A Most Wonderful New Year to You All!
Happy New Year. :)I Wish you a great holiday and a good year!:D
I second the wishes to Sir Betz – he will change the world and then he can make mischeif with his chemistry set 😉
Being bad means that quiet women don't make history (Roughly quoted – and with the exception of Caroline Kennedy…with any luck LOL)
Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the wonderful wish! I hope that 2009 brings you everything that you want and need!
And a very Happy New Year to you, too! Here's hoping that your year is the best it can be. 8:-)
Haha… just what I would have chosen for myself! Thank you so very much; may 2009 bring you joy, health, happiness and every lovely unexpected pleasure. x
Oh thank you! I hope you have many laughs and even more happiness =)
Happy New Year to you! What wonderful wishes for all of your Vox neighbours 🙂
Thank you for a very thoughtful New Year wishes, Patricia 🙂
Awww…thanks, sweetie! It's what I hope for, too! 🙂
May you have a prosperous year full of best seller lists, more than you can handle book launch requests, many Voxer meetups (*ahem*), and lots and lots of family time.
((((((((hugs)))))))))))
You continue to amaze me! How thoughtful to take the time to write out such an extensive list of well wishes! I hope your year is blessed beyond measure. There is a verse that promises that as we give it will be given back to us: pressed down, shaken together and running over. If that is true, and I believe it is, then 2009 will indeed be a spectacular year for you!
God Bless!
Best wishes Patricia. Hopefully you have many more books in you! 🙂
Quite the list. I have a hope for everyone to find their moments of peace in the turmoil of the world and cling to them tenaciously. Enjoy every bit of savory flavor that life has to offer.
A very happy new year to you also! You are such a wonderful perso to think of us all!
Thanks, Patricia! A very blessed and happy year to you and your family, who make reeeaalllyyy cute elves, BTW.
Bless you!
Be sure that if my work ever does get commissioned, I'll find a way to "place" some plugs in there for your work too. Synergy!
Happy New Year to you and yours. 🙂
And for Patricia: Many more good succesful easy reading books!
Thank you, Patricia. Wishing you too a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
Happy New Year, Patricia! Thanks for the very warm wishes.. what a wonderful post!
Thank you Patricia, wow thinking of all the well wishes for your fellow voxers – fabulous.
I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season…and that all you New Years wishes come true 🙂
Patricia,thanks for the excellent idea for Ted. You must have a little esp because im in the early stages of getting parts for another robot but I don't have a good idea on what type to build yet. For you to mention all of your most humble followers blows me away. I have a feeling this year for you will be a great one and I wish you all the best.
Thanks for taking the time to wish us all well! I am looking forward to another year of your sassy and thought provoking prose. All the Best Patricia.
Happy New Year Patricia!! Here's wishing you all the best in your writing and thank you for your kind words. 🙂
Thank you for the Christmas wishes Patricia. You are always so kind and thoughtful.
Thank you very much, Duy Dao. I wish you the same. Thank you for stopping by!
Happy New Year to You, Too, Ellie. Thank you for stopping by. I get the quote, but what did you mean about Caroline Kennedy?
Thanks Lilia, and thanks for stopping by!
Thank you very much, Your Highness! Hope all goes as well for you, too!
I wish you the same, you know…can't wait to read about your first year as a married couple….
Thanks, Cap! Laughs are good!
Thank you, Hannah! I look forward to reading more of your blog posts. They always give me a very happy feeling….
Hope they come true this year, Connie!
That's a really great wish for me, Foxsy! Thanks!
Thank you, NayNay. That'sa wonderful wish and very much appreciated.
moments of peace in the turmoil of the world and cling to them tenaciously
Absolutely a great point, K. Thanks for stopping by!
Hope that you really enjoy the new baby this year, TWM! (They grow so fast, don't they?)
Re: Elves—Thanks, Beaner! They can't decide if they are annoyed at me or think it's funny, too! Have a great year!
It will get placed! I'm sure of it, so I will hold you to that promise,friend! ; )
Thank you, too, Abie. (I'm working on that!)
Thank you, Suga' I know you had a hard year this year with the tragedy back home, but I hope this year is much, much better for you….
Ellie and I are both waiting for you to take over the world, Steve! We'll work for ya when you do!
Thanks a bunch, JM. Of course, after you read my comment on your blog post, you;ll know that all my wishes coming true are one heck of a tall order! ; D
Wow! Hope you build Ted a girlfriend,Craig! I really do! (And I hope you have a terrific year, too.) Thanks for stopping by.
