I probably won't be able to spend much time on here tomorrow, so I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Happy New Year!!  I can't believe it's going to be 2014 already!

So, what are y'alls plans and, more importantly, what are you wearing!?!?!?  We are going to dinner with two other couples, then heading to a party at my uncles house and then going to another friends house to end the night.  I'm really excited about dinner because it's at one of my favorite restaurants!  I know I had asked for opinions on a couple different outfits for New Years in another post, and I ended up getting the red dress everyone loved.  I like it, but I also ordered this midnight blue halter top, open back, loose leg jumpsuit and H and I both liked it better on me than the red dress.  It's sexy but not over the top and I love it!  I got some amazing gold shoes and jewelry to go with it and I can't wait to get all dressed up!

Re: Happy New Year!

  • Happy New Year!  Have so much fun at all of your events :)  Please take pictures of you all dressed up and share!

    I was in a bad car accident on 4th of July a few years ago, so I am afraid to drive or be in a car on nights where large amounts of people have been drinking.  H and I are staying in and cuddling on our couch.  It'll be our last quiet, just us, NYE for a long time :)  We'll eat junk food and hopefully, I'll make it to midnight.  My sexy outfit will be sweatpants.  H will be equally as dressed up.
  • Happy New Year to you as well!! Sounds like you definitely have an awesome outfit planned.

    DH and I are actually going to see our local hockey team play. I'm really excited about that since I'm a bit of a sucker for hockey.

    I'll consider it a small miracle if I'm up till midnight. Last year, DH and I both fell asleep and woke up to fireworks going off at 12. Whoops.

  • @ystaalenburg I can't wait to see pictures of your outfit!

    We are having friends over to our house for game night. I'm hoping to get out of work early today to finish up some cleaning around our house and get a nap in. I plan on being comfy in jeans and a sweater. No sense getting dressed up to stay home. This will also be our last low key NYE for quite a few years :)

  • I agree @ystaalenburg I want to see pics :)

    We have to leave at like 4 am on the 1st for PA, so tonight we will just be boring.  Packing and wrapping presents in our jam jams (I just started calling pajamas jam jams, no clue...lol).  We will probably split a bottle of champagne though.  

    Have fun everyone!!!

  • We have no idea.  DH wants to go to a friends house to BBQ... It's -7 outside, the high for today is zero.  How do you BBQ in that kind of weather?  I'd be ok with this plan but the roads are glare ice.  Chemicals and salt no longer work at that temp.  I had to brake, on the highway, on my way into work and almost hit the car in front of me because I started going sideways.  Couple that with drunk drivers, I'm nervous to go out this year.  I think it's a good year to spend on the couch!
  • @ystaalenburg, your plans sound so fun! I can't wait to see pics!

    H and I are staying in tonight...booo. I wanted to go to our favorite restaurant, but I'm just getting over a stomach bug and it wouldn't be a wise idea. H is working today until 5 and tomorrow 7am-5pm. He really got screwed and worked EVERY SINGLE HOLIDAY this year. I think that since he's leaving in 2 weeks, his boss just thought it was ok to make him miserable.

    Tomorrow, I have to run to the lab for a few minutes and then pack, pack, pack! We're moving in 2 weeks and NOTHING is packed.

  • Happy new years everyone!

    We're staying in with the kids. We will be leaving 3-4 am (hopefully after drunks are home) to come home.

  • @sjs1013 and @WillyH19 - Enjoy your last free years!! lol, jk.  Seriously, though.  I am so excited for you two and wish you guys the best for your new families in 2014!

    @consciousdear88 - Have fun at the hockey game!  I've always wanted to go to one just to see the fighting :)

    @frank139 - as much as I love dressing up and going out, staying in my jam jams (:P) all night sounds amazing!  But, since we didn't get to celebrate Christmas because we were sick, I'm really looking forward to seeing friends and family tonight.

    @Seipel12 - Umm, heck no!  I would not be going anywhere if the weather were like that here.  I'm b*tching because it's going to be a low of 40 tonight! Ha!

    @Nic12184 - Good luck with packing and sorry your H had to work every holiday.  I hope his new job treats him better and you guys don't have to deal with that next year.

    @Mana8503 - Have fun with the kids and be safe driving home!

    I'll be sure to post pics of my outfit and maybe get a couple close up shots of my makeup and hair for the girly girls on here :)  Everyone stay safe tonight and whatever you're doing, have a blast doing it!  2014 is going to be a great year!

  • We are going to DHs uncles house. It will probably be pretty tame since DHs grandfather just passed away in Sunday so no one is really in the mood for partying. It will still be nice to be around family though.
