She's not judgemental, but factual w/ a bit of satire. Sounds like a fun party to me. I also stayed sober this year, for the first time in about 17 years, it felt great to wake up w/o a hangover! Happy New Year, Kim! I get the impression that some might not get the subtle affection Kim writes with, about her observances. She’s not judgemental, but factual w/ a bit of satire.

Though I can't remember any preggers teenaged daughters in attendance at any of 'em ... The hangovers were too painful and after 10 years or so, I started going to bed New Year's Eve. Lots less pain the next day. I saw ZL's twin in San Jose! Poor gal must have thought I was nuts, giggling like an idiot as I walked by her. Perhaps there's one in each city? Thanks for the memories, Kim. At least you had fun with the people watching! Cathy P.S. LOVED the Dale Earnhardt jacket and hat. Stylish NASCAR-branded apparel is always a nice touch when one is dressing up for a par-tay! NOT!!! I’ve attended parties like that in Hicksville South Monterey County in California.

"Disfunction breeds disfunction" I'm thinking you captured all the elements of exactly that with this family... I feel sorry for this unborn baby...I guess they'll be able to tell him/her that "it all started with "Grand-pa"...Quite possibly even with his father or grand-father...Welcome to our vicious cycle - Now you try and do better k - Here! Let's seal that deal with a shot of JD!" Sorry! Don't get me going on this shit either... Well, my NYeve celebration seemed rather "tame" next to this...Pinky and I had a quiet night at home, complete with movies and chinese food delivered to the door. Gotta tell ya, it was nice waking up feeling "fine" with the added bonus of full and total re-call of the night before...Welcome 2008! Again, I send out my "bestest" of wishes to Kim and fellow blog-mates... "Heres" and "Cheers" ...to a brand new year! Fonzie :~) Well, you know what “they” say…

That part of the drama seems to have worked out OK at least for now. And many many kudos and cyber hugs to you and Paul for caring for this strange little lady who has gotten lost in the world. My husband and I have avoided NYEve parties for the past few years because of the obvious moniker of "amateur night". Now I know what I've been missing. Perhaps we should rethink our position cuz there is a ton of fun to be seen according to your accounts. Happy and healthy new year to you, Kim and Paul and the rest of the crazy cast of characters. You definitely made my year better in '07. PS is there someplace we can write to protest the whole revamping of CourtTV thing or just wait and see if it crashes and burns?

This innocent baby will be born to a mother who won't have the maturity to care. Sorry.....stepping down from my soap box. Nay P.S. Thanks, Kim, tho, for sharing this holiday event. I have been to these kind of parties and had a neighbor's drunken daughter pitch my BIG platter of antipasto into a campfire "thinking" no one wanted anymore.....however, we hadn't started eating yet.

She's just trying to prep the baby for what's to come! It's unfortunate that our bodies mature faster than our brains! Well Kim, Katie’s kid is going to grow up in a house filled with smoke.

My 19 year old nephew showed up for my Christmas party with a hangover. He had been out drinking on Christmas Eve until 4 in the morning. His parents saw nothing wrong. He slept through the whole day on the couch which meant nobody else could sit down. At least he's not pregnant. I think we may be related in some way.
