By RENEE SERENO, former newsbabe turned undomestic doyenne. In late 1999, she and her husband traded their On-Cam lives for a less chaotic existence abroad. They now reside in Modesto, CA with their two sons, Lance and Troy, and their Pit Bull, Spot. The couple is eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first daughter, Reanna, in June 2004. They expect the coming Prada Baby to be every bit as high maintenance as her mother.

IN WITH THE NEW

Thanks to RONALLAN, JAYRED, MARE, NIKKI, MEEYAGIRL and abby for dropping by to leave me their personal New Year's greetings. I would like to wish them, and YOU, a happy and healthy 2006 as well.

I'm sure all of us ushered in the new year with great fanfare. My mother-in-law's home witnessed its own share of noisemaking, revelry and rabble-rousing.

Here are a few pictures to prove it.

But now, the party's over, and we find ourselves carefully opening those ubiquitous datebook planners from our credit card and insurance companies, taking in their familiar leather scent, and creasing their spines for the very first time. Each year, they lie in wait, like proverbial clean slates, their empty pages just waiting to be filled.

May this be a year of interesting entries for us all.

Happy New Year!
