Day One of . . .Year One??

[AntoniaB]

Punkin I was in a discussion with people on the alt last night about the choice to not go out NYE...and it all was started from a very funny article someone posted on cracked.com which was about how NYE was the worst holiday of all for various reasons. The article is hysterical, and several of us talked about how it could be just as fun to stay home if you made your own party, either with someone or alone :-)I have been planning to stay home alone and just act like it's any other night of the last nearly 600 nights I've been alone, but my mom is actually coming down to visit tomorrow, so she'll be here. Likely she'll go to bed at 10:30 :-)

I know a few single people paying a lot of money to go to parties, like 150 bucks to get in, at hotels and stuff, and they are pinning all their hopes (and cash) on meeting some great guy who will be their soulmate. Talk about setting yourself up for a downfall!

Personally I don't think I can take standing in some place with a whole bunch of people doing the New Year's kiss, or having to be crowded out of a seat by all the "amateur drinkers", as a friend calls them.

I think what this means is that I'm finally embracing my inner crazy cat lady, ha ha!

But you know, go with your gut. If you want to go out, go out, but if you want to stay in, you can kick a*s at that venture too and you're in great company the world over!!

Good luck with your painting tomorrow. I'm sure it will look wonderful!
