...sort of.

My friends and I have decided that we'd rather get our new year's eve party overwith by 9:00pm so we can go to bed, so I have found a new year countdown for Buenos Aires, which will give us our big new year celebration at a more convenient time.

We are hosting a small party here at my house and the adjusted climate calls for blender drinks and a curfew. We're quite enthused for our new approach and those who want to ring in the USA new year can still do so elsewhere. It's ideal!

Anyone have plans to share?

That sounds like loads of fun AMN! DH and I are sitting at home with a bottle of champagne. We're sort of night owls anyway so we'll probably be up past midnight then hit the sack. We don't go out on New Year's Eve anymore, haven't for at least 20 years.

Sounds like a fun time Nappy!

2007 sucked for me!

2008 will be a sucky year also!

So I will not be wasting my time ringing in a New Year!

I will drown myself in a bottle of Pepsi and munch on a bag of chips however!

I do need to find out when the Sugar Bowl is on. "Go Warriors!"

Seriously, the rest of you have a Happy New Year!

Sounds good to me...when do we leave and does our cruise go there? If not, we'll have to use FG's Aeroplane..

Still MS fatigued, but had a nice day. Both Sons, Dawn, who is just back from Iraq, DD and 3 of the grands came over today. Not all at once... DD and Grands came over about 11AM and left about noon, then Sons and Dawn came about 12:30 and I chased them off at 2:00.....NAP TIME!!

Son #1 brought me 2 bottles of M&R Asti Spumonti and Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies...Yummmmmm. Son #2 and Dawn brought me a couple of Scent Defuser...really neat and a very large Candle. They know what I like. DD brought my groceries, bless her heart.

Goodnight All.

Happy New Year ya'll.........cept you RiverWild.....I will wait and tell you on your offical thread.......

Well, I am going out tonight! Do I want to?? NO!!!!! Some friends from WI announced a couple of months ago that they were coming down to celebrate NY's w/us.

They (2 couples) have hotel reservations and we all have reservations at the Country Club (1/2 mi from my driveway) The food should be good and the band is one that is an Eagles' tribute band, so the music is going to be awesome. My friends keep telling me to have my dancing shoes on. Yeah, right!!! I won't be doing any dancing that's for sure..

I really love these friends, but I just don't feel like going out, still trying to get over cold/bronchitis. I told DH that if he can't find me around 10pm to look in the women's room. I may be asleep on the porcelain chair in there...

Boy, I don't sound very enthused, do I?? Wish Toad Hollow had cabs; I'd come up to Cin's party. Hope you all have a good evening and that the New Year will be one that brings joy to all of us.

Hi guys!!
Wow, alot of plans tonight......
Well, my plans are me and my puppies WRenn and the Jaxx running naked thru the woods!!!!
How's that for NYE plans??
Well....if Craig and his wife can have sex on the beach(with or w/o) the santa suit, and others are meeting couples, then by golly my doggies and i can run thru the woods!! heehee Just kidding, there will be NO running on my part... maybe a slow waddle with lots of tripping and falling.
Every one have a SAFE and Wonderful New Year!!
Hugs Geri

Sounds like you've surrounded yourself with equally boring friends there, Cindy. Unfortunately I don't know anyone as low-key as me these days, so it'll be a quiet celebration.

Lookin' forward to a new year though!



Cherie

WOW! I am just sooooo jealous of you guys!

My wife and I don't really have a circle of friends and relatives all live too far away. We plan on going to Outback Resturaunt for an early dinner and then trying to stay awake to see some of the celebrations on TV.

I expect we will be going to bed before the magical bewitching hour. Have a lot of great things to watch on TV starting tomarrow morning with HGTV's Making of the Rose Parade at 10am and then at 11am what the commercial free Rose Parade on HGTV. Their hosts are great and you get alot of trivia about the floats with no commercial interruptions. Awesome!

Then we will start watching the bowl games. WoooHooo!

A Happy New Year to all, no matter when you actually celebrate it.
