January 1, 2000

Good morning. Mimsie and i are comptemplating our day...... Wow, Day 1 of Year 2000! Woohoo......

i stayed in lastnight. my back hurt so bad i didn't want to move....... and, i sorta just wanted lastnight to be like any other night... aside from a few phone calls from friends - yes, i seem to be developing a long list of phone calling friends - i was asleep by 11:00pm.

Magically, i came awake at Midnight! Well, 6 minutes 'til. (my clock is fast). i got up... used the bathroom and returned to my warm bed..... waiting..........

waiting........

surely, in a huge city like Chicago, the Year 2000 is NOT going to come quietly........

waiting........

ok, maybe my clock is more than 6 minutes fast........

waiting.......

then it started! explosions... and people cheering and guns popping..... craziness........ and.....

a little eery too......

it just sounded like thunder... rolling and rolling and rolling..... now, it is possible that i had fallen back to sleep during some of the explosions but, i layed there thinking..... boy, if God was coming, i bet this is what it would sound like...... suddenly i was praying..... for me, my family, everyone i knew........ just in case........ like he'd have time to listen at the last minute.... geeesh.

next thing i remember it was daylight and the birds were antaganizing Mims! so, i figured..... all had gone fine. God wasn't interested in all of us yet...... just picked a few here and there.........

so, we begin....... a new year....... the start of a new millenium (certainly hope i learn to spell that right).

Mims is asleep on my chair........
i'm tired.......
my hair is wet......
i'm sorta hungry.....
ok, so, what's different?

hmmph!

Happy New Year and many kisses................ jami

more January Kisses

ok, so it doesn't look like a bar but... here it is!
