It's that time again. A tumultuous year has come and gone. It's place in history is set, probably even more than we can contemplate at this moment. Blessings for the new year to you all. Old friends, new ones, and friends-to-be are all a part of the year to come. I love to leave this song for everyone at New Years. "Five Hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, Five Hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear, Five Hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure, measure a year in daylights, in sunsets, in midnights and cups of coffee, in inches, in miles and laughter and strife, in five Hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure, a year in the life how about love, how about love, how about love, measure in love, seasons of love, seasons of love five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan, five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure the life of a woman or a man in truths that she learned, or in times that he cried, in bridges he burned or the way that she died its time now to sing out though the story never ends, lets celebrate remember a year in the life of friends remember the love, remember the love, remember the love, measure in love, seasons of love, seasons of love."

Thank you Darrell, I love that song! What's everyone doing tonight? Is anyone going to the tournament of roses parade tomorrow? We're doing our usual. Sis and bil are going to one of his brothers houses and they've already claimed the spare bedroom. We were invited but don't really like going out New Year's Eve, so we're staying home, watching the nieces and staying sober in case anyone wants a safe ride home.

Darrell, I love that song! I have the Rent cd in the car and can be seen singing and crying! (only when I'm alone in the car) I think there are more lyrics too, ("in diapers...") The song comes on 2 or maybe even 3 times on the cd that I have. We'll do what we usually do. Stay awake (or snooze on the couch) until midnight. Have a sip (me) or glass (hubby) of champagne (most of the bottle gets poured out a few days later), kids drink sparkling apple cider and watch the ball drop on tv. I don't know what kids might be home tonight. So far, no one has plans. Last year our middle daughter (almost 15 now) had a party here with her friends. It was very loud and fun and lots of confetti etc. I do want to avoid that this year though.

We will have friends over, should arrive any time now. We'll have smokies, layered taco dip, BLT dip, cookies, brownies, ice cream sundaes. May just be us and kids, and another couple and kids, possibly a couple of others. We'll play wii and board games and visit. I hear the dog barking, they are probably here. Have fun and stay safe everyone!! Happy new year!!

Staying in. Will have a few bacardi/diet cokes & bake a cake & maybe some cookies. I love baking when it's cold. Frank's a bit under the weather & is napping on the couch right now. I'm not alone though - I have my Lab, Beagle, & Weiner dog always keeping me company.

Happy New Year everyone (little early here on the west coast!) Looks like a lot of quiet nights for the rest of us. Bookie, I hope you have a fun party! I'm sick, fell asleep on the couch about 7 and woke up somewhere around 9:30. When I woke up, oldest niece and youngest were both asleep on the couch. Caleb went to bed not long after and then Darren at 10. Middle niece was asleep in my bed (her and Kota had been laying in my bed watching tv) when he went to bed. So here it is, not quite 10:30 and everyones asleep except for me and Kota, both bottles of sparkling cider are unopened and the cheese/fruit plate is untouched. LOL, no complaint, the kids have all been sick so no surprise they're all asleep.

Could be worse, Mame. I have no chest congestion this time around and that makes me very happy! We had a very noisy New Years, lol. Dakota woke my older nieces up and the girls partied it up (with the exception of baby niece who was howling and crying) for a couple minutes. Now we're all headed to bed. Night ya'll!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS! Yup, I barely managed to last til midnight, wanted to see if they did the fireworks from the Space Needle after all. Put on my muklucks & watched from my balcony. They seemed to do it, although not so big as usual. However, since Ivars Acres of Clams & Chowder pays for the fireworks, I would imagine in this business climate they would have to scale down. Fortunately, it's drizzling rain. LOT'S of bottle rockets going off across the street at the park. Pretty, but this is much less fire hazard. Night everyone! Happy Holidays.

I love that song, too! I've seen RENT 2x and would LOVE to see it again. Have the best of CD, not the whole sound track and that's my fav. song. Stayed home, had some fancy snacks, watched a DVD, watched the ball drop, had a glass of spumante (made me feel sick!) DH went to bed, DD and I watched another DVD. DS and GF got in around 3:00, DD pulled out the snacks for DS & GF, got all my stuff put away, finally crawled in bed and Law & Order is on. (Was glad to find that other than the umpteenth showing of Elf! LOL)

It's after midnight and you're making me hungry, Annie, lol. Well, all of the Christmas decorations are taken down, boxed up, and back in the garage. The house looks kind of empty. Tonight we had what's becoming a traditional after Christmas brag-fest, lol. Dakota's bff, and her brother (who is a buddy of Caleb's) came over to spend the night, hauling a box of stuff they got. They sat around playing with new toys and games and talking about all they got. It was a lot of fun. Now onto Valentine's Day! I'm not rushing another holiday, I promise, lol. For me, Valentine's Day is not really a big deal. I love Darren and enjoy showing it, but don't limit it to one day, so it's more for the kidlets that I decorate and make presents for. I'm getting into a new craft, making my own beads out of clay you bake, so pretty soon I'll be starting to make hearts and whatnot.

I finally got some polymer clay hearts finished yesterday (mostly finished, still need to bake them.) I'll be making necklaces for Kota and my nieces today or tomorrow with them. I'm pretty happy with the way the hearts turned out though I did end up using cookie cutters which worked well.
I'm enjoying my new craft and am considering making some seasonal (valentine's day, st. patricks day, easter, christmas, etc) drink coasters.
