Jeez, I guess leaving for the unconnected FL cottage on Jan 1 is why I missed this the first time round. That's such a great photo... and I love the reminisce. European style, yes... isn't that what the cheap-o cabinets, white laminate with fake wood trim and NO HANDLES are called? Further evidence!!

That Matt is, like, stand-up funny.

Happy New Year Becky!
I always like 12/31. No matter what we do. It is after 1/1 that I don't like...taking down the tree..all the excitement over...going back to work...dealing with middle school...

ha! My mom had a very regrettable Christmas vest gifted to her this year.

"European Style" excellent!

We watched the 3 Stooges marathon with family & friends on the eve, then spent all morning January 1 in bed (blissfully un-hungover) with coffee, watching the Looney Tunes marathon wondering if it could 'get any better than this.'

Yay 2010. Only 2 more years til the end of Mayan civilization. Let's make the most of it!

What a fun memory. Love the hair color comment! That Garrison Keillor quote is great too, I had never heard that one before.

I always had these big expectations of New Year's Eve, actually. When I was single, at least. I always hoped that I would meet this beautiful guy that night that had somehow eluded me 364 days of the year and we would kiss when the clock struck 12. So when we counted the seconds down in a friend's hot tub this year and the snow glistened down around us, I felt very grateful that I had my beautiful husband sitting right next to me. Happy New Year.

More pics please! That is hilarious about the "European style"! It reminds me of your first disappointing experience with a "continental breakfast".

HNY!

My New Year's celebration style seems to be clashing with those around me. Last night there was a raging party downstairs in my house, but I chose to stay in my room and watch True Blood reruns, then went to my fiance's place of work just before midnight to clink flutes of Great Value ginger ale. Then I came home and went to bed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! That was great... the band was called Big Sky.

I do remember NYE in Kissimmee. At midnight you could go outside and hear celebratory gunshots. I kid you not. As if they were saying, "We survived another year without getting hit by random gunfire!"

For the big 2000 turnover, some band was playing in the downtown square for the big small-town celebration, and the lead singer yells "Happy Birthday America!" at the stroke of midnight. So we've tended to wish our country a happy birthday if we're still awake.

Hope you have a wonderful celebration, Becky. And ...

Hope you have a wonderful celebration, Becky. And I do believe we were there in C'nooga for that New Year's Eve, too -- or at least one sometime that sounds very like it. I'm spending my New Year's Eve in my husband's newspaper office -- sports doesn't care that nobody else is working tonight, you know!
