I broke out a $15 bottle of wine for you, Maggie! Worked 8 hours, went out for lunch, yes, I had my dirty martini, talked to some friends. And this is exactly what Joe & I used to do. Listening to music.. my body clock is still aimed at getting in bed early, so....Hugs, Wendy, and yes, I share in hoping for peace for all of us. Marsha

I have to work tomorrow so I will be up at 4:30 so I will go to bed early. Harry and I never did anything except try to stay p until midnight and hardly ever made it. I will be missing Harry. That is why I decided to work the holidays.

Okay....Ed and I always celebrated on New Years Eve with Our good friends and neighbors.
This went on for 42 years!! We all took turns hosting and were happy to enjoy without having to drive anywhere.

This year I feel like a fifth wheel. So I'm sitting here having a glass of wine and typing on my computer. I wish it was tomorrow already. I feel so strange and alone. I haven't told anyone else how I feel...just you guys.

Thanks for listening....It really does help!

Today would have been our 13 wedding anniversary. We didn't celebrate either NYs eve or the anniversary in any fancy celebration. We did always go to Outback for dinner around 5pm then home to fall asleep in front of the TV.
Tonight I am here alone, just doing some chores then I am going to bed. The new year can arrive just fine without me. I just hope it hurries and gets here. I have had about all of 2010 that I can stand.
Best wishes to all of you, couldn't have made it this far without you.

I've been in my flannel nightie since 7:30, had a few Christmas chocolates, and am watching The Wackiest Ship in the Army. Something about Jack Lemmon always makes me feel happy. My living room is dark except for the lights on my little Christmas tree. I am counting my blessings and am glad for a warm house on a cold night. Happy New Year to all my friends here on DS. You are always here for me, and that is also a blessing. Hugs, Amy

I, too, am in flannel pj's! they are my uniform in the winter after I get home!

Today is the 7th month anniversary of Frank's death. I have had a few panic attacks but not major ones like this summer.

We always went out to dinner at one of our favorite resturants (usually Indian food) and then home to watch a movie.

I went out to dinner with my mother and then we went to Target! Came home and watched tv.

Will probably go to bed soon. I am praying 2011 will give me peace and healing. I pray that for all of us.

I am also in my flannels, jammies for me, 4 hours and 2 minutes to go till 2011. Hugs, Wendy

In years past we always had seafood gumbo, a lot of snacks and a big group of family and friends. Almost all of the family, including my husband are gone now. He so loved the holidays. Still had the gumbo, etc. and my son, DIL and grandchildren were here. Son ate on the way to work tonight and DIL after she got off. Oldest granddaughter and I are going to watch the new year in on TV. We usually do fireworks but it's raining so maybe we can do them tomorrow. I'm glad to have her with me tonight. I am thankful for my family and don't know what I would have done without them these past 3 yrs. I pray for peace, comfort, and joy for all of us in the new year. Thank you all for being here. Take care, Sandra

My son and I went to visit my husband's sister and her family. My M.I.L. also lives there. It was great to see them and we had a good visit.
