this was a fast week. I am partied out and in holding pattern, Xmas tree and decorations intact, trip preps barely started but lacking any spark to get to it.

may just leave the tree up until the weekend when I have reinforcements to help.
Yes even Tom said it was rubbish and he finds it hard to criticise anything Dr Who............I last watched it when Tom Baker was the Dr, think I was about 7 when he took over from Jon Pertwee.....when it really was still a kids show......watched it till I was about 12 or 13.........then Duran Duran and Wham took my attentions

quite liked David Tennant though
There's a lot of comparisons being made with Natasha Richardson who died skiing, she hadn't been wearing a helmet though unfortunately. Thankfully Michael was, they said if he hadn't he would be dead. Better news this morning though, there has been a slight improvement but he's still critical.
Can't believe what I did yesterday........I pulled a muscle in my chest wall..........it's so painful.....felt like a heart attack (I am a drama queen).............so I'm laid along the sofa and trying not to move much
So new new year celebrations for me............Think it will be Chinese takeout for us again...........will stay up till midnight probably then bed.......not big celebrators of NY really.
Hope it's a good one whatever you're doing
we caught the BBC re the making of the 1st Dr Who, pretty cool. Hadn't known it started out for the kiddies. Makes sense though since kids seem to be revered in the newer versions.
George Michael was quite the stunner back in the day!
Had entirely forgotten about the NR incident. Starting to wonder how often it happens in the sport. I haven't skied in over 30 years, snow kept getting harder when I fell, which was often.
Happy new year everyone, I'm going to bed. We just got thru watching World War Z. Pretty good movie all around.
not a brad pitt fan, but saw it in theater...zombies and all. It was one of the few things I requested for Xmas. Got the unrated version, figure it'll be something to look forward to after my trip.
Happy New Year! Just wanted to pop in and say hi, and let everyone know I'm still alive and kicking! Just been busy with work, and the holidays and such.
Good to hear, happy new year
Happy new year!!! Fighting a nasty chest cold so sorry I'm late on the new year part lol.
eek, maybe it'll be the last cold this year for you!
Happy New Year,all!
Mac, have a great trip!
Metro, had a lush meal at Rusteak, even kids enjoyed eating there. And thank you for the weather order. We had great weather, except for one day, and that was not even a bust.
We are back, enjoyed our holiday trip, swam when it was 62 degrees out, braved the crowds with minimal traffic, and came home with some red (me) and brown (the rest of the family).
I think we will stay with late summer trips, though school sports may find us in holiday mode again.
Heck, 62 degrees is nothing for hardy northerners

. Always love the double takes from people when they walk past us in the pools. Coming all that way, we're taking a dip no matter if the locals have on mittens and boots.
they showed the NYE crowds for WDW (closed MK) and Universal on news, talk about a gridlock! SeaWorld comparatively looked empty.
Sorry to hear so many homies are ailing this week...hope the new year brings good health to you all.
Janet, yes I was talking about the 10th and best Dr Who, David Tennant...the last time I watched the Dr was on PBS in the 70's ...the 4th Dr and the same one Carole watched, Tom Baker...don't remember much about it...
it was the 70's after all
Just put the ham in to bake for our New Years dinner...having mac & cheese, cabbage, cornbread and blackeyed peas...yum.
The diet starts tomorrow
Have a great day everyone
the 70's and most of the 80's are shrouded in the mist for me too lol
can't say I've ever eaten a blackeyed pea
that's great it all is falling into the plan you have.
just think, no more snow and zero temps for youse.
we are at 11 inches now and still snowing.
come on, if you try hard you can hit a foot!
thinking you guys are top notch clearing the roads and you'll have smooth sailing tomorrow since 'your' storm will be rolling thru here this afternoon. Thanks a bunch lol Seriously, we may get lucky again and only get 5 inches if stays above I-80 on it's way to New England. I'm more concerned about the falling temps and high winds forecast for next two days since we tend to lose power in those situations due to our location up on mountain ridge. If the electric fails, thus goes the heat.
is the suitcase at least sitting there waiting for you to commit?
