My family has never been big into New Year's Eve. Typically we'd spend it at Torch Lake, we'd have fondue, and struggle to stay up till 12 and be in bed at 12:01. This year I had a few friends over around 4. We had a lovely dinner of turkey, mashed sweet potatoes, summer squash, rice, spiced mashed apples and rolls. We then headed downtown to check out the fireworks. It worked out amazing, as we got a nice parking place and went up the my office and watched them from the balcony! Perfect! Came back to my house, played games, had some hot spiced cider, and then I made chocolate fondue! I put all the toppings, and dippers in some cupcake trays it worked out so well. We turned on the times square action around 11:55 in time to ring in the new year. How did you celebrate?

mostly i worked, finally got home around 10:30, changed, headed over to a friend's apartment in the neighborhood where scott and his buddies were hanging out, we rented pelham 123 through the cable company, watched it, paused it at 11:57, watched the ball drop, there was a cute couple on the screen for a moment, some military guy & his girlfriend and i said "i bet he'll propose!" and scott's friends thought i meant scott and started laughing saying "ha! scott doesn't even have a ring how would he do that! better hurry up and find one scott!" and i died a little inside. the end.
We went to some newlywed friends' apartment with our groupies for the 2nd night in a row to eat tons of good appetizers and play Round 2 of Battle of the Sexes!!! The boys won again. How does this happen?! The night before, we played by candlelight because the wind knocked a pole down and caused a neighborhood disturbance/fire show.
I definitely saw the military guy and his blonde girlfriend on tv, too, Suzin. Did you catch a glimpse of one swanky couple in a tux and white fur coat?! For sure they were engaged! Don't die, Suzin. You're not supposed to know the time or day.
