Plans for New Years Eve

What are everyone's plans for New Years Eve? This will be the first New Years Eve I don't have to work.  HOORAY  ...I was pretty concerned that we would get our days off cancelled at the last minute....buuuut,  We lucked out this time!!!    However.............This will be a relatively low-key holiday for us... For those of you with kids, Brookfield Zoo is having an early (8pm) countdown to 2008 ! http://www.brookfieldzoo.org Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!

Well, we always like to just stay home in recent years because of all the the amaratur (sp?) drinkers on the road, it is really scary sometimes. But we have both had a taste for Chinese food for the last couple of weeks so we are going to Yu's in Schaumburg. We used to like to have Chinese food on New Years day as a treat but all the good restaurants in our area are kaput. The take out one we like is usually closed on New Years day so we have opted to go out tomorrow early, about 5ish and get home before all the Bozo's start driving. Chris

Hi Paula... We are going to our Pastor's House around 6 PM New Year's Eve... for games and food and fun, we probably won't stay too late we have 3 children and I think midnight is pushing it... On New Year's Day we are going to a friend of mine since elementary school who I have just found again! I am excited! I hope everyone has a safe new year's eve!!! Blessings Jenn

Jenn, you evening sounds like a lot of fun. LOL, my pastor would not be able to have all his members come over for an evening like you are going for because Willow Creek is WAY too big. Have an awesome evening. Chris

Yay for you, for not having to work!! Tomorrow during the day we will be at Mike's grandma's funeral in West Bend, WI.  We are aiming to be home around 6-7pm.  Then Jacob and I are heading out to our breeder's house with the dogs to help her bathe 9, 5 week old pups!!  and of course play with them.  We will be home before midnight because even though she only lives about 20 min from us, I don't trust many drivers out there no NYE wishing all my new friends a wonderful and safe New Year

Hi Paula, We keep New Years low key as well. We will be joining our daughter and her guy for Chinese at a place about 1/2 way between us, and plan to be home before 9. Both DH and I have to work tomorrow. Have a nice safe New Year's Eve.  

We are planning to get some Chinese take-out also and just hunker down at home.  My youngest is having a little get-together and invited us, but there is no way Eddie can maneuver her stairs yet.  Our favorite place is closed on Mondays, so we are going to one a little further, but I know has good food.  Eddie's son may come over for dinner New Year's day-he still hasn't confirmed-just like his old man!  Hope all is well with everyone- and a safe and healthy and happy 2008 for us all!  Hugs-Janet K

Janet, hey where are the places you like to go for Chinese? Are they closer by you and are they just take out or are they a sit down place also? We used to have a really good one in our town and it changed owners about 10 years ago and it is now horrible. Our take out one is over near Addison but that is the one that is closed tomorrow, dang. I wish that we lived closer to Chinatown for good Chinese. Chris

The REALLY good one is Cafe Jasmine,in Wheaton in East Danada.  The BEST-but closed on Mondays.  We are going to the Golden Wok on Roosevelt Rd. in Glen Ellyn , that is very good too.  Both are sit down and take out.  If you have a home fax-pm the # number to me and I'll send the menus.  Have a great New Year darlin-you're a special lady!  Big Hugs-Janet K

We went for Chinese to a really good place, despite the name - Jockey Wok & Roll.  They are located in a strip mall off of Higgins at Roselle Rd (behind Burger King). They are really good and are KNOWN for their Dim Sum.  They actually take it around on carts (like in Chinatown) on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30-1:30 (If I remember correctly).  But you can order off a DimSum menu anytime. They also have a full 'regular' menu, too. Vicky, I and my 5 y.o. daughter ate for $25 on Saturday (dim sum menu).
