Formerly known as "Happy New Year's..."
Well, it's 5am as I type this...and it's New Year's Eve too.
WHY am I awake at 5am? Well, technically, I woke up at 4. And no, it's not because of the kids....at least it's not my youngest's fault for waking up....and it's not the dogs either (or their fault).
Some jerks decided 4am was a FANTASTIC time to set off fireworks in the back yard...we have a dark shade in the bedroom pulled down and our bedroom still lit up and it was fairly loud as the layout of the back yard has 2 buildings close together like an "L" shape - fantastic echo system--.
Now, just so you know....it is ILLEGAL to shoot off fire works any day of the year except on December 31st.
And just so you also know - it's still ILLEGAL to shoot them off until 6pm December 31st...and you have to stop by 2am January 1st.
So to the people who thought it was cute to pretend it was 14 hours later....huge thanks for scaring the crap out of me (almost peed the bed - no joke), waking my 2 month old and scaring my 4-year old dog into hiding under the bed....
Thankfully the dogs don't care if it's not too close by and they are inside...
Guess what pal? You were FAR too close.
On a much lighter note, Happy New Year!!
I hope you have resolutions you can stick by and are realistic (mine is to be tidier and to shop less...both which amuse my husband greatly)....
And the shops are closed by 6pm (grocery stores anyhow) and some shops downtown may close earlier or not be opened at all...and of course all day New Year's Day...
AND you can buy little metal horse shoes (1,15� for 6 at my local S Market) for tonight.
You melt them individually in boiling water then drop one in cold water and whatever shape it takes - is a sign of your future in the New Year....
and please remember:
Don't drink and drive.
