Just Put Your Lips Together...

Like NotCharlotte, I have also begun to worry about my New Year's Eve plans. The past few years I have had AMAZING NYE celebrations. Last year was when I was sort of dating NotRoger so after my normal partying at my favorite bar and of course kissing NotDreds at midnight, I headed down the road to NotRoger's place. Let's just say I was there for awhile.
The year before that I went to my same favorite bar and kissed NotDreds at midnight and had a great time drinking and having a good time with my good friend NotSusan.
The year before that was my NYE to be proud of...the year I kissed 5 people and I'm not just talking pecks on the cheek or even innocent kisses on the mouth. I kissed hot strangers, hot friends, and even had an invitation to continue the evening from one (I declined.)

But this year has me stressing. I was even thinking about it on my drive into work this morning. Who thinks about their plans three weeks away at 730am? I DO! Because I am thinking about this to the point that I almost just want to stay home to avoid the stress and expectations of that night. If I go to my favorite bar then I can probably kiss NotDreds again but I'm not even sure of the situation of going there with NotSusan. If I hang around closer to my usual stomping grounds then I'm fairly certain I will go home disappointed and without a kiss. I like to be spontaneous but I also like for certain things to go a certain way and me getting kissed on January 1st is essential.

But what about this...My January 1st kiss can happen AFTER I've celebrated and slept and begun my day, right? I wonder if I could work up the nerve to kiss NotJason on the cheek later that day...This way I can go with the flow for the evening and see what plans transpire from now until then but I won't need to stress about being in the right place at the right time. Then I can find someone either that night or even later that day and give them a kiss. And a kiss on the cheek counts, too, right? It does...I say it does.

Oh phew...I feel a little better.

haha, i am totally shunning new years this year. not sure why. but i do know that i have always hated it and this year i have chosen to let that ugly humbug become apparent to every man, woman and child i may or may not talk about new years with.

just kidding, kinda, i am avoiding making any plans with the idea that sitting at home on my couch would be more desireable. though i am not sure it will be...hhmm

Ah! I hadn't even thought about the Midnight Kiss! So many possibilities...so much more excitement...

I'd go with the kiss during the day for NotJason - who knows what it would start??? It's a new year...new beginning...go for it!

I've decided that any kiss from now until the end of January will count for my "New Years Kiss":) Because I realized that NotJason might not be in town on the 1st and this way, I won't be disappointed:)

Okay I started stressing about NYE two weeks ago! IS that normal!? NO!!! We can stress together. I hate being single when all my friends are in relationships. Hmm. Maybe I could get Ben AND Jerry to be my NYE dates!

Hehe, It does! Unless well, depends on what cheek. Ok, I went there. And Im sorry.

Anyway, dont shoot me or anything. But this is one of the reasons I got married. TO avoid the New Years Kissy thing. It's dreadful isnt it? Blah.

But yea, the cats out of the bag. I married Ben so Id have someone to smooch with at 12.

Im so with you gorgeous girls on this one. I think we should change the rules and high five instead!
