Happy New Year! Let’s Watch The Ball Drop Together!

December 31, 2018 by tamaratattles 128 Comments

I could have sworn last year we all chatted about how bad Andy Cohen was on the CNN NYE countdown with Anderson Cooper. I can’t seem to find the post, but I recall there was a lot of pot involved. People were getting high on TV. Don Lemon was…well Don Lemon only drunk and high. It was a hot mess. Did I imagine all of that?

I plan to switch back and forth between a few channels. What are you going to watch?

Ryan Seacrest is back on ABC again with Jenny McCarty hosting from Time Square. There will also be a New Orleans feed and a west coast countdown. It starts at 8 pm. It doesn’t look like we will have Mariah Caray this year. None of the performers I’ve seen listed seemed impressive. At all. But I am not that into music and am old so your mileage may vary there.

Carson Daily is hosting on NBC starting at 10 pm. Chrissey Teigen and Leslie Jones co-host. Plus Keith Urban will host a Nashville countdown. The musical guests look pretty decent. John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Peter Frampton! and Bebe Rexha among others. 

 AC Squared is on CNN and I will probably suffer through it again this year. Don Lemon will be in New Orleans getting shitfaced on live TV.  I miss Kathy Griffin.

Fox and Fox News both have their own countdowns that I will probably pay no attention to.

I have champagne chilling and lidocane patches on my lower back to numb the entire experience.

So um, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I plan to make a lot of comments unless I pass out early. I just made a run to Kroger to buy peas and greens for tomorrow completely wore myself out.

On the other hand the random gunfire has already started and Banjo is probably not going to let me sleep. He’s already losing his shit.

What are y’all eating and drinking tonight? Why didn’t I buy one of those cheese balls covered in nuts at the Kroger? What a missed opportunity!

    Currently watching Song of The Thin Man With William Powell and Myrna Loy on TMC. I’ve been watching all the Thin Man movies today on TMC as I spend my second day totally overhauling our home filing system. After this, it’s a DVD of season six of Longmire.

      Oh my God that absolutely terrible-a tragedy and you should feel free be talk about it to people as you need to- just not anyone that tells you that you should be moving on more quickly or NOT talking about it. I’ve learned that many people are uncomfortable with their own feelings so they try to rush you through the process. People used to be given time to grieve, it was respected but now everyone wants to hurry you through it because they’re uncomfortable with their own feelings. Support groups and therapy can be immensely helpful. Please take as long as you need to grieve There is no set text book way to to do it. I’ve learned that one goes in an out through the stages as described by Kubler-Ross in varying orders.
      Sending you love and blessings in this New year.

    I bought a pre-dough wrapped Brie with apricot and cranberry jam already spread on it. It is in the oven.

    I was helping my folks this weekend on some stuff, so the cat and I decided to stay over (my usual MO with NYE is either staying home with CNN in PJs, or MAYBE going to Seattle with a friend or friends if there is a good Broadway production we can get tickets for.

    We’re fixing dinner later.

    I have a bottle of prosecco, but I also have boxed wine (Bota is the good stuff).

    Right now, it is only 5:16, and we’re watching the People’s Court. I’ve heard that Andy and Anderson are already doing shots. Might get to be a good shit show!

    We decided to chill at home this year eating tacos and not being crazy. Usually we are at the beat redneck burning of the boughs! We burn everyone’s Christmas trees, one every 30 minutes until the largest at midnight. There are times we have caught the yard on fire, we always have one firefighter or cop in our mix and chain saws. People usually leave their kids there when they head home. We’ve done this for years, but our usual hosts are both sick and nobody wants to get sick. Next year we will all be back at it.

    Some unforeseen things popped up to delay our all nighter, lol.
    Which means that we will reschedule and be asleep by 9:00. That’s okay, we have fun however long we make it.
    Figure we can use hearts(Valentine’s) or bunnies (Easter) instead of Santa’s for our hollow chocolate. See, all good, and I am going into 2019 with positivity!!!
    Hope everyone has a safe night, and TT, thank you for a great year of posts, laughs, tears, and wonderful commenters.

