I, myself, am not a fan of the holiday. As a kid we always went up to my aunt and uncle's place in the mountains where we would play games until midnight. Many times as an adult, I have done similar things gathered with friends to play games, hang out, no one drives anywhere, no $100/ head fee etc. Just togetherness and fun. The problem in LA is you have to drive everywhere. Henceforth, I volunteered to work. A ready made excuse to not participate. It isn't that I am not looking forward to 2009, or am in a bad place right now. I am actually in a very happy place and happy time in my life. The future looks great, I just am not a fan of the whole New Years Eve thing. Still, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and please be safe, there ARE a lot of amateurs out there.

Amateur Night
My best friends husband coined the phrase, Amateur night for New Year's Eve. I adopted it, because it is perfect. New Years Eve is an international excuse for normally logical well mannered people to be stupid. Not that I haven't been stupid on New Year's Eve or other nights, but on New Year's Eve the stupidity is rampant. All kinds of people who typically never drink go out and decide that it is New Year's so you must get sloppy. Hence Amateur Night.

Thanks for being where you are tonight. I kind of feel like since you are there taking care of your little charges, you are in a way taking care of my family members who are in the hospital and in need of care this New Years Eve. So on behalf of baby Cooper, my mom, and the rest of our family, THANK YOU to you and those like you!
Love, Suz
Thanks Suz
