Say what now? I have seventy years of not to great luck because I never heard I was supposed to eat black-eyed peas on New Years Day...
Hmm.
That explains a lot...
Wait!
How does it explain anything?
I'm a Chili gal! Give be red pinto beans and I'll kick up a rodeo full of fun, even now!
Yes, yes, I'm an old coot too. I did manage to remain on the couch, head on a pillow, covered by a "throw" until the dang ball dropped.
My "celebration" was something like "Thank God! Now I can go to bed!"
I love your sense of humor.
Always have.
It's worth more to me than...a whole plate of Black eyed peas!
(They tell me that's a compliment, so take it as one!)
Time for my first 2024 afternoon nap.
Woo hoo!
I'm a wild woman!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I rather agree here, Terry, and I don't care if it makes me sound frigging old! Let's just get the holidays over and stop indulging ourselves. Your flash story made me smile. Love the little reflections and the play on words with your throwing and passing wind. A great story for today! Take care and Happy Frigging New Year to you too! :)) Debbie

Lol. I made it to midnight. First time in probably a decade. But no television or fireworks. Lol. You sound like an old curmudgeon and ... I loved it. What a tongue in cheek way to start the year off. The picture was perfect. Sorry I don't have a six in the arsenal. My praise will just have to do. Gretchen

LOL, praise from you for humor is off the charts! Terry.

My praise and two dollars, you've got yourself a cup of coffee. (But not the good kind.)
-
LOL, tell you what, I throw an extra $5 and get bourbon.
-
For seven dollars, won't be top shelf.

LOL, I hadn't been out to buy a drink in so long, I have no idea. r
Comment from BethShelby
I love that you brought your sense of humor with you into the New Year. I've never deliberately eaten blackeyed peas or any of the other good luck charms on New Year' days. Rice is supposed to be lucky and might go
well with that Two-Alarm Chilli tampering it down a notch so you won't accidentally blow up nothing.
From one ole coot to another... Happy New Year.

Whoopee! Careering into my eighty-first year awash with crayfish, champagne and Auld Lang Syne. What's up with you youngsters? Black-eyed peas? Flapdoodle and folderol! Come on, Terry. Get a life.

Thank you for sharing this New Years' post with us. I enjoyed reading. While I was growing up my father used to call the New Years' Eve shenanigan, 'Amateur Night'. I'm not a partier, so my husband and I spent the night playing Scrabble. I was lucky last night, I won both games before I called it a night, late for me 10:30. I couldn't help but smile at your post. My pray is that you have a blessed 2024.

Comment from Sally Law
Happy New Year, Terry. I went to bed at 3am today. My neighbors went wild with the fireworks, that and I'm sick which made for a miserable night's sleep. My husband looked at my hair this morning and started singing the song, "Wild Thing," by The Troggs. We had fun with it.
My hair's still a fright and we're rolling with it. Crab cakes for dinner though. No black eyed peas. I guarantee, they don't bring good luck.
Sending you my best today as always and blessings for the new year.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Wow, sounds like I am going to have to start calling you a New Years Scrooge, or would you prefer Grinch? Cute, very cute! It is amazing how we lose the desire for those New Years activities as we age. There was a day that you couldn't pay me to miss a party. Last night I stayed home from my son's party because.... Can't remember what my excuse was. They even offered to have the Viking's game on, that I did stay up to watch to see the back up, to the back up quarter back lose again.
So the eve wasn't any fun for me either. Just another night to remember and write.
However, you and Mr NY Scrooge from my house must be on the same page, as he made a bean soup with the ham bone from Christmas. So the wind I am sure will be blowing here too sometime today.
I did hear from the church sermon yesterday, if you want time to stop going so fast, go to the Dr and sit in the waiting room. It always moves slower there.
Fun story to start the year off, Terry! Loved it!

Thanks for the six stars. Sometimes, I just get in a mood, this was one of those times. Terry.

One of the new things I embarked on last year was attend an early morning prayer group, one reason was to support my life long friend and in recent times, pastor, Dave White, it has been a tremendously stimulating and productive time of growth and fellowship, although it's at 5:30 am, so on top of my already busy schedule, it's a winner, good advice Terry, blessings Roy
