Please, visit us again often. <BR/><BR/>Ella, very good point about not making too much out of the night! I used to do with with New Year's Eve, and inevitably ended up disappointed. Then I lessened my expectations and started having fun.<BR/><BR/>And...just have to share, TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33759280.post-26841867222199683812007-03-12T20:58:00.000-07:002007-03-12T20:58:00.000-07:00Hi Mirella, great point and thanks for adding to t...Hi Mirella, great point and thanks for adding to the list!<BR/>---<BR/>Ella, yes!

(And great list, BTW.) Here's one from me: <BR/><BR/>Do not think you can't go to the prom if you don't have a "hot" date--or one at all.
