FIRST Monday morning coffee corner!

Happy New Year everyone!


This is the Sand Box's first Monday morning coffee corner of 2007


We had a lovely evening last night... met old friends (we meet probably every 3 yrs or so) and had dinner at a nice Italian place... (3 course)   around 11;30 pm hightailed it to their house to watch the fireworks from their roof terrace... it was lovely. It's a German custom to eat sugar doughnuts with apricot filling after midnight, and Brigitta had spent the morning baking and frying doughnuts ......  a wonderful surprise and delicious.  All in all the conversation didn't lag at all, we had a lot of catching up to do,  we had a comfortable time (not a all night party atmosphere), and got home around 2am.   HOPE YOU ALL HAD A NICE TIME ALSO; NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID !


Woke up around 9:30 , picked up the bedroom , threw in a load of laundry, and started to pack my ceiling lamp,,, the little floral petals which make up the lightbulb covering have to be blister packed so they don't bend....etc, etc...    have a good start on that.


Lots to do today, odds and ends , dh went out to lunch with a friend (thank goodness, cause I need my piece and quiet and full range of the house..... LOL)   Dh's can really get underfoot as much as toodlers, I swear!


Raining today, whatever,,,will be home anyway...


got my XMAS tree down yesterday,,,, phew,,,dh chopeed it into little pieces and he vaccuumed the whole downstairs...  BRAVO!


So what are you up to today????????  Are the stores open where you are?  (closed here, and I'm glad)

It sounds like you had a wonderful time! We had some of our neighbors over last night. We had a few drinks and some appetizers. We talked and laughed. It was fun. None of us made it 'til midnight tho {blushing}. Today is a miserable cold day. The rain is freezing as soon as it hit the ground. I cleaned yesterday and I only have to do a couple of loads of wash. I'm planning on relaxing today. Tomorrow we get back into the groove of going back to work for me and dh and school for the kids.

I stayed in last night -- too many crazies on the road on New Year's Eve.

I didn't go to the downtown First Night. There wasn't enough stuff this year to interest me. And it rained lightly at the beginning & end of the event. I was cleaning the litter box at midnight (LOL) and heard people outside yelling & banging pans, so I went out in the rain & said Happy New Year to neighbors & watched some of the fireworks from afar. I kind of deliberately stayed up til midnight so we'd be awake 6 the kitties wouldn't be so startled by the sudden noise.
