We just barely made it to midnight, after an incredible dinner at my parents, with my visiting aunt & uncle, my cousin and his wife, and my mom's best friend and her husband. And four dogs and a baby who DID NOT want to miss a thing. Happily, she was down and out by 7. So we grownups ate like hogs, toasted each other with some lovely Veuve Cliquot at 10:30 because we didn't think we would make it to the new year, then surprised ourselves when we did. We watched Carson Dailey. Why is he so popular?!?!? G and I had our annual New Year's Eve Day fight, but managed to avoid the fight on New Year's Day. Phew. But we were wiped out from staying up so late. I'm still tired.
Happy New Year!

"But it�s different when your partner initiates a friendship with someone of the opposite sex, isn�t it? Or am I crazy? I�m not above admitting that I could be way off base here. Am I one of Those Wives, the kind you see in a movie played by someone like Joan Allen or Elizabeth Perkins, the kind who drive their husbands into the arms of Penelope Cruz or Charlize Theron on account of being such shrewy bitches, the kind who made their husbands want to be with someone less conventional, someone who will go with them to the museum in the middle of the workday and then blow them in the cab on the way home, someone like CHRISTINA THAT FUCKING WHORE?"
You're not crazy at all, because it IS different. As someone who spent the majority of 2004 miserable because of a Real Life Christina that fucking whore, I can promise you that a platonic friendship between a married man and woman can wreak as much havoc as an affair, particularly when one of the parties to that platonic friendship is a manipulative home-wrecking bitch and the other is a man who is too male to understand he is being manipulated by a manipulative home-wrecking bitch.
Not that I'm bitter or anything. :D

Midnight? Well, I was kissing the drunken husband who had, moments earlier, fallen out of a tree. But I was surrounded by good friends and plenty of champagne so I have no complaints. Ahhh...good times.
And I've TOTALLY had those dreams where you wake up in a murderous rage towards the husband. He's usually a pretty good sport about it...

It IS different, and I don't know why, or who made that rule.
We rang in the new year at our second party of the night (do two lame parties make one good one?), had the kiss and the booze,which was great, but I was holding a baby... not mine, and please don't tell me THAT'S indicative for the coming year because, no thank you.

midnight: i had just walked into a bar with very wonderful north african music playing loudly, and a lot of drunken north african people dancing in a circle (we never could decide if we had accidentally crashed a private party or not). We were drinking kirs with them just before busting out our own super-nice champagne under the table.
er, it does seem like everyone should be allowed to have friendships of the opposite sex - unless you live in a world where everybody is already coupled off -- but I cannot imagine that. If your partner did not ever introduce the friend to you, or bring you along on their outings, that would be Highly Weird and ground for a serious discussion. Apart from that contingency -- I can't imagine asking somebody I loved not to make friends anymore...

Midnight? I had been asleep for three hours already. Pregnancy is fun.

I was talking to Molly on the phone! I wish I remembered it. It was a big night with lots of good friends and LOTS of champagne. Wish you were there in person! Christina is a fucking whore.

oooooo.... I effing hate those dreams. I'll have one of those every 4 months or so, and the part that gets me mad is when I confront my husband during his cheating, he'll just laugh at me and walk away, kissing on his Christina That Fucking Whore. That makes me the maddest ever.
Oh, and midnight west coast was chill. Toasted with good friends with some Dom and kissed my husband all romantic style.

I have dreams like that, where someone does something terrible to me, but my first instinct when I wake up is always to get in touch with the person as quickly as possible and go "AUGH please tell me you still love me and would never tell the entire world I'm a dirty skankwhore with the intelligence of a housefly!" But that's me.
At midnight I was piled onto a too-small couch with some of my best friends - a lesbian couple and a gay couple, funnily enough - and while I had a wretched head cold, everybody kissed me before they kissed each other. So that was nice.
