Happy New Year!




in Chit Chat
It's a balmy 7 f degrees out there. H and I are going to the mall to return gifts and we'll probably go out to lunch or bring home Chinese takeout. I'm going to put on some fluffy socks and binge watch something. I don't think I could bear a recap of 2017's events. Tonight, it's cheese and wine and wine as I bid adieu to lousy 2017.
Please share your exciting plans so that I may live vicariously through you.

Re: Happy New Year!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2018!
What are you watching Jen?
eileenrob, I vote for sleeping through it all. I hope you feel better soon.
We got these Christmas gifts last night!
we're hanging out with my family near Austin. It's in the low 30s, so we're all inside with the 8 dogs. Mom, sister, and I just made 5 dozen tamales and watched "Selena", so we're embracing our Mexican heritage. Otherwise, we're relaxing and teaching our 2 year old nephew to say "dilly dilly".
I just did 15 straight days in a row and I was told I have off tomorrow! Woohoo!
Just un-decorated the xmas stuff from the house and cleaned (so needed it) DH is @ work. I'm just chilling watching The Holiday drinking a beer.
Tomorrow is waking up late (normal wake up is 5:06 am - I always pick random times) and watching football. Might see the if the Mummer's parade is on somewhere. Also go out to dinner with some members.
I undecorated as well, even though in my religious world Christmas does not end until The Epiphany on the 6th. However, DD had surgery on the 28th and it has been "all hands on deck" since then.
We had DD, SIL, and the babies here hoping to give DD a change of scenery. We ordered Chinese as well, and introduced the kids to "poppers". It's so easy to entertain little ones!
Staying indoors today as it is indeed freakishly cold here. I'm being a "Martha" (patron Saint of hospitality in a nutshell) and giving the house a deep clean. Back to post op care of the grandkids tomorrow, and giving SIL another break.
Looking forward to 2018 and the arrival of grandchild #3 in May with DS and DIL!
Oh, and it appears I have an excessive amount of underwear (thx to DH giving me 10 more this year, on top of the 5 a year he has given me every year for 10 years), I also have an excessive amount of sports bras (I do were them to work, but still). So much so I've run out of room in my drawers
That left me only grocery shopping to do today. Which I managed to do earlier this morning. Random - I went to 2 stores (only 2 in the area) and BOTH were out of water crackers. What's up with that? I have some nice brie and apples to eat and I really wanted water crackers.
Anyway, hope everyone is having a good NY day and...
Go TIGERS!
I wasn't really planning anything fun to spent the time, maybe cause i'm so exhausted from work lately. wish all you knotties achieving your goals and live a happy life.
Hoping all all of you have a great start to 2018
