we'll take a cup of kindness yet
I am not good with the whole New Year's Eve thing.
It doesn't sit well with me.
I don't like celebrating a year gone - though 2011 did me no favors. Perhaps I'm being negative? It saw the ends of several things, I was not perfectly healthy, K was not busy enough, we struggled from time to time. Then again, we went to Holland, I love my job, K did some excellent projects, the children are well...I count my blessings.
What will we do tonight? It depends. I usually like to go off to bed and ignore midnight, but the last few years Youngest has asked if I'd sit up with him and wait for the new year. He's still in bed or I'd ask him.
I think we should all sit up till midnight as I have a bottle of champagne. I think we should toast together and have Oliebollen as K is making some.
The five of us chipped in on the blu-ray dvd set of Star Wars movies (I was simply assisting my family) and so, perhaps, we could watch a movie, have a toast and run off to our beds.
Let us hope 2012 will be kind to us, let us wish 2012 will be kind to you -
And there's a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o' thine !
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

I'm not sorry to see 2011 go.
I'm cooking a ham and twice baked potato casserole, Sorority Girl will be off to a party and hubs and I will search Netflix for a good movie.
I hope 2012 only brings you and your men good things...
So let's stay up and let's toast to the new year waltz in with a smile on our faces and a heart full of joy.
Tomorrow will be better!
In the meantime, Happy New Year, bb! Here's hoping 2012 brings us all much laughter, love, joy and fulfillment. And good health. And lots of good news to report. And, if it's not too much to ask, plenty of lovely new shoes.
I was thinking about the year that passed and my wishes for the year to come.
I hope everybody here has a great year. Great happiness, health, wealth, and food.
BB, I so tatally enjoy reading about you and your family. Thanks for keeping us posted.
AND, I enjoy reading everybody's comments here. So many nice people from ALL OVER THE WORLD. You folks just make my day. Thanks for putting up with my warped sence of humor.
Maybe I'll in the lottery THIS year. I still want to eat my way across Europe!
Take care,
Scot
Happy New Year to you and your family! I love how the people in your comments love you.
Like others have said, "Thank you for sharing your world with us."
Health, Busyness, and Happiness in the New Year!
Cheers! Laura
Three cheers to ALL of bb's commenters (right on, Scot!). Everyone who comes here must be drinking out of that kindness cup yet.
