oof.
this was my fourth New Years worked, and by far the busiest. I earned my keep for sure. I'm one tired puppy.
it's 3 am here, which means 2 am in Hawaii, so everyone has rung it in by now - so, Happy New Year!
my feet hurt.

Happy New Year! Our first NYE party at the bar was a huge success. We couldn't have packed anyone else in the place with a crow-bar. Like comet, my feet hurt. My bartender's birthday is 1/1, so I gave her the night off to play and my ex, his girlfriend, and my hubby all worked our tushies off keeping the beer flowing. Got home at 4:30am and I've just gotten up some 4 1/2 hours later to go back to work to clean up the remains of the carnage and cook New Year's Day Dinner of hog jowl, black eyed peas and cabbage. Exhausted but very happy about the way 2013 started...

Oh Yummy, Bess Higgs, hog jowl, black eyed peas and cabbage!
JB forgot to buy the black eyed peas,(which he eats every New Year). Since I married him, and he doesn't like my German sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and pork, I have done without and baked ham, scalloped potatoes and collards.
I also baked an apple pie, which I am eating during the STANFORD game. GO STANFORD, beat Wisconsin! ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
Happy New Year!

Went to the Rose Parade ready for an Artic expedition wearing a down coat, fuzzy long undies, a fuzzy hat, and fuzzy gloves. After walking the few blocks up a gentle rise on Colorado Blvd and up to our Orange Grove Blvd grandstand seats, I was entirely warmed and slipped off the down coat and the gloves (but not the fuzzy hat or the fuzzy undies ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ) and watched a thoroughly lovely parade. Some of my favorite entries were the "Cat in the Hat" and "Cars" floats, the "Love Float" where a marriage was performed, and the slackerly Stanford marching band.
Happy New Year, everybody!

Stanford Band is "Very Special".
At one time they didn't appear on network TV, perhaps because of the incident where they started to undress as the other band finished their halftime show........and then marched onto the field in shorts and swim suits to play surfer music.
Stanford Band is an acquired taste. Let's just say they are unique, and always fun to be around. Not your traditional band, and they make every effort to stay that way.

I'm trying to find Youtube of their halftime performance. Which I hear they had to run by the network beforehand, due to their, um, previous shenanigans.

I turned on the parade this morning. I cried when the surprise military reunion (soldier with wife and their four-year-old) happened. Apparently the wife had been told that she won a contest and got a trip to the Rose Parade.
The Cars float was awesome!

Motherboard did an "all nighter" to see the parade one year and loved it. She said Church services were held, people cooking on the side streets while the police just looked the other way. She had pavement row seats. Seeing the floats up close and personal was so much fun for her.

We always have an open house on the afternoon of New Year's Day, so even if we had a TV, we'd be too busy setting up for the party to watch the Rose Bowl Parade. But I have fond memories of watching it when I was a kid, and being amazed at the floats.
Our New Year's party is always loads of fun. We have a ham, cheese, rolls, black-eyed peas, a coconut cake, and about a bajillion cookies. A friendly teenager looks after little ones, so parents can eat and chat and play Boggle.
We have a mountain of leftover food, because I am certain that there is a special circle in Hell for hosts that run out of food or drink. However many people we estimate that we might have, I make sure we have enough for twice that many and to spare. Leftover cookies and coconut cake for breakfast? Yes!

big quake in southeast -7.7 - very far from here, we didn't feel a thing. but it's created a tsunami warning that will be very far reaching, including the town my mother lives in (she's uphill, no worries) and where I'll be moving to.
just wanted to let you all know we're fine, here. probably more than a thousand miles away.
prayers for SEAK and all of the pacific NW are probably in order.

That area has lots of coves, inlets and passages that tend to amplify the effects in specific places. Tidal differences of 3 to 5m aren't uncommon in some areas, and many communities are built right at the water's edge.

