Happy New Year!

[monkeybard]

I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Year's Eve celebration!  We certainly did at our house.  Lots of good friends and too much good food (although not as much too much as in past years, thank the gods!) and the fireworks on the Needle actually went off this year. ;)  sunkrux, you were missed!

Now much of the mess is cleaned up, only one wine glass was broken and that was as I took it out of the dishwasher this a.m., We have so much open wine red that I'm seriously considering going to PCC for onions and beef broth so I can make French onion soup tonight just to use up some of it.  No one appears to have left any dishes behind for once.  And all the frozen nibblies that I bought are still frozen.  *sigh*  That's what I get, I suppose, for trying to plan.  Still, I had one of jaunthie's yummy whole wheat chesse scones for breakfast (and I'll probably have another in a mo) and it was lovely with my morning java (which had a splash of leftover hot buttered rum in it).  Feeling is still returning to my toes from the ridiculously high heeled shoes I wore last night--but at least I got my $3 out of them in one night!  I can send them back to Value Village knowing they have served their purpose in my life. ;)  Okay.  Methinks it's time for another cuppa java.

Happy New Year, all!

( <-- there's your next cup of coffee, right there in the icon )

Ah, but you know what would have happened if you hadn't gotten food: everyone would have descended like locusts, and wondered where more food was. And now you've got food for...whatever. An impromptu party for you, NordicBoy, and the True Ruler of the House (the cat).

Happy New Year, and thanks for having us all over!!

Mmm...coffee!

You know, it's true. It's like the old umbrella conundrum.

Thanks for coming last night! :)

Aw, I miss you guys too. I spent the evening alone, watching S7 of Gilmore Girls until after 2 a.m. Wasn't quite like spending the evening with you lot, but hey, don't know anyone in my area to party with.

[monkeybard]

Well at least Lorelei and Rory are good company. ;)

Yes they are, even if S7 was pretty much a suck fest until they busted up Christopher and Lorelai and got "back to basics" as it were with the show.

It was (another) very enjoyable party! We had a great time and great food!

I hope you have a blast on your trip. I am looking forward to hearing all the details!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to playing snowshoe badminton again.

Glad you guys could make it last night! It was great to see you both. :)

So what was the New Year's Day marathon that you watched?

[monkeybard]

Oddly enough, I chose not to watch any. I considered turning on the Monk marathon, but decided against it. Instead, I worked on my current manuscript, and then walked to the store in the in the afternoon so I could make French onion soup for dinner. Yum!

It was a great party - fisherbear and I had a great time! I hope you had a nice, quiet, sufficiently caffienated day to recover.

Thanks for joining us for the NYE fun! Today was nicely quiet and sufficiently caffeinated, thanks. And now I'm making French onion soup. Mmm...soup!
