linzrunz · December 2016

Anyone have exciting plans to celebrate the new year? Any new year resolutions? Favorite things about 2016?

Apparently now we're having dinner with Grandpa Saturday evening, so thats cool, cos we didntvsee him at Christmas. Then Sunday, DH and I will finally have a little alone time, since his buddy has been staying here, going into work with him each morning...

I hate making resolutions, bc really there's always things I keep SAYING I want to do or improve... but I love the idea of the home organization challenge @Tennis11785 was talking about the other day. I think that's something DH would get on board with and totally have fun/bond getting the house in order together. We just moved here in October, so lots of things are setup great! Other areas you can still see the residual boxes and things that didn't *quite* get unpacked or find a home...

We're having homemade pizza and champagne! It will be a miracle if I make it until midnight. Can you tell we are an old married couple?!

I don't believe in resolutions as I don't think you need to wait until a new year to change something. That being said, I wish you all luck if you have resolutions!

Since BFN and started spotting today...I am just going to go ahead and drink that whole bottle of wine I got for Christmas and eat calorie filled appetizers all night. Because I can. I will get back on track with eating and exercise Tuesday...really, I will

Every year since I've been able (read: 16) to drink, I've had a huge New Year's Eve. Dancing, champagne, kisses. But this year I want to ignore my best friends party (she's KU in a FIVE MONTH relationship), drink nothing and go to bed before the ball drops.

As long as DH is cool w doing nothing. Cross your fingers for me! Lol

jenotontx · December 2016

DH and I are spending the evening in Dallas. We made reservations at a restaurant and then plan to go to a rooftop bar to watch fireworks. Although dinner sounds good, I know I'm going to be exhausted by the time we reach the bar. We will probably head out shortly after midnight knowing us. lol

I'm not into resolutions but I do REALLY need to start watching what I eat and I have to get back to working out. I've gained so much weight since my wedding and I'm starting to feel like a fat bloob. I also don't want to be like this when we actively start TTC.

Excuse the double post from wto... we have a perfect weekend planned because there are no plans... went to the gym this morning, currently watching football then DH will stream soccer and basketball so we can watch all three games (u of l football, basketball, Liverpool soccer) then we will eat so ooooooo many delicious appetizers and drink sparkling wine and go to bed at approximately 12:02. Tomorrow we have a family party.

As far as resolutions.I agree with @BertieMeetsGertie that change doesn't need to wait. However, I post a list of life goals in the kitchen each January. I just try to make them more broad... #1 this year is "have fun trying" others that I have focused on... "carve out screen free time together" etc etc. Just positive things to see on the wall

ETA for clarity

Pinky917 · December 2016

We are going to hang out with one of DH's friends and his girlfriend. They are having a few people over at their place, and I am kind of excited that they decided to make it a "pajama party" so now I still get to hang out in my robe and slippers. Is it bad that I am also thinking about bringing some tea with me?

And as far as resolutions go:

jess0211 · December 2016

@Pinky917 stealing your meme! Love it!

haylsbayls-2 · December 2016

We are going to a fancy dinner in Vail with friends and then will change into our PJs before midnight! I'm finally getting the NYE I've always dreamed of haha

jenotontx · December 2016

@haylsbayls That sounds like such a great evening!! I absolutely love Vail. It must be such a beautiful winter wonderland out there right now!

heatherdubrow · December 2016

Joining in...
we had planned on doing steaks and shrimp and drinking champagne at home...but MH just got called in to work. So now I'm going to be drinking alone. Might do a movie and popcorn with my little ladies though!

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

Sorry to be the debbie downer on this thread, but...

I have been "ugly crying" for the past hour. Like full on melt down. I am so f***ing ready for 2016 to done.

We are stuck in Las Vegas tonight because we decided to fly Allegiant Air (cheap tickets). They delayed our first flight by 1.25 hours and it caused us to miss our connection by 9 minutes. 9 f****ing minutes!!!! So we had to forfeit those tickets ($200), book new tickets for tomorrow ($275) and rent a shitty motel off the Strip on the most expensive night of the damn year ($230).

Oh and it looks like my period stopped. Like it's done. So another 2 day period this month....wtf body?!?!

This is like icing on the proverbial shit cake that December has been for me.

BertieMeetsGertie · January 2017

Hang in there @dragonfly87!! There's only a few hours left of 2016. You can do it!

ChefRamsay · January 2017

@dragonfly87 Sorry you're having a rough night. Feel free to cry all you want! *TW* I know my first AF after my MC was really hard on my. I wanted so bad to be KU again and when it didn't happen I felt crushed all over again. It can take awhile post lost for your periods to return to 'normal' so keep that in mind too. *End TW* If you're really concerned about the light AF it's a good idea to call your Dr and see what they think. Feel free to cry all you need girl. We're here for you.

dinosaur · January 2017

@dragonfly87 - Similar thing happened to me last year. We got stuck in some random motel in Needles, CA. Where is that you ask? In the middle of freaking nowhere! We were trying to go to the Grand Canyon and a huge winter storm hit and all the roads were closed.

kiki75 · January 2017

@dragonfly87 Ugh. Allegiant is such a crap airline.

But now here you are in Vegas on NYE. Wipe your tears, put on your fancy pants and get down and make yourself some lemonade... Or just order yourself a lemon drop.

You're already there. You're already out the money for the hotel. Go and make the most of the journey.

jess0211 · January 2017

@dragonfly87 hugs!!!

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@jess0211, @ChefRamsay @BertieMeetsGertie @Kiki75 @Dinosaur (did you change your avatar?)

Thanks ladies. I think I was getting hangry because we hadn't eaten anything since 10am. We went to an overpriced, outdated mediocre buffet for dinner. I ate my feelings and my way through a few plates of food. I feel a little better. Haha, and have a minor stomach ache.

We aren't the partying type, but since we are here, we are going to go gamble at some of the casinos and hopefully not lose any money!

ETA: Given my debbie downer mood, DH is trying to be a trooper and more upbeat. I am trying to follow his lead. My new thought is...well, December was so shitty, it can only get better from here!

dinosaur · January 2017

@dragonfly87 - Yeah, I changed my avatar. I figured if my name is Dinosaur the photo should be of a Dinosaur

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@dinosaur: Makes sense lol. Maybe I should consider changing mine to a dragonfly...

stillclever17 · January 2017

@dragonfly87 That really sucks. I'm so sorry. Cry all you need. I highly recommend eating your feelings whenever it gets that bad. I hate when travel plans get jacked up. You could have done what DH did when he was 21 which was just sit at a strip club all night Because he didn't want to pay for a hotel. He fell asleep, of course, so the dancer kicked him out. Boys... Hang in there. 2017 HAS to be better.

ChefRamsay · January 2017

@Dinosaur I thought you were a new person until @dragonfly87 commented on your new profile pic!

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@ChefRamsay I thought the same thing too! I recognize most regulars by their avatar and was thrown off by the change.
