    Oh boy, then I'm going to have a very lazy and non-productive year, because all I did today was watch TV and videos on the internet, check my email, and comment on soulcast.  I didn't even get dressed!  I think I'm going to start a new tradition that says whatever you do on the 2nd day of the year is what I'll do all year long!
  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    KruuKruu....lol....i will be a follower of this new tradition then....

    The very first thing i did on the very first second of the new year has been text messaging my daughter. She asked me to send her a message at the struck of midnight....she didnt text me back though.....uhmm.....does it mean we are going to have communication issues during the 2008?.....Hope not....:-)

    Anyway, dont feel bad....I have been spending today like you.....in my pj , beside putting on some jeans for walking the dog, watching movies, checking emails and simply being guiltlessly lazy.......

    If it will truly be the tone of the new year, then life will be satisfying. :D

    The very first thing the hubby, little man, and I did was toast to the new year and then wish each other a happy, healthy, and productive year. And we exchanged hugs and kisses.
  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    LJ.......gosh, that eggnog was that good?......*wink* ...lol....

    ginger, i hugged my two girls tightly (we were on the hammock, watching the bonfire  and some distant fireworks, and listening to beethoven's 9th), and greeted my other loved ones in my mind. no texts and phone calls though... all the cell networks had been in gridlock since 11 pm that night.

    Oh hell, that means I'll be trying to get my car fixed all year, or breaking down on the way to work everyday :-( My cars gear box ceased up on me this morning)
  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    Moon....nice beginning.....i virtually hugged far away friends too....and my little woman as well...:-). I wish you (again) that 2008 be the best year of your life...

    Batty....this sucks big time.....sorry... and this reminds me that i need to check my tires asap.....

    Hope you can fix your car soon and without too much money bleeding...

    Happy New Year!

  • wombat said on Jan 01, 2008....
    I went outside to look at the snow (ok and to smoke a cig) and thought about all the things I needed to do today.  I got crackin'---cleaned house, organized my computer room--looked back at my writing I have saved and printed some of it out as an incentive to write more....works better with new ink in the printer that I got for Christmas....ha.... Wish me luck on living up to my SC bio!
  • wakingharmony said on Jan 01, 2008....
    Thomas called and wished me a Happy new year He was at the fire station....right after that they had to go on fire call for 4 1/2 hrs and there have been fires all day....  I also said Happy New Year to my friends here as well as my daughter and granddaughter were here for the beginning so that was nice. Happy New year to you Ginger.... I really cant imagine you and your daughter having any communication problems... if you do hang in there... some weird hormones take our daughters hostage for a few years and i think it affect their ability to reason...i think you have a little while yet. (((((((((((((((((Ginger)))))))))))))) 
  • destinydiva said on Jan 01, 2008....

  • evil_twin said on Jan 01, 2008....
    The first thing we did was kiss. And then we laughed because people outside were going crazy and yelling out their windows. So if we have a new year filled with kissing and laughter, I'm alright by that!

    My poor wife was sick with a head cold so I'm afraid we didn't do much last night.

    The first thing I did at midnight was to give my daughter a hug and a kiss.

    She stayed up with me watching movies, while my wife went to bed early.

    It wasn't quite the fun evening I hoped for, but Harper was excited to stay up that late.

    Best wishes to you, Gingery, for a spectacular new year.

  • travelr712 said on Jan 01, 2008....
    the first thing i did was wake up, so that means i'm going to wake up all year? cool!
  • Twylarants said on Jan 01, 2008....

  • Lucytorial said on Jan 01, 2008....
    Wow Ginger I was thinking that very same thing yesterday (my NY day) and well the first thing I did was make love... nice start to the year I think.
  • wombat said on Jan 01, 2008....
    Well, I was a busy bee, and that was fun, but sad to say not as much fun as someone else had up there....I knew I forgot something!
  • Jenna said on Jan 01, 2008....

     

    I like the saying Ginger.....

    The first thing I did was close my eyes and said a little prayer....next I hugged and kissed  my sister and son and his girlfriend.....texted mom, daughter and someone special....

    I am thinking my year is off to a good start!

    Happy New Year dear girl!

     

  • Lioness said on Jan 01, 2008....
    When the clock struck midnight, I was dancing.. hmmm.. nice huh? :D

    Happy new year!
  • pickersplock said on Jan 01, 2008....
    Well, I think I was trying to figure out how old the cat was, while simultaneously watching Planet of the Apes, and high five-ing my youngest.
    I don't know where that leaves me, but it pretty much sums up pickersplock!
  • rupert7 said on Jan 01, 2008....
    The  first thing I did was turn the computer on!~(Jenny was still sleeping)
  • travelr712 said on Jan 01, 2008....
    well, ginger, i certainly hope so! :-)
  • wombat said on Jan 01, 2008....
    (pickersplock:)  We were watching a bit of Planet Of The Apes, too...when I could stop him from flipping to the Beverly Hillbilly's marathon...it was a weird night around here....watched the new "Bourne" movie, but fell asleep and missed most of it.
  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    Lucy......then....365 days of love making are on thier way to you, lucky girl...:-)

    Wombie....well..think it in this way....since you have already cleared up the field...all you have to do now is start having fun.....

