Get ready, get set, GO!
Ay yi yi.
Finally. The holidays are over. NOW, if I can get through a birthday celebration this week I will finally concentrate on life as it is normally lived, directed by a series of NY resolutions that will aid in all things Amie... a better world....or World view, at least. I do what I can but lets face it, I could do more... I WILL do more.
Last night we made the rounds to a number of NYeve parties. The weather held so we were able to take the bus, which was FREE on NY eve! How wonderful! This is a resolution from last year that has stuck.
We landed back at ground central in time to pick up my Mum and walk over the the Byrd for the first ever NYeve celebration in Carytown. It was a good thing and very educational. I learned what a tough old bird my mom is and that was refreshing. We wound up in a bottle neck with dozens of college age kids pushing though. I looked at my mom fearing she would freak out... NOPE. She had a big smile on her face and was pushing back with her umbrella in place to protect herself! What a relief!
Black Cash was playing - which was a perfect sound for this crowd. Every generation loves the original music outlaw, Johnny Cash. The family lore is that my grandfather spent a night in the drunk tank with Mr. Cash... so I have a particular affection for his music. My Mom liked it. "They were good!" She'll be 70 her next birthday so she's heard a lot of music in her day.
If the Carytown event hadn't happened we probably would have made our way to Art6 to hear Rattlemouth. We don't have many traditions in our household but a long standing one was to dance to the Mummies wherever they played on NYeve. Rattlemouth features 3 former Mummies so its the next best thing.
Problem is, as open minded as my Mom is she just doesn't respond to that kind of beat. She's a tough bird, though! Happy 2007 to all, and to all a good night!

glad you had a good one amie o. yeah, your mom is a tough bird alright. that's why i love her.
we spent nyeve wiping up a flood in our basement. a pipe had burst and by the time anybody noticed it was 1" deep. needless to say we didn't go anywhere although we had plans.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the plumbing problems. Did you have a warranty on the purchace? Sales of older properties often come with one as a negotiating tactic. If so, it would pay for the repair, if not damages.
turns out that the pipe that burst was a washing machine hose which t. replaced today. i didn't quite realize that since i was down with a migraine yesterday. what with his dad's shopvac and 2 dehumidifiers and a little oil heater we've been managing to get the place dried out.
it still was a mess to deal with.
