This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!

2009, and so it begins!
Its Official, 2009 has arrived...
We are all in the crowd, giving hugs and smiles and bringing forth good wishes for all!
I'm raising my glass of Sparkling Cider to all the Owls and hope we all have a wonderful, healthy and happy 2009! Wishing us lots of love and laughter and good times.
SacBarb Congrats on 100! I missed it because I was saying goodnight to Custard. He's not been feeling well today so decided not to try and stay up til midnight, his time.
Sac is having a 'mini Times Square' celebration with a ball that is going to drop. This is the first time and there are a ton of people out there already. I wouldn't be in that crowd for any amount of money.
SacBarb - Tucson is having on of those "Family First" things downtown and making into a "Time Square" celebration...... I, like you, would be NO WHERE NEAR that mess.........
That's why I'm drinking Sparkling Cider instead of Bailey's. If I was drinking Bailey's I'd be nodding off already. God, what a party animal I am! Crap, is right!
All my Christmas decorations are put away and the wreath is off the door. I am ready to start the new year with a clean slate. Not a particularly clean house, but a clean slate, nonetheless.
MEK I don't make resolutions but I did recently buy pedometer and I am going to make a very serious effort to at least move around more instead of sitting on my butt in front of the computer.
MEK, I want to get my scrapbook stuff organized too. I started it, as you know, but I need to clean out the big closet in the pool room so I can put all the organized stuff in it. Right now it is out where everyone can see it and I don't want it to stay that way.
j/l - LOL - I don't make "resolutions" either - it's on the "to do" list!! Hell, i keep rewriting that do list over and over again - and several things never seem to NOT be on it!!
Kelly Pickler does look different than when she was on Idol. For one thing, she got a BOOB job and she is wearing a lot of make-up. She doesn't look so innocent anymore.
I just checked out front - I'm sure the cops will be two doors down VERY soon - the mom is NEVER home and so that is the hangout - for the bad kids and they are out in force on the street!!!
Jodi, I know. It is one of my faves and I know all the words to the songs. I just don't have the energy to sing along...and the yawning doesn't help either.
FIRST
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYES - what a way to start the new year!!!
ReplyDeletewe JUST walked in the door from the airport!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm raising my glass of Sparkling Cider to all the Owls and hope we all have a wonderful, healthy and happy 2009! Wishing us lots of love and laughter and good times.

ReplyDeleteThis is THE year for good health, happiness, love, and prosperity, sprinkled with daily smiles and laughter.
Good night my Owl Friends, sleep well.

ReplyDeleteWe can't take credit for teaching him that, he came with that skill when we got him!
Nite Ronnie! Sleep well!
ReplyDeleteRonnie Sweet dreams!
ReplyDeletescirish Hi!
EBJ Around here, they'll probably continue with the fireworks for another week or two. It's so annoying!
Oh, yeah. And the M80's. That's even more annoying.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm signing off for the night! Sweet dreams everyone!
ReplyDeleteGood night, EBJ!
ReplyDeletescirish Happy New Year!
JL the ones I'm hearing now are pretty loud but I don't think they are the M80s.
ReplyDeleteThey are starting a little early!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the East Coast Owls.
ReplyDeleteMEK, first in 2009. Gratz to you. Glad your Mom landed safely.
Zona, raising my diet Pepsi to everyone too.
Hey to J/l, EBJ, Ronnie (g'night) and Scirish.

Then we get to do it again in 14 minutes for the real thing.
SacBarb - HOWDY!!!
ReplyDeleteEBJ - NO, i will NOT watch the new bachelor - NO WAY, NO HOW!!! I'm done!!
No fireworks in cornfield town!
ReplyDeleteEBJ does your parrott say excuse me? :)
Iteach - after you kiss in your own time zone -then you can wait for mine and then for the West Coast!!
ReplyDelete;-)
MEK We have so many people lighting off illegal fireworks, especially on July 4, it's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb - YES, I love your new owl. I need to get a new look!!
ReplyDeleteHi J/L. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJ/L - the cops are THICK around here on July 4th - they need to be out tonight also!!!
ReplyDeletewe thought we'd run into a couple of check points on our way to the airport - but there weren't any..

ReplyDeleteEBJ - at least Poe isn't REALLY farting......
ReplyDeletewhen I took mom's wheelchair back into the airport - I walked into a FART CLOUD - it was the nastiest thing!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!

ReplyDeleteJ/L, Sorry Custard isn't feeling well. Talking to probably made him feel better.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb - Tucson is having on of those "Family First" things downtown and making into a "Time Square" celebration...... I, like you, would be NO WHERE NEAR that mess.........
ReplyDelete109
ReplyDelete110
ReplyDeleteZona, Thanks. I like my happy blue Owl too.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb I know what you mean. The older I get, the less patient I am about crowds.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I will be able to stay awake til midnight. I was up a 5am because I couldn't sleep and my eyelids are getting heavy now.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb and J/l - I am trying SO hard to stay up also...
ReplyDeletei may not make it to my OWN midnight!!!
I'm sure once my midnight gets here and the neighborhood goes wild - i will have no choice but to be awake!!
ReplyDeleteWe are not living up to our Night Owl name. LOL
ReplyDeleteJ/L - LMAO!! isn't the truth.. but we can go to bed and the late shift can take over!!!
ReplyDeleteMEK Have we gotten (gulp) sensible?
ReplyDeleteI like "sensible", it sounds SO much better than (gulp) OLD!!
ReplyDelete;-)
Crap -
BIG YAWN!!!
ReplyDeleteMEK LMAO!!! I think they're the same thing. Don't yawn! You know they're catching and it will make me yawn! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm drinking Sparkling Cider instead of Bailey's. If I was drinking Bailey's I'd be nodding off already. God, what a party animal I am! Crap, is right!
ReplyDeleteheck, I'm not even drinking...
ReplyDeletemaybe I should start!!!
oh man - i am going to try SO hard to stay up for these last 18 minutes!!
ReplyDeletegeez........

ReplyDeletehell - I'm probably HALF of these first 125 comments!! LOL
ReplyDeletetedious is as tedious does!!!
ReplyDeletedid SacBarb fall down??!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ did she fall down! And she can't get up!
ReplyDeleteWe embrace our tediousness and celebrate it.
Damn! Another M80!
All my Christmas decorations are put away and the wreath is off the door. I am ready to start the new year with a clean slate. Not a particularly clean house, but a clean slate, nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteJ/L - the TOP thing on my "to do" list is to FINALLY get my scrapbook area all organized so that i can actually USE it !!!
ReplyDelete:-)

I'm up! Sorta. LOL @ did I fall down.
ReplyDeleteI was watching Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Pickler and they are BORING..........
ReplyDeleteMEK I don't make resolutions but I did recently buy pedometer and I am going to make a very serious effort to at least move around more instead of sitting on my butt in front of the computer.
ReplyDeletewhat channel are they on?
ReplyDeleteOMG - i just switched to ABC - poor Dick Clark.......
OH - there's Kelly Pickler..
what does she have on her eyelids..
ReplyDeletemy goodness!!!!!!!

Nine more minutes - where is Zona to start the countdown!!
ReplyDeleteMEK, I want to get my scrapbook stuff organized too. I started it, as you know, but I need to clean out the big closet in the pool room so I can put all the organized stuff in it. Right now it is out where everyone can see it and I don't want it to stay that way.
