I typically like watching the ball fall in New york and this year would have been my sons first time staying up this late. Except we got him animal crossing, a gamecube game he had been wanting and they had their own countdown, so this is what we did, a countdown a a game..lol But it was worth it, my son loved watching his charactors dancing and counting down to the new year..

Maybe we will watch the ball next year.

How did you bring in the New Year?

I was up with another coughing fit playing Mafia Wars on Facebook. I had planned on taking my sick butt to bed before the midnight, but I could not sleep through the coughing. I am normally in bed asleep when the new year rings in anymore.

Aww, I am sorry you were sick, I have been there before, sick on christmas or new years and it is not any fun..:(
At least you have a computer, I would have to watch tv or something if I had to be up sick..

Hope you are feeling better now.:)

I was sick on Christmas AND New Years. Talk about not fun. I am feeling a little bit better now, but not great. Thanks for the well wishes.

thumbupGoing to a Chinese restaurant and watching two old movies, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir plus Ball of Fire. Both 1940s. My husband had bought the old movies on DVD a long time ago and I had never seen them. I loved them both.


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12186)   ranked 2 out of 518 in holidays  3 years ago

That is interesting, hope you had a great time..:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7225)  3 years ago

We did, the Buffet was only $5 and a little change per person and they had at least 20 choices of food to eat. Drinks were extra and $4.50, but if you had tea (like my husband) refillable, if you had juice like me, not.

DVDs were free and ones he had for a long time. So if we had known about the drinks (most are around $2.00 and many are refillable in our area) and just ordered water, the entire thing could have been a little over $10. Actually, I think the drinks were around 2 because the bill came to $14.99 (so both drinks together must have been $4.50). At any rate, of course there was the tip, but most places around here were charging $30 for New Year's Eve stuff, but that included dancing and we didn't dance at the Chinese Res., but we can do that for free at home.

So did you and your family have a good time for New Years?

I was in the beginning stages of a cold, so I went to bed. I may be an old party pooper, but I've found out that the New Year comes whether I'm there to see it or not.

Since we are in Cali the ball had dropped everywhere already. My hubby is a "Burn Notice" addict and all day New Years Eve USA had a marathon, so we were up watching "Burn Notice" at midnight here. Instead of our usual champagne we opened a bottle of sparkling apple cider and did our toast routine happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12186)   ranked 2 out of 518 in holidays  3 years ago

I had rum and eggnog, but too tired to enjoy it much..:(


myLot reputation of 94/100. sedel1027 (12989)  3 years ago

That stinks. I missed our normal toast. I can't complain though. last year he was in boot camp for New Years and I missed his call home that they let the married guys do. This year was a much better New years! Next year we'll be back to drinking the bubbly, I won't be pregnant and he won't be on medication for his shoulder.

hi Carmela I was messaging with my closest friend till about 11:45 pm my time and then I told her I had better get out of the computer room. Simply because I did not want to answer the phone after midnight when friends or family would call and fill them in on the fact we are not on speaking terms with each other again and that I was seeing the New Year alone in my small room with a nice bit of something to drink of course as well and some snacks normally forbidden for diabetics.


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12186)   ranked 2 out of 518 in holidays  3 years ago

I don't think it is bad to occasionally have a forbidden snack, that keeps you from binging on those things when you crave them..I am glad you enjoyed your treats and hope you are back to eating healthy again..:)


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (16793)  3 years ago

grin.... not entirely back to healthy eating again due to stress (at work not home. My home situation does not bother me at all), but on a good way for sure.

I had a really exciting New Years Eve! I got to bring Bill home from the hospital on Wednesday and he is splitting his time between his house (to sleep. He can't manage to get out of my sloshy waterbed) and my place during the day and most of the evening.

I had started to clean the kitchen cupboards when Bill needed to come down. So I dropped everything and brought him down to my house and sat with him through the day. Then after I took him home I finished cleaning up the kitchen and sorting the cupboards. Before I knew it, it was nearing midnight. I watched them celebrate the New Year on Disney Channel West. I had to back up the recorder on the dish tuner so that I could watch it. Exciting huh? We'll have to wait to see what the end of the year brings.

That sounds wonderful, I am happy you had a Great New Years..:)

A countdown game ... kinda cool :) I didn't ring in the New Year this year... I was asleep before 10 pm LOL


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12186)   ranked 2 out of 518 in holidays  3 years ago

Hey Raz, one of my fav friends who I have not heard from in a long time...How have you been? Hope you had a good hanukkah, I had a really good one this year, so peaceful and fun..:) (And I still use some of those recipes you shared with me..:) )

The game was animal crossing, a game where you have this town and you just go down to this spot in your town and there are 3 of your 12 neighbors there dancing and waiting for the midnight hour. Then this sign appears that says "Happy New Year."

It was silly, but my 7 y/o loved it..:)

We usually do fireworks, but our neighbor had lost her mother on the 27th, so in respect for her we didn't do anything too noisy..
