2013 is a’comin’!
- Resolutions set?
- Party plans made?
- Christmas decorations all put away?
- Count down started?
My answer to all those questions would be a loud, resounding, “NO!”
I still have my decorations up and my lights on.
Resolutions? Well, I’ve thought about them, but don’t know if I’ll write them down at all.
And a party? PARTY? I don’t think so.
The truth is, I remember very few parties I’ve given/attended on NYE in my life. As a kid when our parents would go to a New Years Eve Sunday School party, sometimes the other kids whose parents were at that party would come to our house.
Sometimes.
But I’ve never done the stuff you see on movies about cool parties. No balloon drops. No streamers. No sparkly balls dropping.
I did take G-Man to Eureka Springs to the Basin Hotel once. We had a nice, nice dinner, then went back to the hotel room to watch movies. 🙂
We’ve had reservations at Tulsa steak house once, but it turned out to be crowded, noisy and running late and all the waiters were cranky. And hateful.
We’ve even been to a concert. (Not a great idea.)
A few years ago, we discovered that going to Stillwater to dinner is a good idea, at least at the Chinese buffet we like. All the college kids are still at home (or want to go to a big city for the night) and navigating that town is easy.
Tonight, though, we plan to stay home. I might make pizza or buy a carry out early in the day, along with a little finger food, then we’re going to stay HOME.
Scarlett and I will think about putting away Christmas decorations tomorrow. 🙂
What do you plan to do?