Our city got hit by a big ice and snow storm on Christmas day and the next. Trees and branches fell all over and the FEMA trucks are going to come soon for the debris, although city workers have been going non-stop just clearing streets. My street was blocked for a couple days and two neighbors had trees on their houses and cars, big pines. Most of the city was without electricity, but our few houses around us maintained ours, although we lost all internet and cable for a week or so. It just got fixed Jan. 3. We were thankful for heat especially and that the ice began to melt. Eventually, we could get down our hill, get our car fixed from the window that got smashed on it, and start picking up and chopping up branches. It has certainly been an adventure!

It's just a minor meet for coffee, not a serious date but I'm all nervous about it, I wish we'd messaged longer before I agreed to meet with him, not that I'm worried about him or anything but it just feels too soon. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Nicole, FWIW, YMMV ... I did the blind date thing way back in the 90s when it was done via ads in the local give-away newspaper, and my experience was that it was better to meet sooner than later -- 30 minutes over coffee told me way more than a couple of hours on phone calls.

So i kicked out this lady (and 12 men, all at once, personal record) two years ago after the infamous Naked Pushup Incident™. Today, she comes back into the bar while I'm working for the first time. I go to take her order and she says, "If I ask you for a Bloody Mary can I trust you not to put poison in it?"
Well....
I was never angry, but I had to use the Evil Mama Voice so I guess these last two years she's been living in fear of my fury.
Makes me feel so powerful!

Wow, it's hot here! We broke an all time Florida January record on Wednesday. 88 degrees. Way too stinkin' hot.
But...my oak tree is beautiful! It's all leafed out in bright green and the tomatoes are growing very nicely!
It just stinks to turn the A/C on. When I was younger, before my Personal Summers™ became part of my life, I refused to use the A/C until June. That sure went out the window.

We had the most beautiful day here today...I had all the doors open, lots of bikers running the roads, amazing in January. Of course, they are predicting sleet and ice for Monday, so I guess we'll just enjoy it while we can...
I can't possibly top the Naked Pushup story, but last Saturday nite, I did have to stop an ole gal from unzipping her boyfriend to show off his dubious charms... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

it's a stretch, no question.
in all fairness, she was not the one doing the naked pushups. she was encouraging the push up guy by taking her shirt off. Did I not tell you all that story at the time?

Did you see it last year? It was on my birthday! A facebook friend of mine who was soon to retire as Pasadena's Public Information Officer found herself riding a float then, thanks to some important people she knew.
I did enjoy this year's parade. I watched it on HGTV. One of my friends is an elementary school principal and he dresses up like The Cat in the Hat . I miss living three blocks west of Orange Grove in the San Rafael neighborhood, selling parking in our driveway, walking to the Parade and sharing a ladder or chair with a stranger. Someday when I am older and wealthier, we'll get a room with a view at the Saga to see it again in person.
This year isn't too horrible, thus far. I think it's going to be OK - a belated Happy New Year everybody!
By the way, it is freezing at our house!

at the moment it's lovely, warm out but still soft fluffy snow. Shoveling in my t-shirt! I'm going to be sore tomorrow. it's falling fast enough It's almost pointless to shovel, but I'm trying to think of it as my daily workout.

predictions came true.
foot of snow, then turned to freezing rain. the roads are sheet ice with water on top. My driveway has two FEET of standing water at the end of it.
I drove my neighborhood road (almost a mile) in first gear the whole way tonight, never got above 10 mph and flirted with the ditch twice. god bless standards, if I'd have touched the break I'd have been done for.
fun stuff. just another night at the office!
on the fun side - the bartender's fashion statement today involved a lovely little black dress and knee-high green "Ketchikan sneakers" aka fisherman's rubber boots.
Classy.

I am heading in to clean the back bedroom spare closet that has not been really touched for about 4 years. If I do not post again by the end of the week please call rescue. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)

The closet is clean. My goodness there was a lot of forgotten stuff, that seemed like treasures at the time I stored them there, but since I did not use or even remember I had them got placed in the thrift shop box.

Classy.
Around here, those are called, "Tignish Hush Puppies".
