I tried this last year and it was fun.
OK at this moment it is 31 December 8.40pm in Adelaide South Australia, still 37C. I'm wearing an over sized T-shirt and not much else.
I have a Bacardi and Coke and listening to the neighbours play in their pool.
It is a nice evening and I feel good.
And you?

9.30 in Sydney.
First round of fireworks has been and gone, very pretty and a good view from my balcony north to the harbour where all the fireworks are set off. It's massively crowded in the city but I am only about 5k away.
Have a nice bottle of wine open and will get drunk on the fumes alone.
Yes I'm a very cheap drunk! :laugh:
Not as hot as Cindy as quite cool and about 25C.
There is another round due in about an hour then midnight which is quickly approaching. Less than 3 hours away.
For the very first time I am looking forward to what the new year will bring.
Watching a classic movie, Dr Strangelove.

It's 11.30AM in the UK and I've already finished work today. So tired from getting up so early that I doubt I will make midnight! Though I do have to young American cousins over for Christmas (6 and 3) so no doubt their loud noises will keep me awake!

8:38 am. Rhode Island.
I'm wearing purple thermal pyjamas with a deer and snowflakes
I am teleworking. I have a coffee and enormous, bottomless jug of water.
My feet are cold and I'm getting dressed soon...
It's 19°F... -7°C outside.
Outlook tonight? Early to bed... but not too early... and I will be having my first drink on HRT (De Struise Pannepot 2011).

8:47 am in NC, approximately 47.7 degrees f outside and I'm sitting on my butt on my couch with the tv going in the background and just reading stuff online. Thinking about having another cup of coffee and maybe one of the little cherry pies I bought yesterday cause our vendor didn't bring anymore with him, so I felt a need to buy what we had left before some random customer did.

8:03 A.M. here in the frozen tundra. I just finished shoveling last night's installment of snow. More on the way later today. Someone should design some sexy thermal underwear for those of us who must endure months of bitterly cold weather. Thinking warm thoughts about 2014 despite the cold. Hope you are too.

I'm just sitting here watching Seinfeld. A few people have talked about getting together out at the house. I doubt I will go since it will just be a headache with drunks and the like. I can't drink so I don't want to be there anyway. A single drink or two is okay, but I can't stand being around people that are totally plastered because they usually act like idiots.
I might just watch the ball drop on Earthcam or something. Unless I get an invite for a smaller party that won't devolve into drunken stupidity.

10 mins to midnight here in France and just below freezing. In a few minutes fireworks and Chinese crackers will be going off all over the place and generally people come out on the street to wish each other a happy New Year.
So from France, with a few minutes to spare, happy new year to all of you!

4:40 West Coast of USA - Oregon
2013 is finishing up nicely
Decided that I wanted a low-stress "End of 2013", so I took time off work on Monday and today.
On Monday, my spouse and I had a wonderful lunch with Maddie (MadelineB)
Started today with some chores: Up early to put the garbage can and the Recycle Can out at the street. Re-filled the Pellet stove (120 lbs of pellets).
Continued with joyful relaxation: Made a pot of Tea before waking the spouse (she is not a morning person), we just relaxed around the house, I was an Internet Potato most of the day.
Trying to decide on dinner plan: Eat left-overs or go out for BBQ Ribs (or Pizza)
The "Big" New Years Eve Plan: Watch some Big City Fireworks on television after dinner, then 60% change of going to sleep before midnight.

Minor hangover from the previous night's activities... wait... what? I had one beer.
I'm having lots of water, too (before bed and after).
Happy New Year!!

Welcome to being a girl (physically) :)
oh and its 8:57am est, 17 deg F just a few towns North if Kabit. I am lying in bed because I don't want to get up and do laundry (lol great, I am starting off the year procrastinating). I am still tired but my dog woke me up.

Thanks :D It is surprising, but I'm blaming the sprio... and I guess it was really 2 beers (12 oz at 10%ABV).
