Wishing you peace and prosperity for 2008. May health stay with you and wealth come knocking. Good luck taking a second stab at those new year resolutions. Monkeys on top! (and roosters, dragons, rats, tigers, oxen, et al.)

1. Quit smoking and stay quit (I think in all honesty I can no longer just say 'stay quit' anymore)

2. Make money (this is a top priority for Betta, like no other years before. There's wealth in the air and now is the time)

3. Climb a mountain (literally)

4. Complete *top secret for now* book project

5. Sew first collection of bags

6. New ink at the end of the year

7. Visit Newt at Christmas

8. Drink often and drink happily

Eight's good number.

Yes! I was just thinking that Christmas would be a good time, cos my family's probably coming to visit, too.

Oh. But. Lots of, um, "Aucklanders" usually travel overseas... or go back to where they came from... during Christmas time... Ju knowhatImean.
