Happy New Year

Jan 01, 2012 09:49

This NYE was a quiet affair spent with Andrew, a meal and a few bottles of bubbles. We just didn't feel like heading off into the city. Just before midnight Andrew remembered that he had some packs of party poppers in the garage from many years ago. We opened up the pack, pulled the first string and....NOTHING! Another one...NOTHING! we went ( Read more... )

Ha! In reading your post the thing that came to mind was perhaps 2012 will be more of a low-key year for you two. With that said I hope you have a good, laughter-filled 2012.

Starting the year out laughing and with great company is good enough for me...I'm sure there will be enough 'Highs' and 'Lows' throughout 2012 to keep it all in balance. Hope your NY is great.

It's good to be silly as the new year begins! Of course, I'm old enough that "poppers" caught my eye in a different context:) But, I am happy to hear you managed three bangs! LOL!

Happy 2012, dear man!

HUGS!

I thought much the same as I typed poppers...it's always funny when you have to stop and think about particular words and how they will be perceived/interpreted. The 'bangs' were very definitely lower case! LOL

HUGS

It's strange to think you have already celebrated the New Year when ours is still three hours away.
So here's wishing you a healthy, prosperous Happy New Year, filled with lots of laughter and good times.
I'm not sure what "poppers" are. My guess would be something you throw on a hard surface like concrete and they make a loud snap or bang. We do have those here.

By now you will also have joined the ranks of 2012...hope your NY will be just wonderful. Party poppers are small plastic 'tubes' with streamers inside them...you pull a string and they fly out with a bang. Just google 'party poppers' and I am sure you will know what I mean Kathy!

This old man is so tired that we'll probably go to bed long before midnight. It's still mind boggling to think that on your side of the globe it's already January 1.

There's nothing wrong in heading off to bed early Mike...after all, it's just another day really! LOL
