New Year's Eve plans? (Read 616 times)

We never venture far from home on NYE and this year will be no different. We'll have a small party with some friends and lots of kids. It'll be a night of air hockey tournaments, pool, ping-pong, loud music, lots of food and then heading out to the deck for the midnight fireworks put on by our various neighbors. We toast with our drink of choice (the kids get sparkling cider in cordial glasses, we get wine glasses). Tradition for our children is that at midnight they are allowed to scream and holler at the top of their lungs while outside. We even give them a one-at-a-time chance to yell something to the world. We allow this to go on for about 20 minutes and then we send them all back inside to spare the neighbors. By the time the night is over I'll have no voice and my face will hurt from laughing so much! I was just wondering what everyone else is doing.

I'll probably try to catch the bunny.

A evening of a few good, close friends, exceptional food and really good wine. Typically, our 'foodie' hosts put on a meal worthy of Chef Ramsay et al. at the Food Network. I work in concert with my 'chef' and play at sommelier to find the perfect wines to accompany the meal. Research often takes several weeks, if not months (seriously). They are usually very old, very French and very expensive. Jackets for the men. Dresses for the ladies. It is first-class all the way - until the Old Sam's attacks, when my wife can oft be heard yelling 'Drink it, you p*ssy' and that was when she was 7 months pregnant (she was not drinking). Nuf said.

Going to a party with the JDRF peeps--fun bunch, so it should be a good time. I might do a 6 mile race the next AM, so I'll be taking it easy (gotta be DD, too). k

That, and re-setting all my bike computer odometers to zero... did

I'll probably stay home and go to bed between 9 and 10, just like I always do.

Unfortunately for me i'll be working...I'm a bartender at one of the big nightclubs here in shreveport so i'll be getting everyone else drunk :O) Hopefully i'll be making a lot of money doing it too I did the same thing last year and we had a great time!!

Drunk people are great buyers and tippers ("round of shots for everyone!!" - sat night ... "how on earth did I spend so much $$$$ last night?!" Hope it's a lucrative night for you!

Funny...I was thinking I might be running 22 miles just to make the 1000 miles. We shall see. Probably going to some friends for deer and beer. Cook some good food and thank god that the days are getting longer. We'll let the kids shoot off fireworks while we shoot tequilla. I am flying to Texas on the 1st so I can't get too drunk...can I?
