01/01/2005 Archived Entry: "Well that was fun"

We had a fabulous New Year's Eve :) Our Eastern Standard Time celebration went off without a hitch. We put Tabitha in the bath at 7:00pm and then moved all the clocks forward 3 hours. We turned on MTV because it shows the festivities in Time Square live. This means we had to sit through Kelly Clarkson, but we also got to watch Green Day and Jimmy Eat World. My mom came over and we all chose our party horns and donned our hats and ate cheese cake. Once it was "midnight" we popped poppers and blew our horns and celebrated nicely. Then we whisked Miss Tabitha off to bed (though she couldn't fall asleep and came out several times, as reported by my mom) and Chris and I headed off to our Pacific time zone plans. We went to a restaurant where the Friendly Indians were playing. We had lovely chats with our friends, there were pregnant lady jokes during the first set and the band was especially entertaining. At midnight we did the countdown and watched the ball drop, the band played a pretty cool version of Auld Lang Syne as we blew our party horns and kissed our loved ones. It really was just wonderful and I don't see how it could have been better.

So today starts 2005 and I wish you all a wonderful year.