All the best to you, too, Ginger! Thank you for stopping by!
Look forward to more of your blog in 2009, C!
Great to have you back, Michelle! (I have more to say, but I will send it in a PM)
Ah! Sorry for the obscure reference. There was an editorial in the Boston Globe saying that Caroline Kennedy was (roughly quoted) too mousy and private to be a Senator. (The writer rightfully caught heck for his statement) And yes, Steve Betz would make a great boss!!
I thought it was something like that. She'll get it, though, mousy or otherwise, because she is Caroline Kennedy…
Yer welcome! =)
Blimey, that must have taken you some time to write, a wee personal message for all those people! Happy new year to you too, I hope the book promotion is going well. I've just passed my copy on to my best friend and my mum is getting bought a copy for her birthday in February. I'm doing my bit to help publicity in England!! I hope 2009 bring many happy times for you and your family, you deserve them.
Thanks for the good wishes, Vic, and right back at you! You know it's one thing for a friend to read my book and say she likes it, but when she actually inflicts it on other people, now that's truly a gesture! Thanks a bunch, dear!
[das ist gut]
Thank you Snowwhite, and thank you for stopping by. Germany is a beautiful country. I had the opprotunity to visit many years ago, and I hope to come back again someday. The people there were very friendly and helpful, too…
[這個好]
Patricia, you are too kind to think of each and every neighbor in the New Year. Many happy returns for you in 2009: wishing you all of the love, happiness and success you deserve!
Happy New Year Patricia…may every day provide you with as much happiness, warmth, and love as your posts here have provided us.
All the best
Thank you, Marie. I hope this year is a special one for you, Marie. You have so much courage and determination and are often in my thoughts….
Thanks for the good wishes. I would have loved to write about every neighbour , prairie. But,it would have been way too long a post. It has been a joy to be on VOX , and my neighbourhood is GREAT!
Thank you, Jack, for stopping by!
Thank you Patricia..that means alot!
Almost everything Dr Pat.Missing a job but have an interview today at 2 pm. I'm regarding that as another positive.
Hello , there! I've been trying to get in touch with you on your email address and things keep bouncing back to me. Do you know of any problems?
How incredibly sweet! Thank you for the good wishes!
Thank-you, my friend, but having a spot in your heart is sufficient for me. :-)Hugs.rg
Well, you have that already. ; )
My pleasure. I've been following your blog. It could be such a wonderful thing to present to your son someday. Maybe you should print out or download some of it to a CD? I think he might get a lot out of it to learn of your feelings when he was so small…
What a great idea!!!!
Oh I missed this. thanks for the individual wishes for me. I am honoured to be grouped with my fellow monarch Queen of Fractal Beauty too!
Of course, Empress. It's good for the masses when individual monarchys can be in alliance! ; )
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog! :)And thanks for your wish for my dad! I will join you in wishing he makes the NY Times Best Seller List!!
Thank you, saraH. My husband and I met your parents this week at the infamous Satrbuck's in Green Valley, and it was a real pleasure for both of us.
That's what my mom said! That's so cool you were able to meet!
Happy New Year. Better late than never.
ah!!! – yup – EXACTLY what i need – and i may actually get a new laptop when we're in the states in May 🙂 – thank you!
p.s. yes, as my entire LIFE depends on having a good, solid and hopefully fast internet connection – from your keyboard out to the universe!!
The same to you. I'll look forward to reading more of your posts in 2009.
As I know exactly what you mean, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
AWWWW….I am only now catching up on blogs and you mentioned me by name…AND wished me a spaceship!! Well my dear first officer, I think you get to fire my Zap gun just for that. Now, down girl, I mean the Zap gun, not some other "gun" (that one doesn't go ZZZZZAAAPPP and shoot out bright red blaster bolts – stop laughing now, filthy mind I tell you, filthy!).
My warmest wishes to you for 2009 and say hello to your cool cool hubby. Of COURSE he can talk about spider-man. And Cyclops. I'm sure he knows Cyclops is cool too.
Kisses and hugs to you.
Really???!! I'm first officer? And, I get to fire zap gun, a real one? This is too much. I'm putting this on my Facebook page…Just watch me.
Oh I do watch you Patricia, but only with a healthy sex drive, nothing stalkerish. Besides your hubby is a Martian too so we can only flirt harmlessly.
You're on facebook too…I may have to find you and friendship request you…though I am lazy about FB. Very lazy, so don't hold it against me if it takes months.
Thank you, Patricia!
