Happy New Year

Well Jan 1st 2010 arrived and the 1st decade of the new century is complete.
It made me think what had I been doing for the 1999 new year celebration?

I was in London at the waterfront standing on a bridge drinking with my hubby and his brother. There was a large fireworks display in the sky and there were Millions of people at every corner of the street.
No one knew what might happen on 1/1/00. Some thought Y2K was going to make it all stop working. I was in my first job for 3 months so had not really fully understood all the technology that business was reliant on. My computer had a person come and look at it for 1 hour and he "readied" it for the new century.
We "tested" our clicks and tvs at home to make sure they could have the new date and that when it flipped over it still worked. Feels a little crazy to say this - but it was something people talked about.

What will the next 10 years bring???
- computers that can run from an earpiece - sensing your voice for commands and brainwaves for commands

- Obama will make it as president for most of the next 10 years. There will be a "shock" scandal that will come along ...

- music and books available on phone - soon to have full movies - and battery power that lasts for 24 hours

- the new clothes trend will be retro 80s with legging and warmers

- personalized medicine (both drugs and doctors) will be more mainstream in this decade

I'm going to continue on my quest for happiness and self-esteem and perhaps the usual weight loss regime for a 10 pound loss!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
