
