Not missing 07 at all

How was your New Years Eve? Did you drink yummy champagne? Did you kiss your one true love at midnight? Did you resolve to really quit smoking, only to break that resolution before you passed out last night?
I only pulled off one of those; go ahead and guess which one.
We spent New Years with neighbors. Every family in our 'hood has 3 children. They are all really close in age. It's like Soylent Green mixed with The Stepford wives around here; we all bred about the same time, and almost all the moms here are teachers. It makes me giggle, but it also makes for great NYE parties.
We had potluck dinner at my neighbour's house, and then sat around and gabbed until midnight. The kids, who I thought would be dead on their feet by 12, were tearing it up. They blew noise makers, they drank Kiddie Champagne and toasted to friends. We had mugs of the very best Indian tea that has ever crossed my lips, and also toasted to friends.
It. Was. Wonderful.
I know my neighbors a little more, and like them more, too. I have cool neighbors. Funny, hot, cool neighbors.
I resolve this year to stop being such a damn recluse already and start hanging out with these people more. I love where I live for a reason. I am totally surrounded by awesomeness.
Josh had the most crappy night at work imaginable, and made it home before 2 am, and we watched The Dirty Dozen for a while and then we headed to bed where he gave me a little present. One of those Not Everyday presents. One of those things married people never bother to do presents.
Oh yeah, baby, I got a footrub. I got a footrub after he had just worked 15 hours on his feet. I think I fell asleep halfway through it, it was so damn good. That is the finest way to end a year.
Picture one of Blog 365, aka Project 365, coming later. Welcome to Y2K8. I, for one, am totally looking forward to it.

Mmmm...footrub...mmmm...
I love those, but I don't often get them.
Glad to hear you have such great neighbours - you should definitely take advantage. My neighbours and I have nearly nothing in common. I wish I could just drop next door with my kids for a playdate and coffee... hopefully my next house will have great neighbours...
Glad to hear you had a fun New Year! Here's to more fun days to come in 2008!
Ha Ha Ha!!!!
A footrub. That rocks probably even more than what I was thinking.
What a wonderful neighborhood. We moved away from one of those and it kills me. :-(
Getcha butt out of the house and have some fun! J/K :-) We'd miss you here!
Have a fantastic 2008!!!
Sounds like a fun night - happy new year!
I want cool neighbors, dammit. I guess I just HAVE to move out there now.. LOL
I got kissed, and that's about it. Had all these plans to be drunk and have drunk sex, but the baby had other ideas of what he wanted for me.
Oh well. It was a nice kiss.. LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I look forward to being your best bloggy pal in the whole blogoshere!!
I got a footrub the other day, as I was in the throes of being sick. Thanks hun.
We didn't do much for New Years, had a few drinks at home and went to bed. We are boring.
we recovered from some nasty stomach ick - oh the fun!!!!!
A footrub is the best. I get those from the boy toy when I get home from my part time FUN job.
I am learning that standing in heels for 4 hours IS a bad thing but OOO the footrubs...AHHHHHHHHHHH
Go Josh. I'm a master at'em.
A footrub *is* the same f'in ballbark! (only better in some ways) :D
