There you go, Mocha! I was wondering about a So Cal meet and a No Cal meet getting together via telephone or something like that? Oh, an East Coast and West Coast via telephone? Unless Mama wants to fly down here????

I'm going to see the 1pm matinee of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at OC Performing Arts Center and then meeting a friend for an early dinner (we haven't determined where) that will be VERY local. I'm not going to be out driving that evening, for sure.

Staying home, watching my nieces and maybe some of my nephews, not drinking, and hosting a little party with snacks and sparkling cider for the kids. Darren and I will do the designated driver for anyone who needs a safe ride home. We've never enjoyed going out NYE, always stay sober, and offer to watch kidlets for people who want to go to a party, or be their ride when they need to go home.

Staying home. I hope some people will be here and not in chat because I cannot get in there. I will get myself some sparkling cider, a cheese and meat platter, crackers, mustard and eat in the new year.

We are staying home. We are going to go out and buy some crab and have a wonderful dinner. Maybe some champagne. I'm sure my son will have some friends over as well.

We stay home for New Year's Eve. We used to go out years ago but we found it was doubly expensive and the food was rushed and never as good as other nights. So we have a big dinner at home with Lobster and Steak and then we have cheese and crackers and shrimp and champagne! LOL – Last year we told the girls (6 & 4 last year) that they could stay up with us. We figured that they'd fade out about 9:30 but they stayed up for the whole thing and had a lot of fun!

Yeah I won't be straying far..we have plenty of restaurants between me and my friend and she's only a mile as the crow flies (probably two due ti a major street closure) and even the OC Performing Arts Center is maybe 5 miles away, and I have a good back street, no freeway route to and from.

I don't like being out on the road either. I usually stay home but find that I can't stay awake until midnight...

In Santa Ana I had to stay up (and home), worrying about gunshots and bottle rockets and keeping the dog and later cat downstairs and ME downstairs too. Here that isn't much of a problem, a few shouters or some fireworks, but not many, since there aren't any that are legal here and luckily so far people in FV aren't into celebrations with gunshots straight up in the air..

Would you believe they opened razor clam digging here in Ocean Shores over New Years weekend! So we are getting company for that. They are going to freeze their little patooties off...it really is freezing and that ocean water is cold. LOL Rosie...I can't stay awake either. Seamonkey..they can shoot off fireworks on the beach here but there will be all those irate clam diggers worrying the noise will make those clams go deep. There will be a few confrontations I'm sure. This was not the smartest move to open clam season this weekend.

Will be going to a friend's NYE party but have to leave at 10PM so I can get up at 5:15 for work the next morning. (Not really into New Year's anyway, so no biggie )

None of our beaches allow fireworks (at least not private ones and they don't have public ones at NY) I think only three or four cities allow them at 4th of July and I had the misfortune to live in one for 7 years and another for almost 10. In Fullerton there was a roof fire every year from bottle rockets, so I got so I just stayed home most years even in my heavily social years, because I had three labradors and wanted to keep them inside and of course be ready to watch the street and roof. We have such a storm system offshore that we've had all sorts of wave, swell, riptide etc warnings so they don't want people on the beach without being really aware these days. Good news for the clams, huh?

I can't wait til NY's day. Besides the Rose Parade, HGTV will be showing their dream home 2007 and a new show starring Ed Begley Jr. The greenest man in Hollywood. He makes toast by powering his toaster with an exercise bike! LOL He also drives his wife crazy. It looks like it will be pretty good.

Twinkie, I keep seeing the commercials for Ed's show and it looks like it's going to be a funny one.

Hehe, Rosie, if I dragged Darren and the kids to the Rose Parade, keeping in mind people get there a day or so ahead, with cold temps and sitting outside all that time, do you know how much whinning and crying would go on? And there's no telling how the kids and Darren would react!

Rosie, I think I've only been to the parade one time.. probably 1959 when we moved here and my dad was all excited and we got up early and it was 32 which of course wasn't that cold to us since we had just moved from Detroit and we went up and of course were several rows back on the sidewalk so I guess my dad could see the most but he wasn't all that tall, like 5'9".. mom being about 5', me being about the same, and my brother still being shorter.. so all of my pictures were the back of people and the tops of floats A couple of years we just went up to see the floats after the parade. But I'm boycotting this year after they treated Stephanie Edwards so badly last year and now she is just GONE... I mean I'm boycotting the tv broadcast. War, they might like going to see the floats the next day..well Darren and Caleb, maybe not.. but I wouldn't urge it on anyone.
