NYE Wake Up

Hey everyone, it's almost 2010!
Up with Nick this morning.  He just can't get the idea of sleeping in over Winter break.  Starting my day with some water, and then on to protein hot cocoa.

QOTD-What'cha doing tonight?  We don't have much planned except for staying home and hooking up our new TV that DH got for Christmas.  I wish my decorations were put away already....so maybe I'll do that.  We always stay up past midnight for the big smooch!

Hope you all have a safe and fun night!!

Good Morning All,

Strawberry protein shake for me.  My youngest son is always the first up.  The rest of my kids will sleep till noon.  I don't think he is much like the others at all.  Funny how sometimes one is sooo different. 

QOTD:  Never been much of a new year's eve person.  Usually in bed.

I am so bummed.  I thought I worked till 3 today, I work till 6.  I was hoping to meet up with one of my DH old friends.  He lives in the u.p. and only comes down 2 times a year. 

Have a good day and safe night if you are going out.

Up having my first coffee today !   Anticipating a wonderful New Year !  !

QOTD - Will be playing cards with the inlaws tonight to bring in the New Year!

May you all have a safe night and a wonderful start of a New Year !

Up and attum with chocolate protein coffee.  The deer woke me up at 3 am this morning by walking in front of the driveway alarm beam.  Three in the front yard and two in the back.  They're so pretty.
QOTD:  Originally we were just going to stay home and go to bed.  Then some friends from downstate called and asked if they could come up and spend the New Years with us.  Of course we said Yes.  Then my cousin from down the other end of the lake called and asked what we were doing.  I told them we had friends up, but if they wanted they could come down, so they're coming.  Then the people next door came back home yesterday, so Gary invited them over.  Now, I guess we're having a small 8 people party.  I've got shrimp, cheese and crackers and artichoke dip to get ready now.  I'm not the best hostess, so I'm hoping Gary will be the host with the most.
We're supposed to get 6 to 8 inches of the white stuff tonight.  Should be beautiful.

I wish you all the best in 2010.
Jan

Jani, you sound like a great hostess, laid back and concerned that your guests have a good time.  Have fun!  Wish I was coming. 

Hey Jan - got room for 1 more to make it 9??? just kidding - actually, I have a date....!! and looking forward to it.

Good morning Brenda and everyone!

Drinking some protein coffee right now and already had 16 oz of SF koolaid. Not too many cars out in the parking lot here at work today!  I'll be getting out early.  Normally they let us go on New Year's Eve around 1 pm or so. 

QOTD:  Steve and I are going over to the casino in Mt Pleasant to have dinner.  We aren't really gambler's so we'll probably just eat and play the slots for a short bit and come home and watch movies. 

Speaking of the casino, my son is 20.  He went to the casino Tuesday night with $100 and he won $1,100 !!   I told him to put it all in the bank but he asked if he could take a hundred and go back last night.  He ended up taking $200 and went back last night and came home with $1,800 !!!   OMG....I want him to go back tonight - LOL!   I don't want him to become addicted to going, but geez, he's got some good luck going on right now! 

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year!

Nan

Nan - my son did that too when he turned 18.  He went to the casino and won, night after night... While I was glad he was winning - I wanted him to lose so he knew what it was like.

Of course he loses now and doesn't go nearly as much as he used to when he was winning!

Good morning all!

Today is all about tax deductions!  Which means packing up as many boxes as possible of the crap that's cluttering my house and closet and hauling it to Goodwill.  I've been driving around with 3 boxes of crap in my trunk for a month, so I'll add to it and get rid of it all!

Had some protein hot cocoa this morning and now I've got eggs on to boil.  Gonna do some egg salad on an Arnold Thin for breakfast. Yummm...

QOTD -- I'm on grandma duty tonight.  Grandma and I will hang ou****ch the ball drop and probably eat some snacks until midnight (if she makes it that late) --- my parents are heading to a party and needed someone to sit with Grandma and since I was just going to sit home, I was it.

Pam - I LOVE your new picture!!!

Happy New Year to you!  

By the way, I've been thinking of my word for the year.  I'm still comtimplating doing a word each month....that way I can work on 12 mini goals throughout the year. I just love the idea of having a word instead of a new year's resolution. Thanks so much for the idea!
