Ringing in the New Year

It’s time for Tuesday Topics, which I host with Jenn from Runs With Pugs. Today’s topic- How are you ringing in the new year? I do have some plans! They may be… unconventional, shall we say? To start with, my husband always works on New Year’s Eve (in addition to teaching music at a private school, he also still plays the trumpet professionally). He always plays for a New Year’s Eve party, and won’t be home until after 1 am. My son left yesterday to go see his girlfriend. Boo hoo! But- I’m happy for him, as they will have a much more fun New Year’s than he would if he were here. My daughter will be with friends. So it will just be me! And, I’m fine with that. In the morning of New Year’s Eve, I have a 22 mile run planned. I’m excited that the weather is finally cooperating! I’m going to drive to a trail I don’t usually run on, and I’m planning to enjoy this beautiful morning. THEN, I plan to enjoy lounging on the couch for the afternoon, reading and taking a well-deserved nap. At night I’ll watch the Cotton Bowl and do more reading- I’ll get takeout for dinner with a big Coke Zero. Yep- I really know how to live it up! Honestly… I’m looking forward to it. What are your plans for New Year’s? Could they possibly be as exciting as mine?
