Vegas, hmmm? I'm trying to make sure I spread out my PTO better this year.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
AND early release! God, I love that my boss doesn't give a shit about her job anymore.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have made it to the liquor store; I'm making sangria, but did not get Gran Marnier (too pricey; D's ex left a bottle behind and I gleefully used it last year) but I did get triple sec to soak the fruit in tonight, once I make it to the grocery store.
I got a bottle of Guinness, too, for the chocolate stout bundt cake I will be making. And Prosecco to ring in the new year!
We are having a small NYE party, about 15 people plus 2 8 year olds (upstairs). My sister and another couple are staying the night, and I am making waffles and bacon the next morning.
Ooh, that reminds me, I have to get cute tights when I make my grocery run tonight!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Oh, you can get individual bottles of Guinness? Excellent! I got what looks like a good recipe for Irish Stew from Penzey's catalog, and it calls for a bottle of the stuff, which I have never liked to drink by itself.

At my HyVee liquor store you can. I'm not fond of Guinness, but I like it IN things. It was about $2.50.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We have no NYE plans, and that seems just as well at the moment. I guess we'll celebrate at home with the kids. Sparkling apple juice for them and champagne for us.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We were going to have the kids over for fondue, but then I got sick. So then I said, well, let's just do the fondue ourselves. And then the storm came in. So there's no way I'm sending the SO to the grocery for chunks of swiss cheese and beef tenderloin and shrimp. So yeah, no NYE plans here.
But! On the plus side, while the SO's in town, he's got the nook hooked up to the store's free wifi and is downloading books. So if he does get home, we can be stuck with lots of reading material!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have to do the same thing every year. Jon works, so I'll be there.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
No NYE plans here. Thought I'd go to the fancy new bar that opened up but they want a $20 cover. No frickin' way. Even if I could afford that. So I'll probably continue sewing my dress (if I haven't finished it yet) and packing for my trip. Since I have a gig, it's more important than ever that I not forget things at home.

There were plans and then there was the sick, so.
