Hi Teach and Andi,
Just had brunch with curly, asklets and a friend of my daughter. Great company. Now at curly’s (sans kids) and getting ready for tonight.
That sounds like a pleasant day. We just had a 20 minute open-the-floodgates kind of rain and I was thinking how nice it would be if it been snow instead.
I’ve been out for a long walk, read, taken a shower, done laundry. Jim and I just made a salad to take to dinner tonight and I’m comtemplating taking a nap. Not too exciting but better than grading essays. 🙂
These are the end of the “This I believe” essays, which they turned in the last few days before vacation. They’ve been pretty nice so far – some tearjerkers.
Yes, but what goes up must come down. I remember this from my years in NM, where every New Years some idiot would fire off their gun and be surprized when the bullet hit something, or someone, on its return to earth.
I can’t remember the last time I was awake at midnight on new years. Probably 5 years ago when we went bowling. Usually I just hear fireworks and roll over and say woo hoo to myself.
There’s a street party downtown but it’s supposed to rain. One of the boys is going to the hockey game (Hurricanes or some such team) and then downtown. I worry about drunk drivers.
LOL Happy New Year’s To you also. Well one of my resolutions for the New Year’s is to clean up my language in the podcast. I can say the same things and show rightious indignation without cussing and I know it. LOL I actually labeled this show explicit becuase I really did get carried away in one section. LOL I almost clipped it but had already spent 3 hours recording a show slightly over an hour.
I bought all this great stuff to munch on tonight but I am still so full from the sushi for lunch that I am not hungry at all. LOL Maybe I will nibble a little later tonight but I have a feeling most of the great cheeses and meat will be lunch for me this coming week at work. LOL
LOL I got a bottle of Kendal Jackson reserve chardonay and also bought eggnog so I could make a white russian with eggnog, but I don’t drink when I am not eating. LOL
You’ve got to work tomorrow don’t you? If you’re still full from lunch then a bottle of wine and a half gallon of white russians won’t leave you with a hang over. Yeah that it, it won’t leave you with a hang over. 🙂
Well the nuts in the neighborhood have started with the fireworks and it is only 7:30. They scare Bette almost as much as thunder. Now you know one of the reasons I stay home on New Years. LOL
Poor Bette maybe, but I thinking of getting a firecracker from one of the kid and setting off in the room. Pay George back for all that yapping and whinning. 🙂
I work 4pm till 8pm tomorrow. Sleeping late is not an option with the Diva Dogs unless I stay up till 4 am like I did last night. Then they let me sleep till 8. LOL
I have a mini sacher cake for dessert. LOL After talking about the food I fixed a bread plate with some cheese and a little of the peppered salame. I will save the wine for another time. I am just not in the mood to frink tonight. LOL or at least not yet.
ROTFLMAO!!!! I had planned to have one drink and maybe a couple of glasses of wine. I am a light drinker and even lighter when I am drinking alone. LOL
What’s stranger, naked frogs or frogs in briefs?
So frogs bowling and smoking don’t strike you as odd?
Nah, I’ve been to 24 hour bowling alleys.
There a duck bowling alley up in Indy that does pretty good in the odd patrons category — frogs in briefs wouldn’t get a blink.
Hi Teach and Andi,
Just had brunch with curly, asklets and a friend of my daughter. Great company. Now at curly’s (sans kids) and getting ready for tonight.
That sounds like a pleasant day. We just had a 20 minute open-the-floodgates kind of rain and I was thinking how nice it would be if it been snow instead.
Very much.
I think that rain is headed our way tomorrow.
Hope you have a peaceful celebration tonight – we”re heading out to catch a train.
Dinner is in the slow cooker, the house looks kind of clean, videos are rented, I’m slowly but surely (wait for it)…grading essays.
What’s going on at your house?
I’ve been out for a long walk, read, taken a shower, done laundry. Jim and I just made a salad to take to dinner tonight and I’m comtemplating taking a nap. Not too exciting but better than grading essays. 🙂
These are the end of the “This I believe” essays, which they turned in the last few days before vacation. They’ve been pretty nice so far – some tearjerkers.
