In 1996, my Grandmother Turnock gave me a Ladies Journal. This brought
forth a great deal of entertainment as family members and friends made entries
regarding Christmas and New Years. Note: The Christmas Entries were more coherent
than the New Year entries due to blood alcohol levels. Later in 1997, it was
taken to various parties for more entries. Here are excerpts:

In early January of 1997, I had an appointment to get my impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed.
This brought forth a great deal of anxiety-- mostly the idea of anesthesia and the fact that it
*GASP* might make me nauceous. In attempt to ease my nerves, the night before my surgery, my
friend Aaron Evans drew his rendition of the next day's events.

We spent this New Years at home in front of the TV in Blacksburg. We had good cause-- early the next morning we were leaving to drive to New Orleans.

This was another uneventful New Years. Sean and I were both ill with some vicious congestion.
I remember waking up at 11:30 PM and having to really convince myself to stay up until midnight.
Earlier in the evening, I did have time to make my annual recap.

This New Years was spent in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Sean and I got a wonderful table
right on the waterfront and had a great view of fireworks show.
