End of one Journey

So...it is now less than 90 minutes before it is officially 2009.

I quickly went up to Gainesville today to check on the cat and to make sure the rent was paid. She seem to be happy I was there. I played with her for a bit. She serprised me when I found her actually sleeping in HER basket/bed. Yes!! like it is about time girl! I just hope she remembers that it is HER bed and not her litter box! (LOL) Yes, I have caught her using it as her litter box. She can be smart but at other times, I wonder about her.

My sister tried to fix a daqauri today but, trust me it was disguesting. Number 1-she didn't mix it correctly; #2 -she failed to use crush ice; #3 it had NO rum or vodka in it. and #4 she mixed a mojita with a daqauri. <<<>>> thank God for Samuel Adams! Although my nephew wants me to try a new beer call "Blue Moon." never heard of it but he say's it really good with some fresh orange in it.

Speaking of oranges...while I was heading back to Gainesville for the 1 hour (4 hours round trip)...I stopped off at the rest area on the turnpike. Strawberries. Big plunk juicy strawberries. Not this little punnie green stuff. Huge delicious strawberries. I bought a whole flat ($18). When I got back into Orlando, I washed, cut and sweetened them. At least whatever is left of it. OMG!!! It was soooooooooo good!!! Where is my whip cream when I need it?! Or vanilla ice cream. I also picked up a bag of oranges and grapefruits.

So, this is the final chapter of this book- college mom's cafe/blog. It's a new year, a new book, a new chapter...a new journey. A new Mom's journey. Tim's life at college has ended...I'm no longer that "college mom." Maybe new life experiences will teach me (as I share them) some valuable lessons. Maybe my new year's resolution should be about the goals in changes and as I suceed in those changes...accomplishments- I can gladly share them.

So tonight, as we come to the end of the day. Sun has set, stars are shining....the moon is glowing and this chapter has ended, the book is closing, one journey has ended and another new journey has begun.

Happy New Year!!!

The End!
