Watching the ball fall and counting along with NYC is the closest thing I have to a NYE ritual. My sensible BFF will be in bed at a decent hour as she has to work tomorrow. My neighbors in this tiny 'hood like to set off fireworks to celebrate everything, so that'll be fun to watch.

I bought a couple mimosas-in-a-can at World Market. I'll drink those for NYE and hopefully they're not awful.

I've hit up the grocery store and have some snacks for the kids tonight. Apparently CJ told them it was BYOS (bring your own snack) so I didn't get too much. Not really sure what they want/are bringing drink wise. I have water, root beer, and sparkling cider. If anything with a proof comes into the house, I'm kicking some ass. I've already had a couple of parents check in with me about how much I'll be watching over them.

I'm "working" today. Which basically means I'm checking e-mail and not doing anything unless there is an urgent need. I may end up with a couple of billable hours.

Calli, don't forget to light amyth's Summoning Candle. And have fun! I miss A's parties and watching things with y'all.

We miss having you here, too. And . . . Summoning Candle? If I light a candle does amyth show up? Great for us, but the dog she's sitting in NYC might be a bit bummed.

I drove into NYC, and it wasn't that bad!

Hooray Hil!

Go Hil!!!

Rent is paid. Go me!

Suzi, got your email. No time to reply tonight but I will.

Calli, I forgot she's in NYC! Duh. I was talking about the Bumbly Cumbersnatch candle I made her for Xmas.

Trudy, I say warm with one sparkly thing.

Be safe and have fun, everyone!

This is the plan for tonight: [link]

I have done my work stuff and am now in my PJs.

For whatever reason, they're using the pre-taped LA version of Fall Out Boy tonight -- so I'm pretty glad I'm here in my jammas and not freezing my ta-tas off in Times Square.

Oh, and smonster, I was going with these pants [link] and lots of black cashmere!
