Happy New Year ladies!
We spent a quiet New Years Eve here at home. I've developed like a superstition about leaving home on New Years Eve in the past few years, ever since Greg & I got together everytime we go anywhere on New Years Eve we somehow manage to have car trouble, and it doesn't matter what we are driving either so I'd rather be home than be out and about and have some new disaster crop up especially with all the kids.
Greg went in to town and grabbed some movies and loads of food, he brought chinese, mexican and sonic too lol so needless to say we were pretty stuffed by the time we started the movie. We only managed to watch one last night, one was more than enough for me tho! We watched Jeepers Creepers 2 and omg! I was worse than a nervous wreck! We had to pause it while I went to get Angela a bottle and just as I got to the doorway goober boy made some kind of noise or said something to me, I don't even know which to tell the truth, anyway..I screamed at the top of my lungs, it scared the daylights out of me, I was so sure I had been "got"! I was so terrified by the time the movie was over the only room I could go in alone was the kitchen! Ya know I love my sweetpea, but dadgum he can be so mean! lol ohhhh but I did manage to get him back a little lol he was in the kitchen pouring the margaritas and I stepped to the kitchen door and calmly said Boo! it was so funny, he almost dropped the blender! rofl I think he was a tad more scared than he admitted because he fought in his sleep alot, I ended up getting clobbered just as I was dozing off lol, but you know sweet innocent me ;) I let it go...NOT! rofl I have really poured on the guilt trip today ;)

We opened the champagne just in time to drink a toast as they dropped the ball in New York, and then we had our own countdown and another toast an hour later. It felt funny tho toasting twice, but there's no countdown or anything in our time zone, well if there is we don't know it lol, we usually don't toast or anything except for our time zone, but I told Greg I wanted to say I rang it in with my net buddies, and then I could ring it in again with the locals lol I did do something this year that I never do, I called my mom at a few minutes after midnight and wished her a Happy New Year, one of my cousins that we lost a few years back always called at midnight and she had mentioned that she missed those calls so I thought it would be fun to bring back a few memories.
We had our New Years dance and then watched some tv and he dozed off so I sat and finished another book lol I only had like 20 chapters left and well I couldn't go to bed without finding out what happened lol

What are you doing for New Years Eve?
details are right up yonder ;)

Do you always have champagne when the clock strikes midnight?
not usually, but we did this year (it's too hard to find a champagne I like so we usually stick to other stuff)

What are your New Year resolutions if any?
hmm.. I haven't really made any yet..

When you were a child did you ever go outside and make a ton of noise when midnight struck?
nope never did, I was usually busy reading on the years I stayed awake lol I guess some things never change ;)

Hi Aretha, I love the new look in here. I chuckled reading your description of the horror film Jeepers Creepers 2. I haven't seen it yet. Usually horror flicks don't bother me as I'm too busy looking at the special effects and trying to figure them out. LOL! Have a great Friday my friend. ~hugs~
