I've just woke up, like about ten minutes ago. Which wouldn't be so bad but it's after 1 in the afternoon. Man, when I catch up on my sleep I do it big style as I didn't even go to bed that late. Had no choice with that. James started checking our finances out online, I was trying to mail, comment etc but after he asked if he could just check that site one more time I went to bed. Then read my QAF book snuggled in the quilt because it's damn cold. Still is in fact.

New Year bores me. It's a simple as that. I can't get excited over people going out and getting plastered just because the year changes. Like that's such a big deal. I really don't see the point, so normally James, Corey and I drive to Newcastle to watch the fireworks then come home. But it's forcast for gales/blizzards tonight so even that might be out. I'm just hoping the in-laws don't decide to come and first foot after midnight because if they do I'm not letting them in, I don't care if I'm in the house or not.

Same goes for James' friends. He's been asked to their house for drinks, and as far as I'm concerned he can go, but I'll be at home where it's warm, watching the cheesy music lists on tv and surfing on Silver. That's my perfect New Year. It may be boring, but it's what I like, so there!

Sorry, I just don't like New Years Eve *shrugs*

ETA: I'll tell you something else I don't like. Our bloody Post Office. Jenny only got her parcel yesterday even though I paid for special delivery and was promised a before Christmas delivery date. The others I sent normal airmail but they still should have arrived well before now. Is it so difficult to deliver stuff to the States and France? I don't think so.

You know I should have stayed in bed.

I know what you're feeling. I never got excited about New Year's Eve either. My dad used to work on the 31th, so it was just mom, my sis and I. We did make a special dinner, but it was really quiet, just between the three of us. Then we used to watch one of those New Year's Eve movies, kiddie movies, but it was a tradition.

What I'm excited about though is that Babycakes is here to 'celebrate' it with me *g* So, the program is : RoTK (we're leaving in 20 minutes), then nice dinner, then Disney cartoons, and then, well we'll find other DVDs to watch, I'm sure *g* I guess we'll surf a bit afterward, because, well, that's what we do, right? *g*

Christmas is special, but New Year's Eve... well, it's not, not really. Not to me, I mean. I always refused to spend it with my friends because they just spend the night drinking, and getting plastered is so not what I consider a good entertainment! lol So quiet is the keyword for tonight, and really, that's what I like best.

I don't even really miss the whole thing with Family and Gang. I mean, the last three years that's what we did. Oh, it was *great*, but I just like quiet best *g* Plus, last year? I spent New Year's Eve in *bed*, literally, due to the nasty virus that hit the whole family- my cousin and I being hit just before the 31 *sigh*

Anyway, hope you'll have a nice and quiet New Year's Eve, then *g*

Oh, they told us we should have snow tonight! See us praying lol

That's it exactly. I love Christmas so much that New Year is an anti climax. I really don't see the point in going out, getting freezing cold and drinking too much.

But we did have a quiet New Year's Eve, just how I like it!

And your day sounded perfect too. Babycakes, LotR and cartoons. Perfect!

Most people don't like New Years'. :)

I'm beginning to see that. I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the whole thing is a non event.

*whimper*

I haven't gotten package OR card yet...

..but if Jen only just got hers with special postage, maybe that means I shouldn't worry yet...

Damnit. Patience isn't one of my feline attributes...
