It’s day one of 2008 so I thought I’d write a little something to start off the new year with, maybe not-so-big, a bang! I am officially back in the blogging business (so, it’s baaack) and this time, I don’t plan on filing for bankruptcy, anymore, like I did last year (he! he! that is, if I can help it).
Friendsters, I am absolutely famished! You see, I haven’t eaten anything since last year. Ha! Ha! Ha! Alright, so, I pigged out New Year’s Eve, which is technically last year, if you really think about it. In simpler terms, I could just say last night or yesterday. But hey, where’s the fun in that? Today is absolutely the best day to exploit the phrase “last year” and draw out (from different folks) the kind of reaction you would on April Fools Day.
Just try it, you’ll see. Start with your spouses, siblings, parents, or friends. Tell them how odd, strange or weird (or however else you want to say it) that the last time you saw (chatted, talked, or whatever else you did with them yesterday) them was last year. And then add (to further your scheme), “but it seems like yesterday, don’t you think?” I’m pretty sure, you will, at least, put a smile on their faces. And that, of course, is the ultimate goal of all this nonsense. Happy New Year, peeps!
hey, joselyn! i’ve taken your advice and tried the “last year” phrase on several of my coworkers, to the tune of many laughs:) thanks for a great suggestion! it does sound funny indeed:) may you and your family have a wonderful 2008!!
