Ringing In.
Here we are, New Year’s Eve… well, the day of, anyway. Needless to say, I’m not looking forward to going back to work, and as it is, I don’t know if I’ll be at work next week because we had a death in the family this past week and I have an appointment on the 3rd, that I planned to take the day off for.
Some edubloggers are writing about plans for the new year and I feel a little twinge of jealousy but not too much. Mostly, I’m just relieved that January promises to be an easy month, given that we have finals at the beginning of the month, and Regents at the end, so it’s only two weeks of teaching.
Tonight, I’m looking forward to a madhouse evening at my sister’s apartment. We went to Costco yesterday and bought a boatload of hors d’oeurves. (We wanted to go to Stew Leonards but the parking lot was a traffic jam…scary!) We’ve got a bottle of champagne left over from the wedding and it’s my job to go stock up on sparkling cider for the kiddies. I wonder if I can find those plastic champagne glasses, too?
Whatever you’re doing tonight, stay safe, stay sane and don’t do anything stupid (though if you’re planning to go into the city, I guess you can forget that last one!)

Thank you! It’s actually a close family friend, which is the same thing, in my book.
And my month is getting off to a good start… I have an appointment with Stacy in a few weeks. yay!
