What did 1/1/06 have in store for you?

Published on January 1, 2006 By JillUser In Blogging

We entertained last night and our last guests left at about 3AM so we had a nice big mess to wake up to. Our whole family slept in until about 12:30. I fed everyone then got to work on the mess.

I didn't end up getting dressed until about 2:00. I got a "Happy New Year" call from my mom and gave one to my sister. Next thing I knew it was dinner time. We had sandwichs since noone really felt like having a "real" meal.

So 1/1/06 has basically been spent cleaning and relaxing. How did you spend yours?

Seeing The Family Stone and cleaning for company!

SJP was pretty good! My respect for her as an actress went up!

Spent the most perfect day, just me and colleen in jammies, sitting close and just having quality talking time.

Did that most of the day! Until she wanted to get out of the house!

Well, we had a large group of friends over the night before (with tons of little kids!!!), but didn't stay up much past about 1:30 since we had to be up and ready to head to church by 8:30. Church, letting everyone get naps, and just relaxing filled the rest of the day.

I worked until 2200hrs New Years Eve, getting personnel and equipment put away from flood duty with the National Guard.

Because our cooks were still deployed from the day before supporting the Forestry service on Flood and mud slide duty, I organized a backup detail to laterally feed an Army for a Holiday meal, while we trained and waited on standby for emergency duty.

I have written off every New Years since Y2K. I may miss those New Years parties, but that's my job. If I was 17.5 years old again and knew then what my life has been like, I'd sign those papers again.

That movie looks pretty good. I doubt my hubby would go to it though.

Sounds wonderful!

BlueDev, the 8:30AM part sounds awful but the restful day sounds great.

Were you in CA?

So glad to hear that.

Just over the Boarder in Nevada near Reno. We got some flooding, but have been lucky so far. Now we are looking at snow.

Weird! Here we are in Michigan, usually up to our middles in snow buy now and it is green as can be outside. We even had a thunderstorm!

Hope you stay safe and best wishes with your work.

Toasting the New Year with my kids and my hubby at home! Taking lots of pictures and running outside a lot to watch the fireworks all around us!

Sleeping in til 12Noon and then getting up to cook a large meal and eating it buffet style! Stuffing ourselves like pigs and enjoying it. And I had company too - my cousins visited and that was nice!

Then spending the rest of the evening lazing and lolling in front of the telly! And you know what's the best part? Everyone leaving me alone to snore without interruption!

Started my diet. Yes, it's my New Years Resolution. I say I'm not going to make a resolution ever again, but I always do. Usually revolving around my weight. This year is to lose weight and keep it off with exercise. I've decided if I lose 25 lbs and keep it off for 3 months I am going to get Thermage or some other facial thingy so that I look good and feel good. It's a little vain, I know, but I am very goal oriented. I did yoga for a half an hour and took a walk. So far so good for the new year.

foreverserenity, that sounds wonderful! My kind of day!

Jean M, best of luck with your diet. I am sure you are far from alone with that resolution. Exercise is the key so it sounds like you are off to a good start.
