What is everyone doing for New Years?
My family and I rented out the bowling ally for us and a bunch of our friends.
Every year since 2 years ago, I have a new years eve party/sleepover. A few of my friends come over and sleepover. :)
Going nowhere, doing nothing. Fine with me!! 2009 is coming whether I'm asleep or awake. Why waste sleep over it??
We have always had Chinese food for New Year's Eve, for over 30 years. Now, we just go a bit earlier to accomodate my Dad.
On New Year's Day, I always love to watch the Rose Bowl Parade. The amazing floats, the ideas, what they can do with flowers, is always amazing and lovely.
Then, weather permitting, we also go to the Zoo, as it is always free admission on New Year's Day. As it is winter, you get to see some animals which are hiding in the summer heat. Like the Arctic Foxes, they are adorable!
Last few years we've sat home. This year we might be going to my parents to play cards. We always have a blast with them! If by some chance we don't go, we'll just sit home with the furkids. :)
Pretty dull - but staying home where it's SAFE!!! Just the family - and we'll do the usual - have munchies and watch movies or play board games. They'll watch the ball drop - and if I manage to stay awake till then - I'll do the same!!! :D
And for all of you that will travel the roads and go out to celebrate - PLEASE be careful. I just know that you'll all be sensible and responsible (:p), but please watch out for the ones that aren't!
I wish you all a very safe and happy and healthy New Year! :)
My New Years nights have been getting a little duller each year as I age. lol This year however we probably won't be going anywhere or doing much of anything. I was just diagnosed yesterday with pericarditis. The doctors say I have to take it easy until I heal... which is usually a couple weeks to a few months. We'll probably eat a nice dinner or something and relax.
As of now, staying home. Might go to church for 11 PM communion service.
Getting ready for Christmas!
We will have Christmas on January 3rd this year with my family at my sister's house - Lady and her humans are heading East to be there, and our nephew is flying in from San Diego (he's in the Navy) so the whole (loud, boisterous) gang will be there! :)
Bruce will be working a gig (he runs sound for a band) at a local "dive" bar. He wants me to go with him, but I'm just not sure yet. I might head over there closer to midnight so I can at least be with him at that time. But I guess I'll just be kicking it with my mini-zoo here at home. :)
I'm working New Years eve. I'm supposed to be off at 11-11:30 but I'll be busing home due to the snow.. so I'll probably be sitting on a bus when midnight strikes. Joy.. :rolleyes:
What I dream of doing is have dinner with a good looking man, go out and do some dancing and welcome in the new year in Jackson Square in New Orleans.. But then I wake up and realize, that ain't gonna happen so I'll settle for being here with my fur kids and welcoming the new year here with them and HOPE I won't have to be making my way to some boat on the Mississippi River to go to WORK on New Years Eve! :(
I'll be home, trying to stay up until midnight!! HA.....Too dangerous to be out after midnight....too many drunk drivers......
My boyfriend and I are going out to his Grandparents house to play cards with them and his Great Aunt and Uncle. I'm excited! :D
You can celebrate my birthday while you're there ;)Quote:
