All of which is to say, today isn't one of my favorite holidays since it involves staying up way past my bedtime. But I have this theory about New Year's Eve which allows me to maintain my nightly routine yet ring in the new year to some small degree. New Year's Eve should be celebrated at midnight in the time zone you were born.
And seeing as how I was born in the Eastern time zone and I now live in the Mountain time zone, I can plant big sloppy kisses on all of my favorite boys at 10 o'clock tonight, then crawl peacefully under the covers and get a good night's sleep, ready to greet the dawn and a screaming pig tomorrow.
Happy New Year to all of you. May 2009 be filled with hope, good health and happiness for you and yours.

That's a good theory...I haven't moved that far away from my origin of birth, so I'm stuck with midnight, it would seem. Fortunately, my critters are used to my sleeping in at every opportunity and have taken to feeding themselves. Very clever, these two. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like the time deducing method you've come up with. The only problem is I'm stuck in the East so I may have to stay up until midnight, but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteCute baby picture, love the hat!
Happy New Year to you and the gang, hope Wynonna lets you sleep a little tomorrow since it's a holiday.
Boy! That's some sexy babe! :) I don't even think I would share my nekked baby pics! Great party hat, though! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you--usually in bed about 9:30/10:00 pm and never stay up til midnight on New Year's Eve. I can wish all my critters a Happy New Year in the am. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat theory, BUT I now live in the East and was born in the Midwest, soooo that doesn't work for me ... darn! I made it as far as 10:30 and then crashed, although neighbors shot off their fireworks at midnight scaring my pup half to death, soooo in a way I was up at midnight, but certainly not celebrating.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all at 7MSN!! By the way, cute Baby New Year!!
Oh that last one made me laugh!!! still giggling. Yep, you can now say you're naked on the Internet too, lol!
ReplyDeleteBTW, LOVE LOVE LOVE that header pic up top. That just about took my breath away. Doesn't the west have the best sunsets?? Gorgeous!!
Wellll now...doesn't little baby Linda look just elfin!
ReplyDeleteI managed to make it to 10:30EST last night and that was enough animal management for 2008.
Today's the day I can start dating things wrong.
Great picture! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI tend to be a bit of a night owl...I could be up until midnight every night if I didn't have to get up for work at 6:30! ;)
I was actually up until 2:30 last night. Not because I was out partying, I was just watching a movie. But I wasn't tired because I'd been sick and slept most of the day!
Linda - Happy New Year to you and your fabulous, photogenic animals - all the best in 2009!
ReplyDeleteI was born in the east too, but my way of ringing in the new year is by watching it on TV 2 or 3 hours earlier then it's to bed around the normal time... 9 or 9:30. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we do. I'm usually asleep by 10:30, but the ball in New York has been down for half an hour.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.

Great theory for celebrating the New Year. LOL---what a cute photo of you. More, more, I want more!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I am an early riser so late nights usually do me in. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCute pic!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your theory...but I was born in the same time zone I'm in...dang...so, we went to town for dinner with friends and thought we'd be home and in bed before midnight. Wrong! We danced the night away and didn't get home until 2 a.m.
Of course at 6 a.m. I'm wide awake...I'm exhausted...it's 7 p.m. and I'm ready for bed!
Happy New Year!!!
Best wishes for a very happy new year to you and your family! Thanks for dropping by and your kind comment! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great theory but then I live in the time zone I was born in and even if I did get to bed I'd be woken even before midnight by the sound of all the fireworks going off all over the city and surrounding towns.
ReplyDeleteNever mind - happy new year.
What a great idea! I was born in England so I could celebrate New Year at 6pm central time, and get it all over with early too! In case you didn't guess, I'm not a fan of New Year celebrations either :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, very good theory! Except it sortof sucks for us who live where we were born. =S Hehe. Great to hear you had a happy new year, all the best for 2009!!! =D
