What's Happening New Year's??

[Ponyup]

We went to a friends house. They had all been drinking since 5 when we got there at 8 so they were pretty drunk & obnouxous. so my husband & i and another party goer that arrived late, played cards most of the night. There was a lot of drama. One of the drunk party goers was carring the hostess (who knows why) & dropped her into a wall. She began wailing & her drunk husband wouldn't let sober me take a look at her to make sure she was okay. This was at about 11:30; so my husband & I cleaned up their kitchen & put everything away. Waited til the ball dropped & then headed home. We drove our other friend to our house because she didn't feel she could drive, because of the amount she had to drink & the weather (8 inches had fallen while we were there). She crashed at our house. Every year at their house is an adventure to say the least, but at least the rest of the drunken party goers spend the night there so they were safe.

That is 3/4 of the reason we quit going OUT to celebrate. Don't know why people have to get so drunk out of their minds to enjoy something. I just don't get it. I drank one beer with my seafood supper and that was it. The other 1/4 reason is because I don't want to be out on the road with these people behind the wheel of a car. I'll just keep my family home where it's safe.

Sorry didn't mean to preach...there are other places you could go without dealing with drunks all evening. Maybe invite a few people to your place.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Angie and Sheryl, I hope 2008 has you both feeling better.

Janet - I should have come over and then skipped over to Mandy's for good food.

I stayed home too - I never go out New Year's Eve - too many drunks on the road.


I dinner plans with a friend, but realized I really didn't want to drive. She didn't mind.
I fell asleep and lucky me!....I woke up at a quarter to 12!

I watched the ball come down,l welcomed in 2008 and went back to sleep happy.

I was so pleased to see Dick Clark - he looks and sounds a lot better. I'm glad the media realized that you don't have to be young and perfect - you can even be disabled and still be on TV. It was really nice to see that.
