Now it's any other day...but when I was a kid it was filled with fun activities. Usually a bunch of friends would do a sleepover party and the night seemed to last forever. Once we crawled into our sleeping bags at 2am we were kept up by giggling and cracking jokes. Throughout the night we'd watch movies, eat junk food, hold wrestling matches, play video games, etc. It was fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979914565647698188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-37160944488441412912009-12-30T22:52:12.046-05:002009-12-30T22:52:12.046-05:00What an absolutely fabulous and well-told story! ...What an absolutely fabulous and well-told story!

The friend's birthday is Dec. 31, and he'd celebrate at a local restaurant that he rented out for the occasion. He's also one of seven siblings, almost all of whom had kids close to our age. So it was pure kid mayhem all night long. We'd stay up to 2 or 3 am, watching the NYE celebrations on the big screen TV. Wait, this would make a great blog post for tomorrow, lol. =)RainyDaySaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132492632322814192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-55427065196678881612009-12-30T13:28:19.587-05:002009-12-30T13:28:19.587-05:00There are many wasted hours in my childhood, all s...There are many wasted hours in my childhood, all spent trying to whistle with my fingers.<br /><br />Ok that's not entirely true. *shamefully looking down* actually last summer I saw a video on youtube of someone trying to teach it... I spent a week trying to get it and couldn't.<br /><br />I love New Year's. I always try to be outside when the actual minute ticks down. It's silly but I still feel like I should notice the difference.TS Hendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965357024150434808noreply@blogger.com
