2009 Wishes for my Neighbors

Stolen from Patricia Volonakis Davis's Blog

For Autumn Snow: A year of self-discovery, adventure, and well-behaved students!

For Potty Mouth, Street Vein, and Kirk: Lots and lots of experiences to fuel your wonderfully captivating writing! Sometimes it might be cynical, sometimes it might be poetry. I love it all.

For Papi Chulo and Miss Scotch: An intimate and fulfilling first year as man and wife. (Congrats on the raise, Scotch)

For Goldie and Olivia: Happiness for you and your beautiful little ladies, no matter what form it takes. It may come in the form of a lover, a job, a hobby, embarking on a new personal journey... doesn't matter. Just happiness!

For Tom: Ten fingers, ten toes, one belly-button, and a steady pulse. And lots and lots of love from Ana-Sofia Vargas and Wind.

For Elyse: A wonderful 21st birthday, and the growth and personal transformation that will come with it.

For Tara: A brand-spanking new "diet coke machine" that will never run out of the delicious tonic you love so much. And hopefully no more clients with "medical emergencies"!

For Ruiner: A year of renewal and peace. A year of love for you and Favre. Maybe a new, better job? and lots of Austin-Houston visits!

For Butterfly Baby: Enough time with Drew to pour your love on him and relish all of his wonderful "firsts", but enough time alone to be able to really, really appreciate it. And some good nights of sleep!

For Scrointment: Success and fun on the sales floor! May you find all the wonderful pink things your heart desires! (dooood, hook up the samples!)

For Chellbian: Inspiration! Write, lady, write!

For Amy: A magical intervention that will allow you to live where you want and make ends meet. And be happy.

For Babette: A year of good times with your family, and lots and lots of hugs from your gorgeous child!

For Kelly: Peace. A year of reflection and happiness and self-renewal. It will take a while, but you'll get there.
