Just like every other year, my husband will have to work so I'll be hanging out at home with Samantha. Some years I make myself a nice fancy dinner but I doubt I'll do that, probably just pull some lasagna out of the freezer from last weekend.
I think last year I ended up in Letterville Chat...chances are pretty good I'll do that again after I get Sam to bed.

I usually play the old Duck and Cover routine, we stay in and watch the ball drop, and staw far away from all the amateur drunks running around with 2-ton rolling projectiles.
See ya in chat Kimberly lol

We're gonna head out to the Kootsie Ball in downtown Buffalo. Kootsie Ball
Creative black tie makes it REAL interesting. We went to it a couple years ago - it's a charity event and that year the SPCA was the charity. So we volunteered to help and got in for free.
This year Bruce's buddy Keith bought tickets for us to go. He's also making a suit for Bruce to wear. I have NO idea what it will be make out of...
Actually, knowing Keith... that's kinda scary...

I hope one of my neighbors doesn't decide to have one of his all night shindigs. If he wants to party to twelve, I have no objections to that. But the last time he was rattling my windows til 4 in the morning playing RAP with some kind of high-powered stereo. And he lives across a 40 acre block from me. I asked him nicely to turn it down and he did...when he got good and ready about 45 minutes later. This time I'll just call the sherriff's dept.

Oh Wayne, don't get me started. Our neighbors are so close that you could probably reach out and touch them. The ones to the left us us decided to buy their 14 year old a DRUM SET! AND they put it on the back patio instead of inside. He was banging away yesterday and I finally lost it on him. Told him he had to find another place to put it. He just stood there and looked at me. I may have to kill him.
The house behind them, they have 3 pit bulls and they can see beneath the fence on a fairly busy street. Anyone who walks by or any loud truck or car, they go off barking. I've been complaining to Animal Control since April. I may have to kill those neighbors too. I'm THIS CLOSE to saying screw it and sell my house and move. I'm dying to get out of this god-forsaken sand trap anyway.

Dave and I will join a few of our friends for dinner. We'll be having Shabu Shabu. This is Japanese cooking where you use a broth and each person cooks their food as you sit and talk around the table. Food cooked is steak sliced very thinly, tofu, and assorted veggies. Then at the end, with that broth full of flavor, you put in Japanese noodles and have a kind of soup. I will also bring some over some sushi, and we'll be popping some of the bubbly too!

A slumber party with a group of friends - flannel jammies and all. Several of them are gourmet chefs so dinner will be great, followed by lots of prosecco (from our recent trip to Italy), playing dominoes or card games and watching a movie or two. I'm in charge of making the crepes for breakfast on New Year's Day.

I was a part time musician for about twenty years. So every New Years eve, I was in some bar or club playing the heck out of it for a bunch of non appreciative partiers and drunks. Ask me why I dont drink. This year will be like the last few. Home with the family, and listening to the local boneheads shooting off their guns at midnight.

Sue & I will have a quiet night and probably crash before midnight watching the firework display on TV.
That is if we don't win the special Lotto draw at 7pm tonight. $31M (lump sum ... tax free!) Hard to comprehend that sort of money. Work would definately not be an option. !!!!!
Anyway, all the very best for 2005 ... see you on chat tomorrow night

True homebodies here! Hubby starts work at midnight but no matter, we'd be home anyway. I may bang some pots and pans outside with cody before his bedtime to ring in the new year. (no way is he staying up till midnight, he's out of control by 9:30 pm!)
Once he's in bed, I'll go pop open a cooler or bottled caesar I already have chilled or 2 or 3 and join you in chat! See you tomorrow night! Now you east coasters, remember us west coasters are 3 hours behind you so ensure you ring in our new year with us too! See you at 3am???? LOLOL
Food... no idea. Depends if we're home or not. I may bake a chicken dinner with roasted potates and veggies with a special sauce on it, that's super easy and only takes 2 hours unattended. Can't get easier than that! Then while that's baking, play cody's new spongebob nintendo game or air hockey or lego or Playdoh Shrek's rotton root canal or ....
I remember one very memorable new years. I was at a friend's house party and we started dancing outside at midnight. Remembering this is a place that rarely snows, it started snowing right then! It was truely beautiful.
Another one was cody's first new years with us. He was only 7 months old, but his routine called for a feeding close to midnight. He got to ring in the new year at the right time with us, it brought tears to our eyes to have him there, really unbelievable.
Let the fun begin! Make it special! Make it yours!