        TT- have you ever give Banjo Frosty Paws. They are kinda like doggy ice cream. Peanut butter flavor is my dogs favorite. They also come in mint flavor. It comes in a little cup and the dog has to lick it, so it can take 5-15 minutes for them to eat. They get one on Friday and Saturday nights. At about 8pm on Friday and Saturday nights they start “asking” for them. I still can’t figure out how they know when Friday and Saturday is. Warning- Frosty Paws do not taste like ice cream at all. They taste like a frozen Milkbone dog cookie.

      I know that I’m in the minority, I like both Andy & Anderson but something was rubbing on someone’s microphone & it was driving me nuts. I kept thinking that when they came back from a commercial it would be fixed but I don’t think it ever was. Then when they started talking to Patty LaBelle it was like no one remembered about a time delay so they were all talking at the same time. And they all just kept on talking at the same time. I finally just fast-forwarded past her so I missed Andy’s awkward comment to her.

      Anderson was kind of entertaining as he took more shots. He was saying some pretty out of character things. It was probably in his mom’s book but I still don’t think he would have mentioned it if he hadn’t already had 3 shots. He brought up about how his mom slept with Marlon Brando. And the way he shook and shivered each time after he took a shot was pretty funny. Evidently he rarely drinks.

      I saw a clip, at some point in the evening, of Ryan Seacrest standing out there with his hair pasted down on his forehead. He looked ridiculous . What is the reluctance to wearing hats at these things?

    My old Boxer dog is pissed that there are 2 holidays involving fireworks. Normally during a cold Montana winter when she needs to pee, I open the door and let her out, she does her business quickly, comes back to the door, barks and I let her in. Tonight, because of the fireworks, I have to get a damn coat and hat on and go out with her while she paces and worries and DOESN’T do her business right away because she is freaking out over the boom-boom-boom, which starts up here around 6 p.m. and goes to about 2 a.m.

    We used to go out for a nice dinner and drinks, making it home before midnight to watch the ball drop. We don’t do that now because she is so stressed out. So here we sit, drinking tequila and waiting on a frozen pizza, and taking turns standing outside in 10 degree weather with this old girl who seems to think she needs to pee every 20 minutes due to stress. Now that I think of it, she is probably doing us a favor making us stay home.

    Ha! I almost thought Banjo was pacing and talking..

    I went to early dinner at Claim Jumper and got home early.

    am would possibly watch Anderson without Andy, or Ryan without Jenny, but not watching.

    Still quiet here, but still early.

    All is fairly quiet here on the NC coast. The bald cat has snuck into our bed with the poodle, the red beans are simmering with the ham (something different this year) & Fly Boy is watching cage fights in the den, sipping wine with his cheddar & crackers. I just finished a large Red Velvet/cream cheese muffin & am ready to pour myself a short vodka & diet tonic. Fly Boy insisted on buying me Seagrams, & I didn’t have the heart to tell him I prefer the bite of the really cheap stuff. We’ll retire soon, probably for something better than watching a mechanical ball drop. There’s no TV in the bedroom, but Fly Boy has a nifty sound machine that plays ocean sounds all night. We are both long-time boat owners & divers, so that sound machine likely hastened our romance. This will be our first New Year’s Eve together, so special for that, but one that stands out in my memory was back in the late 1980’s at Twin Harbors, Catalina Island. The late great Rocket Man & I had moored our sailboat there, near those of several friends, & we celebrated aboard our Yankee Rogue. I’d provisioned full-on with champagne & lots of treats, plus extras like hats, horns & other noisemakers. The only difficulty is that we all knew that sleepytime comes very early on boats, so all together we came up with a brilliant solution to our dilemma that allowed us to celebrate in fine form. We (very) loosely calculated that midnight in the Canary Islands would occur at 5 pm California time, so that is when we had our countdown to the New Year, complete with noisemakers, toasts & kisses all around. Such great fun that we figured by 6 pm it must be midnight in the Azores, so we did the whole thing all over again. Wow, even better! By 7pm surely it was time to celebrate like the folks in Bermuda. We did one more imaginary time zone for good measure, & everyone had dinghied back to their own boats & was sound asleep in their own bunks before 9 pm California time, even though we had partied hearty for hours.

