Happy New Year! 9/9

Dear QotD?ers,

let's catch up on a few things: Anne's brithday was this weekend! My 5 year work-a-versary was Monday! Cuñao and Sabrina are indeed engaged! Three cheers!

I think, in 2010: the superbowl will continue to have sub-par commercials; the winter olympics will expose some dark hidden secrets about Canadians, I will win So You Think You Can Dance

Today's Question of the Day? is:
What are some things you don't want to happen in 2010?

Love,
The Asker

I am rather uncomfortable with burritobots that clean my house.
I would also like to avoid Dr. Fandango taking control of the world...any world.

I did indedd have a birthday over the weekend, but it did not grant me wisdom. Yesterday, as I was trying to help one child with school work, another child was purposefully distracting and interrupting us. I sent the distracting child to sing to themselves in front of the mirror, but somehow that punishment did not work. Then I sent the disruptor to go stand quietly in their closet for 5 minutes and think scary thoughts. I am not sure where the miscommunication was, but closet apparently meant disco dance hall for this child. I am not an effective "FEEL MY WRATH" person!!

@ Jacklyn,

I laughed at your bubble comment because I well remember when I was 22 and my boss was 30. He would frequently make comments about how I would understand things when I was his age. I would always rather scoff at this, as I thought "I am grown up, have a degree, have a job, support myself, take care of my responsiblities. Honestly, what does that man think is going to be different about life in another eight years?" When I approached 30, there was a quiet "Hmmm. 'kay maybe" response to this. But as I went through my thirties and into my forties, I was forced to call him and apologize for being an arrogant, stupid youth. He laughed with me at that point and then reminded me that I will understand things better when I get to be his age!!

Happy happy belated birthday, Anne! *lovemuffins* Congratulations on being wiser, although Disney cartoons never age. I don't know how you clean the house in that fabulous victorian gown of yours, but I'm sure you do it with STYLE.

Also, what if the burritobots also cooked dinner and gave fantastic foot massages? (They say refried beans are good for the skin! "They" being "me" and thus probably not to be trusted.)

@Asker
I'd like to avoid the apocalypse, another world war (actually, more wars of any kind), zombie outbreaks, pandemics, and being in a car accident.

And I think you're on to something about the Canadians.

@ TamiJean!

I am just grossed out by the thought of burritobots giving foot massages! Although it is rather hilarious picturing squishy burritos at my feet. I sure hope they don't have sour cream in them!!

And I thought I made it clear that I am NONE the wiser for being older. Here...I said this to my family over the weekend and got saucer eyes as a response from all of them. It is that shocking of a statement.

I am now old enough that if you are rounding my age, I am fifty!! Good gravy! How can I be that old and NOT have any wisdom!!??? It is a disgrace!!

OMG! Anne, I am sorry I did not tell you happy birthday this morning! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

There are many things I don't want to happen, but no more earthquakes...and no more war....no pandemics....no deaths or serious diseases in any of our families....

TamiJean, good ones.

Sweetie Pie, what, not even lime jello or mint chocolate chip icecream?

Mom, also good ones.