Home! It's a beautiful evening here so far. May stay up, may not.

Amatuer Night! Friday AM we will head to So-Cal for Rose Bowl game with a bunch of friends via RV. One of our hosts there are getting ready to throw a small party for us,....we'll try to behave. I seen some RV's on the News that were floating down some streams in Arizona as the soutwest really got drenched,...maybe we should bring "oars". I just got back from South Lake Tahoe late Tuesday where it had been snowing all day and now I heard that the Grapvine had CHP escorts due to snow.

Bought Em' about 20 bucks worth of fireworks. She'll fall asleep by 10 or 11pm, I'd like to shoot em' around 9 if I can get her to wait that long. She suggests we do them immediately at dark...
Since school starts back Monday, we really need to start crashin' early to get in habit for the upcoming routine. . . I keep harpin' on this, but so far, during the end of this 3 week school holiday, we've gotten no 8:30 bedtimes in . . .
. . .might make the CHAT and ring in the new year with y'all . . . .
We rented some movies, and plan to clean house on New Year's day, since we have company comin' for dinner Sunday.
Wayne & Kimberly, I used to live right in town on the main 5-lane drag, zoned commercial & residential. I did'nt mind New Years Eve fireworks goin' off the entire night and most of New year's day. But we had to get back to work & school on the 2nd and they'd wanna shoot fireworks like that for the next 2 or 3 nights!!
One year in particular, the law got something like 20 calls in less than an hour from the working class in our area, me among them. I recall the neighborhood got deathly quiet shortly afterwords except for the normal noise of the occasional 18 wheelers roaring by, then the imps would shoot off the fireworks as the truckers rolled thru . . .

Going to my brother Rege's again this year, with a light heart. There is another new baby girl to hold, a ton of food to nosh on, and a hot tub to sit in. (But I won't)
I'll leave just after midnight and drive home to call Stevo. I get to ring in 2005 twice this year! It's nice to have someone, even if they are 2,000 miles away. Just knowing he's there means the world to me.
I think he's flying me up again in early February for our 1-year anniversary. Hopefully that will be the last time I have to fly to Edmonton. Then he can come down here once his papers are in order, and we can be together NEXT New Year's Eve! Love & Happy New Year to all of yins. Jill

We'll be doing our usual NYE thing. Kids have a couple friends over and everybody makes their own pizzas ... lots of munchies ... pop open the bubbly (sparkeling grape juice) for the ball drop. Some years I stay awake some not, either way I catch crap that I wont.

I hear you Mark, even if my husband was home the chances that he'd manage to stay awake are virtually none. Hahaha I figure as long as I make it to midnight on the East Coast I've seen the ball drop and I'm good.

Maybe we'll have some friends over, shoot the tater cannon a few times. Eat some blackeyed peas and hawg jowls and shoot the shotgun at midnight. Or go coon huntin'. But after 12 I'm goin'to bed. Got some projects I want to do tomorrow and I can be slightly cranky if I lose a night's sleep. Y'all have a happy new year.

First time in probably 20 years we are going out...but there is a reason...everyone here knows "Coop" (David Cooper / Enid Oklahoma) he plays base in a band that is playing at the Moose Lodge In Enid Oklahoma ...since I belong to the Moose and we have become good friends we're headed to Enid tonite (about 100 miles north of here) we'll do the New Years experience spend the night at Coops and head home in the morning.

Woke up in front of the TV at 11.45pm last night in time to catch the Sydney Fireworks display.
Sue & I shared a cuddle and a kiss then off to bed.
Didn't win the big $31m Lotto! Oh well ... life wasn't made to be easy. Glad I didn't get the 6 numbers tho. Would have been a big "let-down". The $31m was shared amoung 54 winning tickets!!!!! A bit more than $500,000 each!

WE stayed in. I made some huge broiled scallops. Ernie & I took trip down memory lane. We looked at the slides we took on our honeymoon----a 10 day cross country train trip to Seattle,Portland, Glacier Park and Victoria in Vancouver. How I would love to go back to Oregon and Seattle! That was 28 years ago.
