I am home, still in PJ's, Abby's finally asleep and I really should be in the shower, cleaning, doing laundry, etc :-) Instead, I'm procrastinating and putzing.
What's everyone doing for New Year's? Our usually partners in crime are in VT or in NY for the holiday :-(
I did hear of a Portland Pirates Kid friendly NYE celebration with fireworks inside, etc. Sounded like a lot of fun.
Re: New Year's plans?
Probably nothing. We aren't big fans of NYE and with James, we're even less likely to do anything. We used to have a couple or two of friends come up or we'd go down to MA to have an evening of good food and going to bed by 12:30, but that's gone with kids. Last year my parents came up and we ate and played games and hung at home.
This year I suspect we'll just have a nice dinner, a movie, and then maybe go to bed before midnight hits!!!
I was thinking it would be fun to have a fake New Years party with Nesties where we ring in "midnight" at like 7 or 8, but I don't want to host it and I don't think I even want to go out. Maybe next year!
Honestly, I'll probably be asleep by midnight! I'm supposed to be in Camden the next morning for a 5K and I don't want to be dragging tooooo badly for that.
Because I'm an uber nerd, I've already written a new year's blog post which is ready to post that day, so I guess that will be my only real celebration. I'm totally okay with that this year though. Just not really feeling up to going out I guess!!

Our plans this year are to head to Foxwoods. Not normally my cup of tea, since I'm not a fan of losing money... However, the point of us going this time is for the Sarah McLachlin concert on the evening of the 1st!!! She's the last of my top 3 to see in concert - DMB and BNL are the others, love them!
Unfortunately, this "package deal" comes with time spent with the gambling addict friend (who was able to get our 2 tickets free, due to his gambling) BIL and SIL (who stole our spotlight by having a disgustingly extravagant wedding 2.5 months after our budget wedding, and who have now announced that they're pregnant too - after only a home pregnancy test). And, the 5 of us are all staying in one room the whole weekend.
I have very mixed emotions about the weekend...
My Wedding Bio! Not updated in a LONG time!
I am thinking Chinese food and a movie as well. I may start drinking early though since I will be at home and have the whole day to do nothing
We have Christmas at DHs mom's on NYD. Shitastic Chinese Auction, here I come!
