Yrs ago when I was married I loved to have New Years Eve Party and usually the women did not drink so they could drive home and the ones who did, the couples stayed the night. Of course with divorce comes losing friends. Seems most of them were wives of my x's who either worked with him or was in Natl Guard with him. So I really did not have but 2 friends left. Over the yrs we have drifted apart. We had barbecues, fish fries, up to 100 people, friends and family. I do miss that but after 23 yrs I am use to being with smaller crowd. In fact I prefer smaller gathernings. Sorry, I got carried away. Hope you had a great New Yrs eve and You have a Happy New Year and safe New Yrs. ;) I usually stay home on new years eve as I did this yr.

I am a frequent lurker, but this is my 1st time commenting. :waving: I am really pretty boring... live near a tiny town in Ohio... have two healthy and ornery young sons... and I love to read romance! LOVE all of the Plotmonkey authors! :thumbsup: We stay home on NYE with the kids. Usually my parents come over and watch the ball drop on t.v. and then they leave and we are all in bed by 12:30! Man... if I won an online giftcard I would totally choose Barnes and Noble! I have been so busy before the holidays- I feel like it's been ages since I sat down with a book!

Also, it is my birthday so we always celebrate that too. Then, the third thing we always celebrate my hubby and I got engaged on New Year's eve. So, we always go out and have a fun time somewhere every year. This year we went out early because we are supposed to have a foot of snow here in Northwest Indiana. It is already snowing and the temps have dropped to the teens. So we celebrated tonight early, had lobster and prime rib dinners. Absolutely fantastic! We couldn't eat it all so we brought our leftovers home. We had a wonderful time and now we are home safe and sound. I wish everyone a fantastic New Year! :snowfight: Anyone want any snow? :newyear: My hubby and I always celebrate on New Year’s eve by going out to a fancy restaurant with friends.

It's fun, a little crazy but we like it. This year he is laid off and we don't have the money. But even more than that...we just don't feel the spirit.

My grandson, he was ten then, stayed with me, we spent the day watching Peter Jennings & seeing 2000 being celebrated all around the world then just before midnight he kept drifting off to sleep!! I kept having to say his name or shake him to stay awake, when it was midnight he sort of said yea & out he went! It was kind of funny as he was all excited about staying up until midnight. Since I've been single a good many years it has been a very long time since I did much to celebrate on NYE. One of my good friends & I used to get together, spend the evening talking, maybe drinking some champagne and eating whatever snacks we wanted. She passed away several years ago but NYE makes me miss her just a bit more because we had some good ones together. Since I am a night owl I'm often up until around midnight reading. Right now Leslie's book, Pitch Black, is keeping me reading until I can't keep my eyes open! :batteeyes: Whatever you do tonight enjoy, stay safe and look at the good things that will come about in the New Year. :cheers: :newyear: May the New Year bring you many good things, good health and time to read. :newyear:

I will be working tonite and doing a 16 hr shift for the police department. This is the night that the police do a lot of dui/dwi checkpoints. Please be careful if your driving tonite. I am 31 and I can't even recall when the last time I went out to celebrate the new year. I just think its just another night. I am sorry if people go out to Times Square but me, no way am I standing out in below freezing temperature to watch a glass ball drop. I can stay home (except for tonite) and watch the ball drop in the comfort of my own home. Hope everyone has a safe night.
