I have a classic history of horrible NYEs. So my best plan is to watch a lot of football and go to bed. And then wake up and watch a parade and more football.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I love parades, so I like the idea of an early wake-up on NYD - maybe with WAFFLES!!!
ION - receipts are entered. BAM!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the house is rather topsy turvey at the moment - I am determined to improve it, but so far I have only got rid of the box tower...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Hec--does Matilda still have that prismatic refract/reflect/refract thing missing from her life? This one doesn't involve water or Mother Nature, but it's portable and cool: [link] .
It strikes me that one of the things clearly missing from my NYE celebrations is pretending to be in a relationship that I'm not in, for good or ill. That used to be a required feature of most of my larks.
Any commercial kitchen should be ashamed to serve cold toasted bagels if that wasn't the stipulation.

I went running and ate breakfast. Now I'm doing some long-delayed filing (bah). My house is slowly filling up with boxes and bags of stuff from my folks' place--things that I don't need but am reluctant to dump, because they have some family meaning. It's a problem.
I need to empty my garage, and my front closet. There is too much stuff in the world.

I've had some great NYEs, and Valentine Days. So I've had good fortune on Days Of Great Expectation.

My best NYEs involved kissing strangers on that night.

Or for us, craigslist. We have my wonderful pink glider which doesn't quite fit in the house anymore. Bah. I'd rather have shelves.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hello, Buffistas! I have been reading you on my phone.
