I can’t believe that it’s 2009. That’s just crazy.
A kindergarten teacher once told me that if you said “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” on the first day of the month, before talking with anyone, you’d have good luck all month. This always posed a problem for me on New Year’s Eve because at midnight, you’re supposed to yell “Happy New Year!” … which means that you’re talking to people before the whole rabbit thing. When I was much younger, I used to say the rabbit thing under my breath REALLY fast and then yell…so I was always a second or so behind everyone else – but I don’t think anyone really noticed. I haven’t done the rabbit thing in years, but I always think of it.
I suppose this is the time to talk about New Year’s resolutions. Mike and I made a family resolution last year to start going to church. And, for the most part, we stuck to it. There were, of course, some Sundays that we didn’t go…but we did it, and we’ll keep going this year as well.
This year, we’re going to make a conscious effort to keep in touch/get back in touch with friends. We’re going to try to get together more often and stop being the hermits that parenthood sometimes forces you into (this might be just perception on our part 😉 )

The Zimmer Zoo 
What a great resolution!
I have never heard of the “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” thing. How cute and wouldn’t it be nice if it worked???
Hope you have a very blessed New Year!
I used to teach my kids (at school) rabbit, rabbit and we would remind each other at the end of each month. (It’s allegedly a Chinese custom.) I used to swear by it….maybe one of my resolutions should be going back to it.
Never heard of that, but maybe I should try it.
Happy New Year!
As for keeping in touch…I JUST joined facebook and am totally addicted!!!
Happy New year! Great resolution!
Since I’m always game to assist others in keeping their resolutions (while trampling on my own asap), here’s a blast from Nancy’s past saying how much I enjoy the Zimmer Zoo! I’ve also passed on the web address to the usual suspects, so you may be hearing from more “golden moldies” in the near future! Love to y’all!
