I hope everyone had a safe New Year's Eve and that the New Year will be a happy and healthy one for everyone.
Being the party animals that we are, Hubby and I laid down about 8:30 and fell asleep. Okay, okay, cut me some slack here with the laughing. WE HAVE BEEN SICK! :) But we did wake up about 11:30 to ring in the New Year.
The neighbors about a block away have a block party each year. Someone got ahold of some fireworks (totally illegal here in AZ) and they were going off from 7:30 to 1am. Kermit the Dog is VERY afraid of loud bangs and spent the entire night either in my lap (all 70 lbs of him) or laying so close to me he was darn near under me.
When we went out at midnight the air was so think with smoke that it looked like the neighborhood had just burned to the ground. Had to retreat back inside to breathe.
So this morning, after I got up I went thru my kitchen and threw away all the left over goodies from Christmas and any junk food I could find.
THE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION HAS BEGUN!
Now there is no food so Hubby and I are going out to breakfast.
Happy New Year all!

Happy New Year!!!!!! Sounds like a more exciting night than we had! LOL The only way we realized it was midnight was because the fireworks become frequent and REALLY loud! lol
Have a great new year with your new addition that's due in only 37 days!!! YAY!! :-)
my daughter woke me up at 11:45 ... Oh ~ WHA? ~ "Happy New Year!"
We had fireworks here too.. I am a scaredy cat just like your dog.
Our neighbors also had a ton of fireworks, more than for 4th of July and our house reeked of sulphur. It gave me a headache! We went to bed about 1:30 or so. (but we haven't been sick...yet.)
That's about what our new years was like. We rented a movie and the boys watched as we fell asleep only to wake up at 11:30 and then finally go to bed about 3:30.
Happy New Years to you and yours.
You okay? Just checking in, haven't seen you in a bit...
