New Year's Eve Day
Dec. 31st, 2007 01:16 pmI am tired. Not sleepy; tired. There is a difference. Things are going well overall, and I've dug down through a tall stack of paper filing receipts for a year. Double checked for entries in the old Quicken (as that's how I keep the books), and pretty nearly tuned up to start the old Tax Man thing. Made rounds with Herself and the Bros, so it's not like nothing's going on. Nor did I push hard doing those things; they're all easy.
So I'm tired.
So what.
Still overcast and cool today, looks like maybe some more rain. I suppose I could go check the weather on-line or via the Sky-TV; just looking out the window it feels like damp, more rain coming. Tonight there are gatherings at a neighbor's, and over at Horse Arena just like last year. I know Herself is planning on Horse Arena. I'm feeling a lot better than the weekend of the Solstice party over at friends S&K's place, but then I think about going to Horse Arena, staying up late, and...
I'm tired. So I don't know. Don't want to be a stick in the mud, and don't want to make anyone leave early from visiting with friends. I've stayed home before for New Years, been very quiet. It's not a bad thing to do.
After all, what day actually begins the New Year is fairly arbitrary. I've mentioned that before. One can just as easily call one's natal day New Years, because one begins a new year. Or one can select either Solstice (not dependant on hemisphere, either Summer or Winter for where ever one lives). Or even either equinox; it's all very arbitrary.
Why, just think of Chinese New Year, eh?
I keep coming back to, I'm tired.

New Year's Eve
Dec. 31st, 2005 03:22 pmCame in with a Bang and will go out with Cheesy Piggie, or Blasphemous Dip. We sold a goat to a neighbor family, who will be enjoying goat for New Year's Eve and Day meals. If this bothers you, the gate's that way.
And Cheesy Piggie is doing it's thing in the crock pot for tonight's gathering(s) at other neighbors. This batch is a bit of experiment, as I found a "generic" equivalent from Publix of the processed cheese product used. It's lower in sodium, and I just had to try it. Much milder; I could probably of used a medium salsa, or both portions of sausage as spicy instead of mixing them. Ah well, that's what black and white pepper are for, as well as some other things I've yet to toss in. And yes, there are bagel bits to scoop the Cheesy Piggie with, making it the Blasphemous Dip.
( And Now, Some Ramblings About New Year )
On the other hand, any excuse for a party is a good excuse, and so tonight we will toddle of down the road to friends and neighbors and celebrate the earth turning on its axis for the 365th time since last December 31. Before then, I'm going for a tramp on our ranch with the Border Collie Bros, who seem to like doing that no matter what day it is. I think that's a good way to look at life. And on that note, all, Happy New Year.
