New Year's Eve

So I am torn on what to do for New Year's Eve. None of my friends seem to really have anything planned so I thought it would be a good idea to just host a party myself and whoever shows up, shows up. It would also be nice to have plans that keep me in the comfort of my home. I used to love hosting parties (and miss it terribly) and friends always make me happy.

This would be the first party I have hosted since DH and I split. It seems weird to have a party without him. I am not sure if it will leave me happy/hopeful or a bit down and out. So then I think maybe I should just spend the night alone....also I am pretty sure I will be the only single person at my own party (yeah all my friends are married) and right now I have no prospects of having a date. That is more superficial but still!

 

Re: New Year's Eve

  • So I forgot to actually put my question :P....how did you guys celebrate your first New Year's Eve after divorce?
  • You could always charge your friend's husbands the admission cost of one single friendWink

  • This is my first NYE and I have no plans yet.  It's XH's birthday so I will be happy to finally have a NYE that isn't a day full of complaining that he can't get a fix (like the past 2 years)

  • Last year my BFF and I went out on what was supposed to be a double date, but her guy had something come up, so there were just 3 of us.  We just did a low key dinner/comedy club deal they had downtown.  It was fun and they had a champagne toast at midnight.  And actually my best girl was my first official New Years kiss (seemed appropriate at the time - she and I were both getting divorced).

    This year I don't know what I'll do - I'm single and my BFF wants to do something at her boyfriends house (he'll have people over), but I'm worried they'll be all coupley together and I'll feel like a 3rd wheel...   

  • I'm actually taking my kids to Disney New Year's Eve.  Seems ridiculous, I know, but my wedding anniversary is 1/1 and I know I can't be home.  Last year on our 1 year wedding anniversary, I was just over a week out from finding out about the affair and I was a total mess. So I'm trying to replace the old not so pleasant memories with something fun with my kids!

    Yeah, I spent my first NYE by myself and it wasn't pretty. We were only split 3 months. I ended up getting wasted and sobbing hysterically on the phone with a friend who lives out of town. NOT.PRETTY. I would host a party, lol....

  • I went to visit a friend and we eventually ended up at a house party where I proceeded to get WAY drunk! We went back to her house and a cute guy from the party walked into the house a few minutes later and proceeded to be my "bedmate" for the night. No sex, but yeah I ended up with bite marks/bruises all over my neck... it was actually a nice kick start to the year ;)
