Re: New Years Eve

  • Nope.  Nada.  We'll go to my parents for dinner and then just head home for a low key night.  I'm a little bummed about it but we haven't had a normal "just the 3 of us night" since before Christmas.  It will be nice.

  • We're going to a friends house.  And leaving T with my parents so we can easily go home at the end of the night.  We're doing a Penguin Plunge on new year's day, and my parents are going to bring T to the beach to meet up with us.  I sort of just want to stay home, but DH already said we would go and that he would make wings, so we're committed.


  • My sister throws a big party every year so we'll be going there.  J's parents are taking Wes overnight.  We'll probably rock out until 12:02 then rush home to have an interrupted, relaxed night sleep and sleep in.  I'm looking forward to it!

  • Nothing too exciting.  It's A's grandfather's birthday tomorrow so we're going to go cut a cake and then probably end up at a friend's house.

  • As far as I know, no plans. Most of my friends all have little kids now so no one wants to do anything or has mentioned anything.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    Date night. Sushi and drinks, and then we're headed to see Catching Fire (finally!)

    ETA: Resolutions - drink more water, organize/purge my house, cut out what's left of processed foods in my diet and work on reducing wheat and refined sugars and take a nice trip. I also have a few financial goals.

  • We'll have my family's birthday dinner for my nephew and then my friend and he girlfriend are coming over.  I have no clue what we are doing.

    I am working on some goals and resolutions.  I didn't do any for 2013 and this has been a pretty crappy year, so I am trying to get 2014 off to a better start.

  • Early in the evening (5pm) we are going to the fabulous ICE! Exhibit at the Gaylord National Harbor Hotel then we'll head back to the friends we are staying with and just have a chill night.

    Resolutions: Get all my in-laws cards out on time this year....this sounds dumb but I always leave this job up to my H (figuring if I take care of my side he can do his) but he never remembers to even buy cards until a few days after the bday, anniversary etc... has passed. So I'm just going to take charge! I'm also going to try and memorize 52 bible verses (one for each week).
  • We are going to our friends' house a street over (no driving for us!) and going to see a couple of movies tomorrow.

    As far as resolutions, I read this article yesterday (http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230333) and am trying to focus on not setting goals but improving my processes of life like being healthier, thinking more positively, and enjoying the small things more often.

  • I don't think we're doing anything for NYE. On New Year's Day we're running a 5K, it will be DH first ever 5K so figured it was a great way to kick off the new year!

  • We are going over to a friend's house and we are going to have a game night. There will be hundreds, no exaggeration, of games to choose from.
    We will probably be there well after midnight.

    As for resolutions. Hmm... I really just want 2014 to be a better year. 2013 was awful. Maybe I will keep the house cleaner. I want us to continue to bike ride for errands whenever possible. I want to remember how certain things I eat make me feel. I've already eliminated gluten because of celiac and chocolate because of panic attacks (a sad sad thing), so it's not a stretch to eliminate other foods that don't make me feel good and give me an inflammation response. I just need to do it.

  • We're going to my cousin's NYE bash at his condo on the beach. Every year there's a huge fireworks show right outside his window. It's going to be awesome. 

    My NY resolution is to take charge of my health. I need to shed some weight and start eating better/exercising and cooking more meals at home.

  • DH and I will be going over to someone's house and spending the evening with friends. Nothing too exciting. Just food and drinks. We were thinking about going to MIL's house because she wants to do fireworks and stuff but they live almost an hour away and we didn't want to be out that late.

  • @Menrandes - ICE! is totally awesome...we've gone every year it's been down at National Harbor (we used to live in Bmore) and I'm so excited that we haven't had to miss a year yet. It is completely worth it, so definitely go soon!
  • DH and I are making appearances at 2 NYE parties hosted by friends, using the other party as the reason for leaving both of them and being home by 10. We'll be ringing in the new year with a bottle of champagne, just us and the dogs, and we're both really excited about it :-)

    Not so much resolutions, but we've made a list of things we want to do this year- mostly events and little weekend trips we want to take. I'm definitely doing the whole eating better/working out more as well- but that's not necessarily NY related.

  • NYE is nearly always low key for us.  We will rent movies, open a nice bottle of wine and have an appetizer-style dinner.  Then we switch over at about 11:45 to watch the festivities in NY and see the ball drop.  We've tried going to parties, going to the big parties at clubs, etc and have found that we like this best.

  • No.  I have New Years babies and learned years ago that it sucks to be tired and hung over at your kids b-day party.  Plus its so hard to find a babysitter and any plans I make never seem to live up to my expectations.  We just stay home and fall asleep before the ball drops.

     

  • Not much! A is making dinner and we are having a couple friends over to play some games...simple and relaxing!

    Resolutions: take tons of pictures as my kids grow ;-) I guess I should actually think of some...
