The big date night of the year. It's the first time since 1982 without a significant other for me.

What's everyone else doing? I will be spending the evening with at least one son this year.

(I guess he's pretty significant.)

How do you feel about it?

Chris.

Hey gang :)

This New Year's Eve, I am going to my best friend's house with a bunch of friends - a few couples, some singletons - to play games, eat, drink and be merry! It will be WEIRD not having someone to kiss at midnight...

I've made it through my first single Thanksgiving, my first single Christmas, and soon, my first single NYEve. It's gotta get better, right?!

I'm THRILLLLLLLLLLLLLLED we have a forum for those of us who ended our marriages (or had them ended FOR us).

I'm going to a single's dance with my friend Brenda. I won't be dancing, as I am just now starting to walk again, but I'll be damned if I stay at home!

I haven't a clue?

Charlie

I have no plans either Charlie. I guess its New Years Eve in front of the tv watching the ball drop all by myself. Yeeeehaw.....how friggin exciting is that!!!

My friend invited me to go sliding (tobogganing) her and her boyfriend.......and another couple and their kids.......but if i have to watch people kissing and saying their "i love you's" at midnight I might just puke so I decided not to go!

and I thought xmas brought sadness and lonliness.

Kid,

Yeah, I'm wondering who's going to dance with me tomorrow night. I have no problem dancing alone, but geez I get tired of stepping on my own feet.

Just stand under some misletoe and see what happens. I'm making a garland to wear on my head. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Here's a ((((((Kid))))) big New Years hug for you. And here's one ((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))) for all the rest of yous.

TLMM

(((((((((MM))))))))))

Right back at ya and I will dance with you if you need a partner. Let them dare say it.........LOLOLOLOLOL


Kid

Ah, guess I'll be spending New Years with a special someone :>)

I sincerely wish all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and hope you have a wonderful evening - I know I will <<WINK>>

Charlie

 

Good for you Charlie.

Maybe next year for me. My son will be with his mom (heh, heh).

Chris.

There's a lot of hugging, winking and heh, hehhing going on here.

What a way to end 2004.

TLMM

TLMM, it beats feeling left out. Now that the Red Sox Nation can't use the "wait 'til next year" chant any more, I'll use it.



Chris.

After getting that News Years kiss last night, I told my new "friend", ha, that I hoped we'd be sharing many more together and he said "I think we will, I have a good feeling about us"

Tell me, where has he been all my life and how did I get so lucky to find a quality person like him so quickly?  I really thought I'd be dating a bunch of jerks before I met a good one.  I'm feeling pretty lucky lately.

Charlie <<<WINKS and more WINKS>>>

 

I, too am wondering about my new love. I alternate between extreme love and satisfaction and mortifying fear - it's only been 15 months since I left my marriage and my divorce, thanks to the glacial pace of California family law, has only been final three weeks. I keep thinking, "This is too fast, this is too soon, BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT!!!!" We've all heard of the "rules" - one year for every five married or some such - and I just keep thinking you can't put a time clock on your life. It just happens....so, my new year's resolutions are:

to REVEL in this oh-so-delicious love; and,
to absolutely eat dessert first and possibly more than once.

Oh, did I tell you guys that he proposed? Perhaps you heard me shouting from the house tops last night????

Note to MM and Taiga: my husky loves him to furry bits. Maybe I should just trust her instincts, no?

Hi Misha!

So what would you do if the husky wanted to rip his leg off?! LOL

I think I'm going to get another husky. It's winter, and I'm cold. HA

I promise to stay in SF for more than 2 hrs. next time I'm there.

Sounds like YOU are having FUN! A proposal and all!!

TLMM

Wow Misha

Congrats, that is awesome.  I'm glad your so happy.

I am NOT ready for a proposal yet LOL.   I need to finish school first.  I don't want him to have to help for my schooling, I think it would be a drain on our relationship.  I sure am enjoying him though.  He and I can't talk about anything and I mean anything.  What a  refreshing feeling.  Tonight we were talking about our ex's and the effects that their parents had on them.  His ex's dad was alcoholic (yes, surpise there huh?) and his MIL somewhat like my ex's mother but not as extreme in the control freak area.  It is funny because I don't think I could ever talk to my ex the way he and I can talk.  I almost feel like he is a sibling because we can talk so easily but there is so much more than that!  Every time he comes over he says a quick hi to me and then goes out of his way to go chat with my boys and pay them some attention.  I love that!

Hope you are all having a wonderful evening.  Do you all think I'm absolutely out of my mind?

I'm glad we have this forum.  After being that hurt before from what ex did, it is nice being able to share this kind of stuff with people who understand where I've been.
