| Your New Year's Wishes as Confetti... | | You can go online and "submit" your wish, hope, yearning, dream, yen, etc. to the Times Square Wishing Wall and then they would print it out and include it in the confetti they usually send fluttering down when the New Year happens. Here's the site if you want to do this:http://www.timessquarenyc.org/nye/nye_interactive.htmlI did this last year. I don't even remember what I wrote/wished for but I hoped it came true. | |

| Need Birthday Ideas! | | My husband's birthday is this month and I need some ideas of what I can do. I can't think of anything he wants or needs. He turns 45 years old. He has plenty clothes,doesn't wear jewelery,doesn't read much, oh I don't know. I don't have a lot of money to put into it but I would kinda like it to be somewhat meaningful or at least useful. Any ideas? | |

| New Years- Food? Drink? Sleep? | | There has been much discussion on mylot lately about what people will do for New Years. My question to mylot is- are is there something special that you eat and drink on New Years? You know- that one special thing that is just reserved for New Years, and no other day? | |
| | Do you love cakes? | | When there are celebrations such as anniversaries, birthdays, graduations etc. I see to it that I buy a cake.Most of the time I love chocolate cakes. There are several bakeshops here. But my favorite is the chocolate cake from goldilocks. They are expensive but taste like a cake and ice cream in one. I think I also love those from cinnamon and from karen's bakeshop. They are cheaper and I often buy there. | |

God Bless you All!! | |
