FOR A BETTER 2010

Being the good Latin that I am, and friend, I share with you the following NYE traditional tricks for a better year. All of these to be done at midnight:

FOR GOOD LUCK:
1. wear yellow underwear on NYE

2. eat a leaf of cabbage

3. eat a spoon of black-eye peas

4. eat 12 grapes and make a wish for each one

5. mop part of your house, and then dump the bucket of water out the door (this cleanses your house of bad luck)


FOR $$
1. trade a dollar bill with someone and keep it in your wallet all year

2. leave a cabbage head under your bed right before midnight, and remove afterwards

3. eat a mandarin and save the seeds in your wallet

FOR LOVE

1. wear red underwear (instead of the yellow, or with the yellow... up to you really)

FOR TRAVEL

1. walk around the block with a piece of luggage/backpack with an item of yours inside. Through the years we have decided that if you run, you will travel by plane. If you walk you will travel by bus

I can verify that this works. Those of you that know me, know I am constantly traveling... so try it!

*******

Now it's quite a task to do all of these right at midnight. I suggest you start out like 15 mins ahead of time. It makes for lots of fun.

Happy Happy New Year!!!
