It's
New Year's Eve and I'm sitting on the couch with two of my grandgirls
and the third is in another chair next to us. We're watching
transformers on TV. Well, they are watching Transformers. I was
shelling pecans but I lost interest quickly.
The
grandboy and his friend are watching TV in my workroom. Sometimes TV
and sometimes X-Box.
It's
cold outside and dark and we have a lot of fireworks to set off
later. No one seems in a big hurry and dinner is being prepared.
After
offering them only either oatmeal or cold cereal the past two
mornings, I have a big breakfast planned for tomorrow...eggs, bacon,
and blueberry pecan pancakes.
Yesterday
I made a huge bowl of tuna salad, today it is gone and I had to go
buy some lunch meat.
Our
sleep and wake cycles are off. There has been a Breaking Bad
marathon on the TV, every episode in order. The better half of the
last three days has been devoted to watching. In the end, last
night, we had to stay up til 2:30 to see what became of Jesse and
Walt.
Today
I restrung a favorite wind chime that has been awaiting mending for
years.
This
has been a good last day to a good year. This has been a good year.
i am glad. and glad you have your grands with you to usher it out. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly wonderful way to wave goodbye to 2013 and welcome 2014. Happy New Year to you and your grands. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteI like to put cooked bacon in those cakes sometimes. Sounds good, made buckwheat cakes with blueberries yesterday.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice end. I have nice memories of those sorts of marathons with my mom. And happy new year. I believe it comes by you in a little while.
ReplyDeleteDoing a chore that has been lingering for ages seems like a good way to kick off a new year! Happy New Year, Ellen!
