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)

DH and i went out to a club where a friends band was playing,DH was the sound guy.

I actualy got to get really dressed up.makes a change from jeans a t.shirts.

We had a really good time,got home around 2-40am then couldnt sleep,so we had a hot cuppa-tea amd watched Pirates of the caribean,i didnt make it all the way through,went to bed at 4am then couldnt sleep,i was cold,got up and put another blanket on the bed,DH came to bed around 5 am just as i was dozing off,then his snoring kicked in..Grrrr,i maybe got about 3 hours sleep.

I took down the Christmas tree and all the decorations,gave the living room a really good clean,stripped the bed and put clean sheets on,did two loads of laundry and im now waiting for dinner to finish cooking.

Tonite will probaly get to bed early in the hopes of getting some sleep.

A few minutes after midnight, everything quieted down. We all went to bed. Then at maybe 12:20, someone nearby set off some kind of very loud thing. Kitties jumped! Ha!
