New Years Eve at SINSULL's

Brett and Wakana will be in town so it's dinner (probably a buffet), music, breakfast, share some joy, commiserate over some ot the crap and move into 2010 together.

I will do Honey Ham and potatoes. Deborah and Tom offered to take care of veggies. Jacqui is making pies and hopefully will remember a plum pudding.

We will be about 20 so I don't know if we can manage a sit down.
We need a salad, bread, cheese, desserts, and of course wine and champagne.

So far if weather and health allow, we have me, Brett and Wakana, Jacqui and Kendall, Deborah and Tom, Linn and Tom, Charmion and Edmund, Charlie and Judy, Jeri, Becca, Deb and Jim along with Meghan and a friend - Kendall's family, Tami and Jason, Kathy. A few others have been invited.

Who else is in? Who else needs a bed?

Micca,
Take Kendall's advice and ride a Virgin across for New Year's Eve. We will miss you but expect a call... hee hee

Sour Cream Raisen Pie sounds suspiciously like mincemeat. It should meld well with Christmas Pudding.

It's snowing here and will snow on Christmas. Hope that means New Years Eve will be flake free.

This year can't leave fast enough. We have lots to celebrate - the Grammy, Maeve and Trulove's escape, my new mortgage, lots of new CDs, a new president, - work with me here. Add to the list. We'll toast a goodbye to those we lost.

Please do not spend money on gifts. This year especially there are too many who have nothing. Donate! Donate! Donate! Of course I have one truly crappy gift - it's for Linn and Tom and bought this summer in a moment's weakness. The frog that arrived this week is gift enough from and for all.

Sitdown dinner at 6PM. Appetisers. Ham + assorted veggies. Champagne, wine, assorted desserts. Coffee, tea, maybe hot apple cider.
And whatever comes in the door.

The only thing that could keep us home is if the temperature is too frigid. Snow I think we could deal with.

Almost didn't make it home tonight -- the door locks in my car were frozen. All of 'em. The passenger side lock didn't want to release my key, either, until I fought with it a bit.

Was rescued by a Sears associate from Fitness who had one of those little flame throwers. It worked -- and he didn't melt the lock, either.

South Portland weather says light snow late Thursday, light snow on Friday and a shitload on Saturday and Sunday.

Like they know anything. I still remember the dusting last year when I woke up to 14" of snow. Living on the coast is a challenge when it comes to storms.

Ack! I work tomorrow until 3 and, since I don't get paid for the hours I would normally be working, but we're closing at 3, I intend to go in a bit early. (Every hour helps...)

But that means I don't have any time tomorrow to do anything like pack (well, for an overnight) or, uh, wrap Mary's "gifts"...I think I've procrastinated about as long as I can. I guess I have to wrap them tonight. I'll use the "Don't open til Christmas" paper...;-)

We're playing the weather...annoying snow or frigid temps...entirely by ear. I really WANT to be there, but killing ourselves in miserable driving conditions is probably not a great idea. There's too much shhhhstuff in our lives already. Sigh.

Could have sworn I posted to this before I went to work.

Woke up this morning feeling like doggy doo. Went to bed last night feeling like doggie doo. GI distress, headache, general aches, etc. -- same symptoms as my coworkers just got over.

Had to go to work (noon-3) or I wouldn't get paid for tomorrow, but decided to avoid sharing this malady with the gathering, we'll stay home.

Really wanted to make it, but I'll probably be asleep by 10. And with the weather the way it is (though it wasn't bad driving on the way home heading west), I doubt we'll be howling at the blue moon tonight either.

By the way, I got a package from my sister today including an INCREDIBLE Christmas gift -- an original videotape of the Smenge's "The Last Polka"!!!! NOT available on DVD. Wonderful! If I didn't feel so glucky, I'd watch it tonight.

Sinsull-

Everything was delicious! And there certainly was plenty of it.

