NEW YEARS EVE 2006
it was the last day of the year 2006, and we had been invited to a friends home to watch a set of DVDs for the night to usher in the new year 2007. those plans were scapped when i recieved an IM (instant message on the pc from a service like yahoo) expressing the hubby wasnt feeling well.
we decided to go out to eat. somewhere we didnt normaly attend. we went to a resturant not far from our home, but the place was salp packed full of customers. i have an aversions to places that have a ton of ppl in them because of my weight. i feel ppl stare at me and wonder why im there, so i often opt out of an eatery based on population in the parkinglot. and this was no exception.
we didnt have to drive far when we ended up at applebees.

we were hoping to actually be able to be there long enough to usher in the new year around some other ppl, but, alas, murpheys law is a close relative to me, and they closed thier doors at 10pm (sign said 11pm).
craig and daniel enjoyed thier dinners. i chose not to really eat.

and about 34 seconds into 2007 we rememberd to watch the dropping of the ball in NY on tv.
i had expected more popps, and firecracker noises, but there wernt any. very little.

i was a bit amiss, about the fact my church here doesnt have a midnight breakfast dance for the NEW YEARS festivities. in Columbia SC, every NEW YEARS eve, theres an area dance that they hold for ALL ages, so parents can bring thier little ones, and a celebration at midnight of the new year comming in, and then a midnight breakfast for those who remained. its a great time to get together with alot of ppl from church in a different type of setting. but here in oklahoma, they didnt do such fun for the holiday. i missed that.
so, quietly and without much anouncement the new year of 2007 came creeping in without much warning. had we not already been awake, we would have slept right thru the event alltogether.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE FROM THE WILLIAMSON/CARMICHAEL FAMILY
