New Years Eve Plans

[Raindrop]

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.

Probably just home gourmet meal for ourselves. I haven't got a tv. He'll make herbed spaetzel (a sort of German pasta), etc.

We're saving ourselves for out of town trip next week when rates are cheaper. In Banff, AB area for snowshoeing.

Sounds yummy & relaxing!

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.

Now THIS sounds like fun, hopefully the weather will cooperate with you. All I am planning on doing NY morning, assuming that I get up early enough, is to go to a free Pilates Reformer class at my club. While there is an additional charge for those classes they do make them free on holidays. I think it is, basically, a teaser to encourage people to purchase classes.

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.

This sounds like a nice way to spend a winter evening! My NY eve will be pretty low key. There is something at church tomorrow evening, then will come home and light a fire - and assuming I stay up past 11 will "ring in the new year" with a good book and a beer. Or snoring, time will tell which!

All of the plans sound like a lot of fun!

Same here.
I think 'happily boring' is an enviable livestyle!

Ditto here!

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.

Tritto! Board games, cheese and crackers and champagne at home for us.

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.

[jobob]

Spending it with some TE-ers, of course.

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!

Mrs. Bloom and I have been ill all week

[limewave]

My parents have all the grandkids over for a big sleepover. That leaves DH and I free to do whatever we want. But we've always wanted to stay in we're so exhausted.

This year we have early dinner plans with a large group of friends. I was hoping to do some xcountry skiing afterwards, but the snow is all gone.

New Year's day we always run a 10k race. It's tradition. It starts at 11:11:11 this year in honor of 1/01/11.

[roadie gal]

Going to a friend's house for pizza and games (Boggle, Uno, etc). We'll probably watch the ball drop in NYC at 9pm our time and then go home to bed. I have to work on New Years day.

[Brandi]

It's funny I haven't posted in so long but here I am. My sister is coming for a visit today (we haven't seen each other since June) we are going to make chocolate chip cookies and stuffed mushrooms. Then grabbing DH and heading to our friends for our annual $.05 poker white elephant party! Should be a blast. But I didn't get much sleep last night so hopefully I can get a nap in!

[Tri Girl]

everyone's plans sound fun!

We're going to a friend's house for our annual pajama party and game-athon (wii and playstation games).
We always have a contest for who has the best pajamas. I'm going old school classy 1920's pajamas tonight.
Tomorrow at noon I'm doing the Polar Bear Plunge into the frigid lake. Should be fun!!

[BikeDutchess]

Today we'll be making oliebollen, a traditional Dutch New Year's Eve treat (and so healthy too! ). Last year we were actually in Holland for NYE, enjoying the outrageous neighborhood fireworks - I'll sure miss that this year!