Kendall was in good humor, and it was great to see Brett and Wakana after so many years. Brett had a nasty cold but it's hard to feel sympathy for someone who has been residing on a tropical island for years.

Everyone was excited about the Grammy nomination, and there are plans to fly out to LA for the presentation evening later in January. Maybe we all should go and start chanting.
I do hope that if our favorite producers are called up on stage for the award that there is no major wardrobe malfunction.

The driving wasn't bad running home before midnight but coming down in the late afternoon traffic was tied up in knots as a car BBQ'd in the breakdown lane (no one was injured). I'm glad that we planned for extra time.

Nice to be home!

Cheerily,

Went outside at 2:40 to look at the moon and the moonlight glistening on the snow. It was so calm, so serene, so peaceful.

Brett and Wakana are off to the airport. Everyone else has gone home.
Seamus is nestled in on the sofa for a long winter's nap. I am going to join him.
There was enough food for an army and lots of leftovers including champagne, I have to find younger friends. Tom's dips were amazing. And I actually loved the raisen sour cream pie. Definitely needs a name change - Dried Grape and Cream Delight, maybe? Pies and chocolates and cheeses and a new Nunzilla for whom no one is taking responsibility.

Got a call from (I thought) Big Mick and rambled on for a while until I was told "This is Pat Paterson." So sorry, Spaw but I think someone spiked my lemonade.

Happy New Year all.

Micca - they were all on their way to bed by the time Dick Clark announced dropping balls which led to a folk tale from Wakana about raccon whose...ask Brett about it.

The Raspberry Liquor is beautiful. Served it in dark chocolate cups. Jacqui and i are planning an afternoon of bad movies and good drinks. We toasted you, Micca. But no phone call. Sorry.

Edmund and I were very, very quiet. After a duck dinner, we watched a movie -- Monsters Inc., not bad but no earth-moving experience, either -- and then I went to bed at 10 over Edmund's protests. He stayed up till midnight (on general principles) and then retired himself, accompanied by Bill the cat.

We were sincerely sorry to miss the Mainiacs' New Year's Eve party, but if you were having weather misery it's just as well we stayed at home. Today I feel refreshed and rested for the first time in weeks, if not months.

It's been snowing here off and on since Wednesday, not heavily but quite persistently; yesterday's driving was downright treacherous. Edmund is out clearing the mouth of the driveway so we can go out to see the new Sherlock Holmes. The family feast -- usually the last blow-out of the holiday seas -- is tomorrow, and then we have to buckle down to get ready for the return to work. Bleah.

Then my power goes out and I head to your house. (Seriously, it's the ice storms that do that shit.)

It's a fair question, Kendall. I seem to remember from my long-ago past as a Renaissance Faire staff researcher that in 16th century Europe, the new year was celebrated on March 25. Not even the first of the month. Look up "New Year" in Wikipedia for a variety of dates celebrated by a variety of cultures. Here's what it says about March 25:

"In Annunciation Style dating the new year started on 25 March, the feast of the Annunciation. This was used in many parts of Europe in the Middle Ages, and was the style introduced by Dionysius Exiguus in AD 525. Annunciation Style continued to be used officially in the Kingdom of Great Britain until 1 January 1752, except Scotland which changed to Circumcision Style dating on 1 January 1600, the Act being passed on 17 December 1599.[18] The rest of Great Britain changed to Circumcision Style on the 1 January preceding the conversion in Great Britain from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar on 3/14 September 1752. The UK tax year still starts on 6 April which is 25 March + 12 days, eleven for the conversion from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar plus a dropped leap day in 1900."

Reading that page, it looks like we can blame January 1 on Rome.

Tom and I were snowed in for 3 days in April 1982 (a couple months before our June wedding). My boss kept calling to find out when I could get to work -- the town couldn't get a plow down our road even with the town clerk living next door! (Those of you in New England know what that means -- the town was SHUT DOWN!)

They finally got a gigantic front end loader through, which made my boss very happy.

This was back before the road was paved; not sure whether that made any difference or not.
