So...What's everyone doing New Years Eve?

[auntie]

Bob and I usually stay close to home. I am planing a very nice romantic EXPENSIVE dinner. I bought a filet mignon.(stuffed with proscuitto & roasted peppers), roasted red potatos and fresh string beans. Having some stuffed mushrooms and chopped baked clams. A nice red wine..and I think we're good.:thumbsup2 Oh..cheese cake for desert. :laughing:
Likely it's just the two of us:lovestruc ..the younger kids have plans. The big guy..he's workin' Times Square...keepin the city safe (poor guy:hug: ) I guess we'll be watching for him when the ball drops. I'm looking forward to a quiet evening..letting go of 2008 and welcoming a better and Happy 2009 for all of us!


How about everyone else?

Happy New Year my Fort Wilderness Friendspixiedust:

[ram101]

Working! Day shift but still working so no plans. Hope to be home by 8pm hang with the kids and DW for a while, watch the ball drop and the kids celebrate then off to bed at 1205am so I can get up at 530 for another day shift!

[auntie]

My son is working an overtime shift in Times Square until 4 am. Then..he gets three hours off, until his regular shift starts at 7 am! New York..the city that never sleeps, and apparently neither do the cops!:headache:

LOL, I know the felling!! Had to work 26 hours one time!! Talk about being tired!!! The good part was it was COLD so just opening the window kept me awake at times!! LOL That and knowing we were dealing with 2 outlaw motorcycle clubs and one funeral caused by the other club helped to keep the eyes open! LOL

[2goofycampers]

We will be giving all Police Officers a break this year, Frank will be in bed around 9PM and I'll probably be on chat. :rotfl2:

[auntie]

You two rowdy hoodlums laying low for New Years are ya?....:lmao: I'm sure all those in law enforcement appreciate your efforts on their behalf!:laughing:

[Shan-man]

I will be trying, once again, to indoctrinate my darling wife in one of my NYE traditions... watching When Harry Met Sally. I like to time it so the climactic scene happens just before midnight (and no, I don't mean the diner scene!!!). I still haven't gotten her to buy into watching Planes, Train and Automobiles for Thanksgiving, Groundhog Day for Groundhog Day, or Christmas Vacation for Black Friday (when the tree goes up) either, though. She doesn't much like my traditions!

Happy New Year my Fort Wilderness Friendspixiedust:

Ooooooo, can we double date at your house?!?!?!?!
That sounds wonderful ! :woohoo:

[auntie]

Sure, we'd love to have you! :goodvibes

You know, I haven't watched Christmas Vacation yet this year. I think we should do that tomorrow night. I know it's your black Friday pic..but I could watch that anytime..hilarious! :santa:

The man has the seasons and their respective cinematic masterpieces absolutely nailed to perfection. To every great movie, the perfect time to watch it.

I can't do Harry and Sally, though, since the kids have friends over for NYE. Not exactly a kids movie. When the kids go back to school and DW is at work, I'll have it on here when I have the house to myself. :cool1:

[ftwildernessguy]

I just found out we're going to Phyllis' for dinner then over to Shan's for a movie.

[2goofycampers]

See you at Phyllis"s. ;)

I'm thinking Shan wants alone time after the movie. :lmao:

[BRDof3]

I think he'd prefer to have his wife there, too.

[Colson39]

Poor Reilly, he thought it was "clear" milk ;) We'll be spending the night enjoying his first New Years!

[tinah159]

I will be working...Very cute baby Colson

[Gatordad]

plenty of drinking and golf cart racing.

[bwvBound]

We are both working Wednesday ... but will try to escape the office early and head up into the hills. The current plans: Reach the house, unpack lots of groceries and crank the heaters. We'll enjoy a casual dinner and perhaps a movie ... then head over to the ranch to spend the last few moments of 2008 and new moments of 2009 in the hot springs pool (http://www.warnersprings.com/hot-springs.cfm).
New Year's morning we'll head out for a mild off-road trip along the edges of the Cleveland National Forest (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=palomar+observatory&sll=33.374692,-116.8293&sspn=0.252873,0.519791&ie=UTF8&ll=33.38788,-116.918564&spn=0.23965,0.519791&z=11) to local gem mine (http://www.digforgems.com/). We'll spend the day digging and screening for treasures. I'll have "Ann's Ruby Chicken (http://www.recipe-ideas.co.uk/recipes-5/Ann's%20Ruby%20Chicken.htm)" in the crock pot ready for our return.
Friday: Hope to head up to Pasadena to see the post parade Showcase of Floats (http://www.tournamentofroses.com/events/showcase.asp). I'm looking forward to taking the Angeles Crest Scenic Byway (Route 2) (http://www.go-california.com/Angeles-Crest-Scenic-Byway-Route-2) crossing Angeles National Forest (http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/). We'll pack plenty of food ... and picnic where ever the mood strikes. Would have loved to take the RV on this jaunt ... but road conditions suggest the FJ as the better choice.
Saturday ... if we are up for more off-roading ... we'll return to Cleveland National Forest exploring trails along the Palomar Divide (http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Palomar_Divide_Road). Might stop in for a tour of the observatory (http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomarnew/) while we are cruising about. Alternative plan: horseback riding (http://www.warnersprings.com/horseback-riding.cfm) -- except that we did that last weekend.
Sunday: Church, serious housecleaning ... and then back to the "real world."

