I love
these next two days. I love the concept that everyone unites around a
holiday not based on religious or personal views (at least, for the most part
here in the US). I love that people get together to celebrate and reflect
on the year that has passed, and to optimistically celebrate what they hope
will happen in the coming year.
Being a New Yorker at heart, the ONLY way to celebrate the New Year is to watch the Times Square ball drop at midnight. When I first lived in Minnesota, I was SO upset when they delayed the ball drop so that it was "live" to MN time, which is an hour behind NY time. Um, what? No - this bad boy needs to be shown live. Doesn't the world understand that all things are based on NY time - and, everything else is just relative to that? At least, on New Year's Eve....
My brother and father and I are going dryer shopping this morning. Our dryer at the house has been making horrible, awful noises lately, and yesterday, I had to shut it off, the noises were so bad. I found a scratch and dent place nearby that has electric dryers, so I'm hoping to use some of our Christmas money and gift cards to buy us a new dryer (Merry Christmas to us!).
I will try to remember to post more later, but if I don't, Happy New Year's to you all. I'm REALLY looking forward to 2010. I'm hopeful that it's going to be better then 2009 was.
