For those who just don't WANT to discuss the heck out of this most days, and are ready to just get CRAZY, have fun, dance, party, laugh, etc.....I raise a glass of New Year's Bubbly to you! Who the L needs the judgment, the guessing about who really loves/will love ya, the family's wringing-of-hands, the whispers in the corners? EMBRACE BOLDNESS, ye Bravehearts! Time to crank up that car radio and belt out songs all the way home on the commute, pour the wine at home, and be grateful the holiday stress is over. NEXT ADVENTURE, COMIN' RIGHT UP!!!! I am ready to do whatever it takes to forget I even have anything "wrong"...and to save my energy for those who want my smile and zaniness. Think of the HOURS spent whining that can be spent laughing, accomplishing, traveling, talking. YEA!!!! LAST YEAR IS OVER, and new attitudes are at hand! You are still YOU! I AM STILL ME! The only people who don't get it are the ones who never take time to know you, and vice versa, RIGHT??? THEIR LOSS!

Yep!
I'll drink to that! By the way I ended up going out on New Year's and I actually think I would've had a better time in the bath with some bubbly!
OK, TG - you are now being watched..... any slacking in the positivity department will be noted and all such slippage totted up at Year End.... haven't decided on the penalty charges yet, but it'll be fun (for everyone else, anyway) ;)

Tanya - any of that wine left???

Dominique - that time in the bath with booze WAS my New Year..... hey, now you know where to come next time! (Ooer.) :)
Aw see Norm, you said it, now you CAN'T take it back.

Next year there's gonna be a gaggle of women in Alopecia World t-shirts descending on your place. With bubble bath, rubber duckies, and Asti Spumante in hand. ;)
Well thanks for that image, Ange..... now I dunno whether to be excited at the prospect, or terrified (on balance, "terrified" seems to be winning out... the key'll be under the mat - I'll be at a party, whether they want me there or not!)
Oh, and pleeeease tell me that "rubber duckies" is just that, and not some weird Yank euphemism... ;)
...but Asti Spumante??? Cheapskate! How easy a date d'ya think I am???? (tee-hee!)
Shall we ladies light a fire while you are gone? I hear it is cold at that latitude. Where do you keep the dark chocolate?
Um, well on THIS side of the pond "rubber duckies" are those little yellow tub toys. What are they over there? I am intrigued.

Aaannnnndddd, over here Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante is about $12-13 per bottle. Not too expensive, not to cheap. Now if'n you want me to bring some Cristal then .......................
NOOOOOOOOO!!! TG, don't light a fire - you'll probably burn the house down! Just flick the switch and put the heating on (we're reasonably civilized over here in the UK)... unless you can think of a better way of keeping warm? ;)
As to "where the dark chocolate is" - well, that's one of my dark secrets!!

Ange.... it seems rubber duckies are the same throughout the world. I just wasn't sure, cos not so long ago I got into a discussion on here about using rubbers.... which in the US, it turned out, are what you'd call "erasers". Rubbers, apparently, are something else entirely.... ahem ;)
Hey Norm, it looks like you better be getting a bigger tub :-)
Okay...let's not go there online! I can't censor my discussions...only my blogs!
Amen Tallgirl ;)
Downtown

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
(Downtown)

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
(Downtown downtown)

Downtown
(Downtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you

Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
(repeat and fade out)

[Welcome to Detroit, Cheryl! This song went through my head every time my folks drove us downtown in the '60s...I looked out the window at the string-of-pearls lights, dreaming...]
