Who the hell starts a batch of cookies at 10:30 pm so she'll have cookies for the neighbors out in the field for fireworks?
Oops. Hope it doesn't rain.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FSA is different depending on your employer. Ours rolls over to March 1.
Good one, thank you for confirming.

I love that when we hear something that could be fireworks or gunshots (my least-favorite guessing game) several people in my neighborhood will reliably post on Nextdoor. com about it. Everyone checks in with their street and we triangulate and one dude always asks, "But did you CALL THE POLICE???"
(The conclusion tonight was early NYE fireworks.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
a friend just posted on fb about his daughter asking about New Year's Steve....and my brain went so quickly to OMG I WANT A NEW YEAR'S STEVE (because clearly that is Rogers).
My love of fictional people continues to be worrisome.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG I WANT A NEW YEAR'S STEVE (because clearly that is Rogers).
Clearly! And now I want one too!
Why do I have to work tomorrow?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Unless it's near the 4th of July I always assume the things that sound like gunshots are gunshots, my DH always assumes its either a car backfiring or fireworks.
New Year's Steve is a great idea. He'd just go around on NYE dropping in on people to wish them a very happy new year. It'd be like Santa for grown ups.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Could also go with a New Year's Steve.

I would like a New Year's Steve. I'd feed him cookies and pie. I think we'd both find it soothing.

I would accept Steve Rogers, Stone Cold Steve Austin, or my Awesome Doctor(TM). Who is named Steve and seems like he would be fun to party with.

New Year's Steve sounds just right.
