Staying home

nursie76 12-29-2010 06:00 PM

Oh, on New Years Day, I am going to participate in Planet Patchworks Merry Mayhem’s Mystery Quilt Case # 133. The mystery starts at 11:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, January 1, 2011 and the last installment will be posted at 3:00 p.m. They post clues hourly and have hourly door prizes if you register. It is free and you are supposed to complete an easy 35" table topper by the end. I wanted to participate last year, but found out about it too late. I just pulled the fabrics from my stash and will cut them out Friday. We will be at our son's on New Years Day, but the guys will be doing guy stuff, so I am going to sew to my hearts content.

Staying home! And we will be asleep before midnight. We've been married 30 years and I don't think that we have ever been anywhere on New Years Eve. I always say that there are too many drunks on the road. :)

Never go anywhere on New Years Eve. I want to be with family and be safe.

Always stay at home.Safer that way. When we were stationed in Germany for 9 years, we stayed home too and I got to babysit many children. I had them lined up in our living room with sleeping bags,popcorn, and movies. I always had the parents pick up the children[sometimes 10 kids-with the help of hubby and our daughter] the next morning at a certain time, at no extra charge. Hated to have them go out in the cold and with some parents that had been drinking. We always had a ball. Some times we all even got to see out our windows in Military housing and watch many fire works down in the little German town. They really celebrate New Years.I still get to keep in touch with about 8 of the families.The kids are now in their late 20's and early 30's.Those were the good ole days and I really miss them. Now my hubby and I just sit and watch movies and sometime get to have out GS from NC here. He is only 60 miles from us. He is now 12 yrs old. They grow so fast. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!! BE SAFE!!!

Staying home with sweetie, have a couple of drinks and playing cards..Too many trips before Christmas and too much
going on, so the quite night will be great!

We always stay home New Years eve. Too many fools out. We do our little celebration at home.

My husband and I are volunteer ushers at a local theater. So we said we would volunteer on New Years Eve. For ushering for 15 minutes we get to see the play. My husband would never pay the $22.00 to go see any play. Otherwise we never go out with all the drunk partyiers driving around.

Enjoy the play. I love to go to the theater but can't afford it.

We traditionally stay home for New Year's Eve. We'll have the 3 grandkids. Happy New Year to all - Health and Happiness in 2011.

Anne T 12-29-2010 11:37 PM

Staying home. Will celbrate the New Year on NY Day with DS and ADIL. Have done this for a couple of years and a great way to spend NY Day.

Rusty's Mama 12-29-2010 11:55 PM

We are going out for dinner and then play cards (pinochle) with a friends. We have been doing this same routine for years - wouldn't be New Year's Eve without the card game!

I am spending the night with Ken (my Kenmore)!

Roberta 12-30-2010 08:25 AM

Staying home here and bringing home Chinese food to enjoy as we try to stay awake until midnight. Anyone else out there as glad to see 2010 go away as I am?

almostfree 12-30-2010 08:29 AM

We are going over to friends' house. We have celebrated New Year's together for well over 20 years. There will also be another couple there who we've known for a long time, too, so it will be a relaxing and enjoyable evening. I'm sure we won't stay much longer than 12:30.

Hosting a Euchre tournament at our house...

FancyFoot 12-30-2010 11:29 AM

Home is where it is for me.

quiltmom04 12-30-2010 01:09 PM

My older son just closed on his first house today, so I think we'll be painting!

everybody's mother 12-30-2010 02:15 PM

Staying home, watching the snow pile up and praying for my grandson's safe return to Mpls from NY. Bad weather to be flying!!

Marilynsue 12-30-2010 03:42 PM

Staying home, probably undecorate the house on Saturday. Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we plan to go that evening. Good enough for me! :thumbup:

We usually stay home. But this year our church has been invited to join another neighborhood church for a new year's eve service. They don't have communion in their church and their pastor has asked our pastor to have hold a late night communion service, ending at midnight. (He also wants him to 'wear his robes and everything'.)

Hubby and I think it will be a good way to spend new years ... meeting new folks in the neighborhood and sharing the common bond of being followers of Christ. We are ethnically very different folk and I think it will be so much fun to have an opportunity to spend time with each other.

Will have to go home close to midnight, though. Poor doggies don't like all the fire crackers and bottle rockets that go off. I usually spend the new year holding two trembling dogs while hubby sleeps!

Blessings to all for a wonderful new year.

PS - Needle biopsy of the thyroid today was not as painful as I was afraid it would be. The Dr. who performed the procedure was a riot! He really put me at ease. He hit the mark on the first try! He's my hero -- LOL!

They said I would be sore for a couple of days. Only really notice it when I swallow or turn my head too quickly.

PTL!
