Well, I would say I'm sorry, but you're bringing in the bank, aren't you?

I'll admit I have an addiction to owning nice things.....paying for them sucks though! Work...buy...work....buy... lather, rinse, repeat!

Well I thought about going out with some friends to a local bar - but bars really aren't my thing, I don't like crowds and I don't really want to be out with the drinker either....so I'll probably stay at home with my Golden Girls DVDs and yeah...sad - but I'm also not feeling top notch this week - so whatever...boring ass New Year's - it'll be my first one without my family...

Hmmm I won't get to see Sydney fireworks this year...we are still the best in the world here by the way, if you have a list of things to do before you die, add seeing a sydney firworks display on new years eve to it, Aussies know how to party.

If you had to wake up in a gutter with a hangover on new year's day, you'd want it to be an Australian gutter.

Having said that I'm still going to do little more than just get depressed that yet another day of celebration is actually a piece of ****. That and get high.

Sorry Lux, that's where your wrong New Year's in winter is the only way to ring in the new year! Sitting by a fire, snuggling up to keep warm (drinking helps too) with the snow falling outside, thinking about (& appreciating more your upcoming vacation in some warm tropical island) is the best! Besides if your going to be hungover the next day, you might as well be in bed if the weather is cold & lousy and then you don't feel as bad wasting the day in bed!

I want to get the Golden Girls DVDs too. I had gotten a few gift certificates to a local shopping plaza which contains a Circuit City or as I now call them Circuit Sh*tty. Well, I went tonight and they were all sold out of them. I did finally get Seinfeld Season 3 (Did you hear that Alex!) and they matched Best Buy's sale price of $29.99 after I had to explain the ad to the dumb clerk. The line was 10 miles long so he just gave up and gave it to me for the sale price anyway.

I went to do a take order at Applebee's and got to deal with some more geniuses. Needless to say I really did not enjoy my meal.

Anyway here I am. I am going to maybe watch some of the Seinfeld DVDs and maybe watch some Mac DVDs.

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I am not feeling too well either so I understand. Better health in the New Year!

I'll watch the ball drop in Times Square on the TV. Yes, I lead a very exciting life. . . .

Without Dick Clark! Hoooooooray! I don't think he had a stroke, I think he finally melted.

We go to dinner every year with my best friend & her husband. After that, we're undecided.

We can go to a friend's house, but she lives kind of far away, so we'd either have to stay sober enough to drive home (BOO!) or spend the night on the floor.

OR

We can go to hubby's brother's house, which we usually do on NYE. They live walking distance away, which is a big plus. But then we'll have to deal with his sister, who, shall we say, "transforms" after a certain number of beers. She starts repeating herself & talking about how terrible she had it as a kid (which she didn't really.)

I've left it up to hubby to decide. I actually wouldn't mind staying home, sitting in front of the fire, playing some board/card games & getting smashed just the two of us - you know, real romantic like. We'll see.

Well my plans have been finalized...looks like I"ll be sitting around my place hopped up on cough/cold medication and trying not to get tired of the sounds of my own hacking cough.....haha..if I can actually stay up until midnight (because of all the meds. I'm on) then I will be on the phone with some family....

Not an eventful New Year's Eve for me....but I always get sick this time of year...blah...