I’m glad to hear they turned out well but still sorry you grading your way to 2007.
That drawing reminds of the Frog and Toad story where they went swimming and laughed at each other in their bathing suits.
I took one look at those crummy, slummy looking frogs and new I needed them for the cafe — a class act for a class place.
Another Arnold Lobel fan heard from.
those were my favorite books to read to the kids. So entertaining for both of us.
not too far from here they have the giant pickle which drops at midnight. A giant glowing pickle.
But right in Raleigh we have a bronze acorn – which I don’t think is as festive. Ah well.
So you think of a gaint glowing pickle as being festive?
Of course. Did you notice it has pleasure bumps?
The town over by you wouldn’t have the name of Trojan would it?
Sadly, no. Mt. Olive.
Who are you going to kiss at midnight, FM?
The person I love the most. I’ve guess I need to windex the mirror though. 😛
Hi Olivia.
So you’ve got a quiet New Years planned?
I’ll be kissing my pillow probably.
Morning all.
We were awake, briefly, to welcome in the new year only because the neighbors made enough of a racket to start Luna barking.
It’s a quiet cool Summer’s morning here, with only birdsong to be heard thus far.
Morning keres.
Hope you had a nice New Years eve.
For some unexplained reason, we started a LOTR marathon – and only made it through one and a half episodes.
At a few minutes after 11pm, we decided to turn in and left our heros with the Balrog approaching (one of the better fight sequences, IMHO).
A bottle of champagne and a home-made mushroom garlic pizza rounded out our evening.
Sounds great to me.
That sign would have me thinking twice.
What do they drop it from, and do they televise it, SN?
Some snow pix from the hood for all you snow deprived froggies…
clik to enlarge
Hi dada.
I want just a little bit of that snow.
It can be easily done….Order Here…:{)
I guess I have to settle for crushed ice. Although when you throw it in the air and it hits your head it can be a little painful.
You’re from Alabama. A little crushed ice won’t hurt you when you’ve been shooting off your shotgun every other new year’s.
Yeah but we don’t shoot at each other. The crushed ice you can at least throw at each other.
Yeah but we don’t shoot at each other.
Yes, but what goes up must come down. I remember this from my years in NM, where every New Years some idiot would fire off their gun and be surprized when the bullet hit something, or someone, on its return to earth.
That’s the reason I stick crushed ice.
You could always pack the crushed ice in the shotgun fire it at trespassers (you’d have to be quick, though). Just think of it as very cold rock salt.
I think you’ve done this before.
Sounds like it to me. 🙂
I think they drop it onto rye bread smeared with Miracle Whip for Family Man.
You forgot the tomatoes, salt and pepper.
You’ll have to find some little town that drops a glowing tomato.
Nah I prefer to be here and watch all the excitement on TV. That is if I’m still awake. I’ll have to give it a shot tonight.
I can’t remember the last time I was awake at midnight on new years. Probably 5 years ago when we went bowling. Usually I just hear fireworks and roll over and say woo hoo to myself.
You live in the big city. There must be all sorts of things going on.
There’s a street party downtown but it’s supposed to rain. One of the boys is going to the hockey game (Hurricanes or some such team) and then downtown. I worry about drunk drivers.
Yep that’s what I worry about too. I always liked to go to places where I didn’t have to worry about driving or where I would sleep (pass out). 🙂
Nothing like starting the new year with your face in the toilet.
Yep the good old days.
I’d a ghuessed white bread w/ the crusts cut off
Well I have been out of state. Ate all sorts of wierd food. 🙂
Gotta go and fix dinner.
Back in awhile.
Behind the clouds, the sun will rise again…
By the Way, for 2007, Europe is again ahead of the US…
and thanks for the beautiful picture.
Happy New Year’s to you also!!! What a stunning picture!!!
Lovely photo, Melanchthon. Happy New Year to you also.
The same goes for all you other BooTribbers, wherever you may be tonight. I wish for peace for all in 2007.
Happy New Year Melanchthon. Wonderful picture.
Happy New Year’s and thank you to all the people who helped make a difference in 2006 and who will work just as hard in 2007!!!