Okay,,but what have you REALLY got planned? :lmao:





just kidding,,sounds like a terrific start to a new year !:thumbsup2

Yeah, "alone" is not quite what I had in mind ;) One-on-one time would be nice though :)

[McRed]

Here's what I say...

[AuburnJen92]

I am going to try to organize another cart parade tonight at the Fort, however, I don't know how successful I will be considering all the freakin security I keep seeing at night. It kind of spoils the mood and all.....but I will try none the less!:laughing:

[2goofycampers]

Yeah, "alone" is not quite what I had in mind ;) One-on-one time would be nice though :)

BTW, I meant alone time with the wife. You know 2 shall become 1 thing. :rotfl:

[PolynesianPixie]

Phyllis...I'd like to rsvp to your shin-dig. :goodvibes

Actually I guess it's going to be fairly quiet here too. In the past we'vd hosted dinner parties and we're kind of expected to again. We do this kid friendly "Brazillian New Years" at 9 pm so the little ones don't feel left out if they get too sleepy for midnight...although coming off these trips and then coming down with a cold I haven't felt like being party-planner extrordinairre so we're keeping it very low-key. I'm thinking low-key will actually be more fun. We'll have over a couple families and some of Meija's friends, eat a little, drink a little, maybe do a fire in the pit. Oh heck, I guess I should start cleaning and cooking.....

[djblu883]

[Just Beachy]

So many exciting places to go tonight!!! But........I won't be at any of them. :sad1: No, we'll be home tonight, painting the living room. Will this project ever end? :sad2:

I can't wait to get home to get started on projects! I have paint already there waiting for me! I'd rather be doing that than waiting for the night to end with a good book and a dog who wants to steal my space on the bed lol

Just keep remembering how nice it's going to look after you're finished.

[2goofycampers]

I actually get Frank to finish home projects rather quickly, guess I need to give you some nagging lessons. :lmao:

[clkelley]

We're having friends over and consuming lots of alcohol, what else is there to do on NYE???

(All friends will either spend the night, walk home next door, or have prearranged for a cab :cool1: )

[Just Beachy]

I can't wait to get home to get started on projects! I have paint already there waiting for me! I'd rather be doing that than waiting for the night to end with a good book and a dog who wants to steal my space on the bed lol

I'll trade ya!! I'd rather be finishing the book I'm reading!! I can never seem to get enough time to read it! I'm dying to see how it ends and get started on the next in the saga!!!! :cloud9:

[LORNADUCK]

Jen, are you at the ft? We will be there sometime late this afternoon, I found out I booked a premium site, not sure if we will get one. See you later

[BRDof3]

The kids wanted to have friends over to watch the ball drop and sleep over, but they didn't start calling and inviting until 2 days ago. Surprise, surprise, everyone is already going somewhere. :sad2:

So far we have 2 for the afternoon, and one for the evening/overnight. Should still be fun. Santa brought some good games to play. I'm going to make a BLT dip that someone posted on John's site, and there's still cookies left from Christmas. :banana:

[djblu883]

I've read 3 books since last week.I've read 2 of the Stephanie Meyer's books (Twilight, New Moon?) and James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas...cried my eyes out with that one...now I'm 3/4 done with Everlasting by Kathleen Woodwiss...I love to read but I am looking forward to finishing up my all Disney House!

[Born 2 Fish]

If you drag this project into tomorrow, then you can look folk in the eye and say,
"We started this one year and it took us into a second year to finish this one room."

:lmao:

:lmao:

It will be into January. We can't get the flooring until Jan 5, when the company (or it's warehouse) opens up again. They're on vacation until then. Of course it's the same day dh goes back to work after being on vacation, too! :sad2:

[DisneyBishops]

We are at the fort. We are getting ready to go to Jen's site. Going to cook out and drink, drink, drink. Then we are going to do a cart caravan to see the fireworks at midnight.

Happy New Year to everyone on this board.

[Born 2 Fish]

[stacktester]

I was one of the lucky one's to be at the fort. Jen had everybody over for burgers, dogs and to hang out.

DrafthorseCrazy, Millermouseketeers, DisneyBishops were there and it was nice meeting you and or seeing you again lol.

We went out behind the 300 loop and watched the fireworks. A really nice show of course.

[auntie]

Sounds like a lovely way to ring in the New Year! :thumbsup2

[ftwildernessguy]

Hey Phyllis - we stopped by your house last night but nobody came to the door and all the lights were out - what's the story?

[auntie]

You know Jim, it seems as if I've heard that a lot lately. Hmmm:scratchin ...lights being out, and nobodies home.

:laughing:

[Gatordad]

at least she didn't give out lame halloween candy like other disboarders.
