It's here! 2009!
Last night we watch Dick Clark ring in the New Year and the ball drop at Time Square. We toasted with Champagne and had Sardines for luck, watched an episode of Twilight Zone then were off to bed. It's how I wanted it. Quiet, at home, with hubby. My neighbors provided the entertainment all evening leading up to midnight because they were shooting off fireworks.
Today we started the day at Einsteins bagels - we went there because it was past the breakfast time for Panera and I wanted a sausage and egg bagel. We should have went to Panera and just had lunch. They were out of most bagels, they were out of eggs, and they were more interested in counting down the minutes until closing time than getting people through the line. It was still a wonderful, quiet day with hubby. After Einsteins, we did a big loop around the city. We went south on US1 into Homestead, then west to Krome Ave, then North to the Trail, then east to the Palmetto, and South to home again. The city was pretty quiet - my facorite time since Miami is rarely quiet. The only thing that would have been better would have been if we had set out in one of the old cars.
This evening I've been watching Twilight Zone some more and saw my three favorite episodes - the one with Burgess Meridith where a bomb destroys the world and he is safe near a library and can read as much as he wants, the one with William Shatner where he sees the Whooly Mamoth on the wing of the airplane, and my most favorite - Kick the Can, where the old people turn young again by playing Kick the Can like kids.
Tomorrow, I'm off from work, and really have no plans. I think I'm going to go in search of an album to do my 365 Project since I was not one of the lucky ones to get a kit from CK. I'm not sure when they will have more, so I'm just going to go with plan B. I'm thinking an American Crafts 12x12 customizable album where I can decorate the cover. I can fake the rest - all I need is some coordinating papers and I can trim them to the sizes I need. I can computer generate the days of the week, I have a date stamp, and I can use some rub ons for the days of the week you put on the pictures. In my opinion, the kit would make it easier to do, but not having the kit doesn't make it impossible. I've joined a yahoo group with some friends are are doing it, I've joined a facebook group, and I think I'm going to create a blog and post the pictures there as well. I know this is going to be fun.