    Jenna...i am very happy you had your loved ones close and that special someone to get in touch with.....i agree with you...it is a pretty darn good way to start the new year...:-)

    Lioness...oh, i hope it was a nice slow dance.....its like making love, after all, when its done in the rigth way....;-)

    Picker......i have to leave it to you ending the year with a bunch of apes....lol.....but that high five with your little man is just too cute.....:-)

    Rupe.....were you heading here at least?...:-0

    Trave....me too......and not only in 2088....:-D.

    Wombie...are you sure you and Picker were not at the same party last night?...lol..

  • hotaka said on Jan 01, 2008....

    When the count down reached zero, K and I clinked glasses of water, drank a sip and kissed. I hugged her and told her how much I loved her and was looking forward to this year. I hope that was a good sign because later in the day (after sleeping, waking up and having breakfast) she became down about things and memories of last year came up and we canceled our plans to meet some old friends at the last minute and she went home to her family. So my evening was pretty empty and lonely. Heck, I went to the office and spent almost five hours just playing on the Net.

    She's still home today for family reasons but we talked last night and we're okay now. This year still promises to be my best ever.

    Btw, what year are you in, ginger? Or did you just give away some time traveler secret?

  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    Hot-a-babe......i am in your same year, silly .....lol.... and i had consumed already the first day of this 2008....

    I am not worried at all for you....your year is going to be so full of emotions......you have no idea how becoming a parent will make you feel......K was just under the pressure of some inner storm.....i understand her completely....you need only to be a little patient with her ...but i know you will.....:-)  

  • fearing said on Jan 01, 2008....
    At midnight I was kissing Sweety and holding Scooter Bug.  This morning I was awakened by Scooter with a hug and "I love you so much mom!".  I think the year started off well.
  • circusdoll said on Jan 01, 2008....
    Waking up strangely early and watching the snow... and then a really bad movie. *laughs*

    So long as we're not stuck viewing bad cinema for the entirety of 2008, that doesn't sound so off. X3;
  • gingersoul said on Jan 01, 2008....

    Fearing.....a sweet goodnight and sweet good morning .....i like it...:-)

    Circus....oh, no...a whole year of bad movies? It would be more than i can take....lol...

  • phoeby said on Jan 02, 2008....
    i popped one of those popper things with streamers in it. Then i hugged my friends.

    Next new years eve i want to be ~kissing (etc)~ someone!

    phoeby 
  • quietone said on Jan 02, 2008....
    I got up and looked outside and said to myself......hmm a new year...nothing has changed outside!  LOL... then I got on SC..oh, oh! (I was asleep at midnight)
  • silverwhisper said on Jan 02, 2008....
    kissed, toasted, then marveled at how well dick clark has recovered from his stroke last year. :>

  • beltrix said on Jan 02, 2008....

    i threw up and passed out in a nightclub :S

     

  • skald said on Jan 02, 2008....
    Take pictures. I was taking pictures when the new year came. Then kiss, eat, drink. lol 
  • circusdoll said on Jan 02, 2008....
    Gingersoul: Actually, I'm thinking that might be my idea of hell. XD; *laughs* Though, I must say, it'd be loads better than actually being stuck inside of any of them (the bad films). I think I'd throw it in somewhere around the tenth suspenseful plot-twist that no one possibly could have seen coming (excluding, of course, anyone that was actually watching). It would just be too sh!te. XD;

    Darnit, Ginger! Now you've gotten me thinking of all of these bad movie cliches! *laughs*
  • -ocean- said on Jan 02, 2008....
    I phoned my boyfriend, toasted my friends and danced and sang around the room..this year wil be a noisy year??
  • beyondtheveil said on Jan 02, 2008....
    ginsoul...oh dear...

    the first thing I noticed new year's eve was that I was coming down with bronchitis...

    then I woke up new year's day coughing and never stopped...

    then I went this morning to my doctor group's clinic and got prescriptions...

    i've got to leave now, the pharmacy just opened...

    ...I have to do this all year?...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 02, 2008....
    The first thing I did was to kiss and toast with Martinelli's sparkling apple cider.  So I suppose it will be a kissy tee tolling year for me. 
  • biglove said on Jan 02, 2008....