      I stayed up past midnight for the first time since I got laid off from the Monterey Herald in 2011. I no longer watch those ball droppers. Too many cornballity “jokes” and it’s not midnight here when the ball drops. God, I miss Champagne on NYE. Drinking non-alcoholic Sparkling Pumpkin Spice. Good. Made pork chops with plum sauce and cauliflower fried “rice” with edamame. Delish. And a new flavor of Fiasco Gelato. I think I can try one more before starting keto on Jan. 6 (The Epiphany.)

      I spent the evening knitting hats for friends from Paradise who lost everything. I keep thinking I am breaking the old lady knitting stereotype — and then I remember: I AM an old lady knitting!

      Happy New Year TT. Thanks for many hours of laughs this year.

    Went to dinner with The Husband at our favorite restaurant; they are still rebuilding thanks to Hurricane Michael. Food was delicious and he had a nice bottle of Moet e Chandon in the fridge for when we got home. Into our second glasses now. We’ll be ruffling up my sheets soon to welcome the New Year and he will head back to the hunting camp.
    I get one more night of “sleep til I wake up” with cats laying along my body and two draped across (rib cage and hip). I need to win the GD lottery so I can spend more time enjoying myself and less time being stressed.
    Happy New Year, ya’ll <3

    I watched ABC for awhile, but I don’t like Jenny McCarthy. Stupid Spectrum is saying CNN is currently unavailable, so I am streaming that mess on my smart TV. They didn’t ask for a password so it’s free for a anyone who is interested. I worked part of a day today and got all ready to go out, but didn’t feel like it. I am still in my full makeup glam, tipsy, and cooking tofu chorizo and seitan chicken with the dogs. No fireworks around here.. Thank God!

    We stayed in and reluctantly watched CNN. It was terrible. We waited for Don Lemon to be super-drunk in New Orleans, but even he was subdued. At least he was in the Marigny again. We REALLY miss Kathy Griffin…

    Our cats were terrorized by the fireworks so I feel for everyone who had scared furbabies. Poor things.

    We couldn’t toast at midnight because hubs had dental work yesterday and couldn’t drink alcohol. We will dig out the bubbly next weekend and fake a New Year’s.

    We wish everyone a very Happy New Year and hoping for the best for all of us.

    I never leave home for the party, but was fortunate to have about 15 friends come over and their kids. Great food, great conversations and laughs. The weather in Ohio was warm and windy like a late summer thunderstorm was gonna happen. So got to spend the evening out in the garage enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Now i have a house full of kids, no hangover (which kind of scares me because i drank a lot of beer and fireball) and pork and sauerkraut in the crockpot!

    Didn’t even stay up for midnight this year.
    I watched season 5 and the all stars season of top chef over the last few days.
    Man, I never realized how much Richard (Blaze) whined if someone else won a challenge.
    He literally bitched about almost everyone else who won, and why they shouldn’t have.
    Really changes my opinion of him.
    Anyway, hope we all have a better year in 2019.
    Don’t want to talk politics so I won’t go there, but wish American’s, from U.S.A.,
    could somehow, or maybe, um….oh hell, it’s giving me a headache thinking about it.

Kids screaming in stores at their mums, “mama” “mama” “mama” while mom is on the phone yacking about nothing important, ignoring her kids, driving me nuts. PPL can’t even walk across the street without that damn phone in their ear, as if yacking is more important that possibly avoiding getting hit by a car?
      Anyway, no cell phone here, either, TT. I’m cell-less and proud of it.

My sister has an adult child with multiple special needs who is often in the hospital when I go to visit he phone blows up constantly with her youngest sons friends. She is like everyone’s “mom” It;s literally nonstop we cannont have conversations without her phone blowing up.