Here is the link to my New Year’s Podcast. Fair warning it is long and I got carried away cussing in some parts. LOL
Happy New Year’s!!!!!
Oh goodie – something to do tonight!
I hope you have a happy, healthy and peaceful new year, RF.
Thank you!!! There are some great songs included by artist you might not be familliar with also.
Happy New Year Refinish.
Carried away cussing? Not you. 🙂
LOL Happy New Year’s To you also. Well one of my resolutions for the New Year’s is to clean up my language in the podcast. I can say the same things and show rightious indignation without cussing and I know it. LOL I actually labeled this show explicit becuase I really did get carried away in one section. LOL I almost clipped it but had already spent 3 hours recording a show slightly over an hour.
I don’t make resolutions because I know I’ll break them. I’ll have to give it a listen tonight.
LOL I usually don’t but I have been thinking about this for a while. I would like the show to be acceptable to all age groups and not just adult. LOL
Good idea.
(including me)
See you next year.
See ya Andi. Enjoy and be safe.
Happy New Year’s to you and Jim!!!!! and see you in the new Year!!!
Happy New Year, neighbors!
Happy New Years Indianadem !!! May the new Year bring you much joy, love and happiness as I hope it does for all teh froggies!!!!
Thank you rf69 and I wish the same for you!
Happy New Year to ya’ll. Hope you have a good evening and a good New Year.
Happy New Year, FM. Our lasagna is almost done!
New Years Eve lasagna sounds great. We had Xmas Eve lasagna. 🙂
Yes, but I wonder if their’s is stouffers. LOL
I would hope not. They’re public servants now. They can’t afford that.
LOL
I bought all this great stuff to munch on tonight but I am still so full from the sushi for lunch that I am not hungry at all. LOL Maybe I will nibble a little later tonight but I have a feeling most of the great cheeses and meat will be lunch for me this coming week at work. LOL
To heck with what you’re eating. What did you get to drink? 🙂
LOL I got a bottle of Kendal Jackson reserve chardonay and also bought eggnog so I could make a white russian with eggnog, but I don’t drink when I am not eating. LOL
You’ve got to work tomorrow don’t you? If you’re still full from lunch then a bottle of wine and a half gallon of white russians won’t leave you with a hang over. Yeah that it, it won’t leave you with a hang over. 🙂
What are you and George drinking tonight?
Happy New Year’s Miss Olivia!!!!!
Well the nuts in the neighborhood have started with the fireworks and it is only 7:30. They scare Bette almost as much as thunder. Now you know one of the reasons I stay home on New Years. LOL
They’ve started firing them here too and George is trying to crawl under a blanket I have on the bed.
Poor Bette maybe, but I thinking of getting a firecracker from one of the kid and setting off in the room. Pay George back for all that yapping and whinning. 🙂
That is too mean FamilyMan!!! LOL
Nah I would never do that to George.
I knew you wouldn’t but trust me I understand the feeling. LOL
poor George … 🙂
You don’t have to work tomorrow, do you?
I am eorking 4 hours tomorrow. I volunteered. LOL
or do you get to sleep in at least …
I work 4pm till 8pm tomorrow. Sleeping late is not an option with the Diva Dogs unless I stay up till 4 am like I did last night. Then they let me sleep till 8. LOL
Hi Olivia.
We’re both drinking water. You know you can get drunk off water. 🙂
I do know that.
You should at least be celebrating w/ a bowl of ice cream. 🙂
Not a bit of ice cream in the house. We’ll just have to get by with Lutefisk-Chitlins.
I have a mini sacher cake for dessert. LOL After talking about the food I fixed a bread plate with some cheese and a little of the peppered salame. I will save the wine for another time. I am just not in the mood to frink tonight. LOL or at least not yet.
Sacher
Don’t ask! Just give in to its raspberry fruit preserve filling, fondant icing and buttercream underlay.
ROTFLMAO!!!! I had planned to have one drink and maybe a couple of glasses of wine. I am a light drinker and even lighter when I am drinking alone. LOL
I’m going to run and put up a new cafe.
Back in a minute.
Froggy Bottom Café New Years Eve here
