Happy Hogmanay!

I figured today was a day for at least saying something, it being the last day of 2010 and all. I've got a rather busy day planned, so really, sitting on the couch with my laptop propped up on the armrest next to me isn't the *best* use of my time, but I'll look at it as keeping up with loved ones.

Scott and I are throwing a Hogmanay party tonight, so I've got a lot of cleaning to do. The house is pretty tidy, but I have all the fine tuning left to do. You know, hoovering, dusting, disinfecting. And um, judging by that sound in the kids' room, I might have a big box of blocks to clean up too.

But before I delve right into the housework, me and the kids are walking over to Maria's this morning to see Maria's family and Carol's family. Carol is back over from Abu Dhabi for the holidays, and it's been so lovely to see her again. It's nice having the whole gang back together.

(And why am I walking? You may not be wondering that at all, but I'll tell you anyway. Maria, Carol and I went out to Gourock last night. I wasn't planning on drinking, so I drove the car. But once I arrived, I was so in the mood for a drink, so I abandoned the car and had numerous cocktails with the girls. It was great fun. It just means now I have to make my own way back to Gourock to get my car...)

So anyway, happy Hogmanay everyone! I hope your 2010 was good, and I hope your 2011 is better!
