    I'm making coq au vin for my DH and then we're tipping back some yummy champagne. Knowing me, I'll be asleep by 11. We don't typically do much for NYE. We'll probably just spend the night exclaiming at how cute the kitten is--the same as most nights. Feel free to make fun of us!

    Same here.
    I think 'happily boring' is an enviable livestyle!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I like that. I swear we actually do have a life, but most of our activity is during the day. At night, I'm pretty much a homebody, as is my DH. This time of year, I like nothing more than to curl up with a book or movie, a blanket and my cats. Well, one of my cats. The kitten is not a cuddler.

    Happy New Year to all! I look forward to sharing 2011 with all of you.

    sleeping

    I'll be going to bed, on time, as I'm doing a Christmas Bird Count on New Year's day. Rendezvous time is 8:00, and fortunately I don't have far to drive. But with all day field work, I'll need my sleep.

    Hoping for new species of birds to add to my Life List.

    We're having a big party! We've invited about 50 people (keep in mind we live in a 900 sq ft apartment) but probably no more than 20-30 will show up. I'm making appies and we're serving bubbles at midnight. I love parties. Sort of going all-out this year. I was sort of dissatisfied with our New Year's Eve events in the previous years, so I thought there was no better way than organize my own. It's really giving a purpose to my coming two days!!

    I have to teach a morning indoor-cycling class on New Years Day (I wonder how the room is going to smell after that...maybe a combination of leftover alcohol fumes?) So anyway, it'll be a early evening.

    Still we'll do our usual "eating our way into the New Year" with King crab, some homemade bread, roasted garlic (that should spice up my class the next day) and some good wine.

    Happy New Year everyone! Keep it safe!

    Nothing special for us...just staying home and watching a Netflix movie (The Expendables). Probably won't even stay up to ring in the New Year. On most nights, I can barely keep my eyes open past 9 o'clock. I plan on either going to the gym or heading outside for a 4 mile jog on NYD...so I'll be up early either way.

    We've stayed in the past few years but we are going to see Bob Schneider in Austin. The couple we are going with are on the mountain bike team with us and a blast, should be fun.

    I'm meeting up in the morning with a friend from high school. We're going to get coffee and go to the used book store. Then a bike ride if I can get out to the trail before it rains, and after that...uh, be a lazy bum.

    My sister's to a friend's house. She has a better social life than I do.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    When is New Year's Eve???

    Gauging by the fact that I fell asleep at 7:30 last night (and even missed Big Bang Theory! ), my guess is that I won't see any ball drop!
