Well, actually, no, but i look forward to this as much or more than a party. For the past 8 years, my hubby and i get a movie (usually a video of a classic rock band's concert), get pizza, snacks and booze (!) and stay home, just the two of us (with the cats), and see the new year in together. i'm not a 'drinker' per se, but i have nothing against it, and like to try to get drunk once in a while! (Notice i said 'try'- i'm old- usually i have 3 drinks and fall asleep!). But this way, i can get as goofy as i want, won't be driving anywhere, and when i wake up in the morning, i'm pretty sure who'll be waking up next to me! ;o)
My biggest dilemma is what to drink - a lot of people i know have a 'trademark' drink - they'll always have wine, or Long Island Iced Teas,or Margaritas, whatever; but i just want something new every time. Being
a most -of -the- time nondrinker, i like sissy drinks like Kaluha and cream, Pina Coladas, Irish Cream, stuff like that, but they get sickening sweet after a few, so i have to go to slighty more potent things. So this year it will just be diet cola and Rum (which has NO carbs, by the way!), and/or Strawberry Margaritas.
Anyone have any favorites to recommend? i'm open to suggestions!
Still remembering the December of 2004, when DH had had intestinal surgery, and was in the hospital that entire month, coming home ON January 1, 2005, So i stayed home alone that New Year's Eve, feeling
sorry for both of us, (even though he had almost died, he was doing much better, so i should not have felt so bad, but even the night before he was released, we hadn't been informed yet and i didn't yet know when he'd be home).
So anyway, i am thankful every New Year's Eve that we can celebrate together, and i wish everyone a fun and safe New Year's Eve, whatever your chosen kind of celebration is!
