I brought in the New Year writing. I'm hoping that's a lucky writerly thing to do!Nora MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575333078760106784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837908059809422462.post-6913841473748093442011-01-10T12:04:39.574-08:002011-01-10T12:04:39.574-08:00Yeah, Medeia, there is something very peaceful abo...Yeah, Medeia, there is something very peaceful about NOT celebrating something that seems so forced.<br /><br />Welcome back, Adrienne!

Even if I'm writing, I'm used to the noise of the kids and their friends.<br /><br />The tea and tobacco? I don't know, but Philip usually tells me straight out.

We went to a hockey game with our youngest and his fiancee, then settled in to watch a movie and DH started snoring almost immediately. He woke up at midnight when the kids came in. Yeah, they CAME IN at 12.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837908059809422462.post-30259353549302307842011-01-06T03:42:37.653-08:002011-01-06T03:42:37.653-08:00I've gone solo on New Years Eve before.

As long as you have an alternative, it's actually sort of liberating, and it's DEFINITELY better than spending it with grumpy teenagers and spouse.<br /><br />Tea and tobacco?

Glad you didn't run into any serial killers.<br /><br />I actually went to a New Year's party this year for the first time in like 10 years.
