This is my new polo shirt Someone gave me for Christmas. It is acid pink – a flamingo on crack. Ain’t it fabulous? I gave him a pink shirt too. His is more soft/warm/pastel pink. After all he is a ‘Spring”. Now we can go out in public as a couple of pansies.
As is my wont, the first word of the new year is “Rabbit”, said for good luck.
I think of my brothers, as we have done this since we were little boys.
I will read “The Little Match Girl” this night, as is also my wont.
Someone and I don’t have any NYE plans. I will watch Times Square – 10PM MST – and go to sleep.
I wish Spo-fans the best for 2010. May this new year be something marvelous for us all. May it be the best year ever.

love love love you in pink…FABULOUS! Hope you have a great night even if you’re just comfy and safe at home. Had I known you had no plans, we’d have had you over for dinner.

LOVE the shirt, although us moms would probably call it Barbie pink. You have an interesting rhythm to your new year practices. I like it better than drinking and staying up late.

Happy New Year to you two, too!
Lovin’ the hot pink! Your hat even goes with it. How coordinated.
No plans here, either. We’re staying in to avoid all the amateur drinkers. There’s a reason people wish each other a “safe” new year.

Happy New Year!!! I hope you and Someone have a fabulous 2010.
If I get out of work tonight (its been a bad week) we are going to my friend Roland’s NYE Party. Roland lives in South Philly so we will get to witness a local South Philadelphia New Year’s tradition: Burning the X-mas Tree in the middle of the street at midnight. All over South Philly this happens…until the cops come; it is quite a show.
Philly also has their annual Mummer Parade on New Year’s. Bring on the String Bands!!! Then we will watch The Doctor (Dr. Who) regenerate. It should be a good day.
Happy 2010 Spo!!!

You shall be the light of the party in that shirt! Fabulous is right!
And I’m so glad someone else does the “Rabbit” thing. Our family tradition, too.

“… a couple of pansies…”
That made me laugh. Happy new year to you both. It’s already 2010 here and I have a slight hangover. Let’s hope that the ONEder years are a decade to remember for all the right reasons.

I cannot count the times that we have seen what a [lesbian] friend of ours calls “major appliances” – large women who play softball, etc., etc. – out in touristy locals sporting identical outfits. I know that this is moderately politically incorrect, but whenever my significant other (of 32 years) and I find that when we’ve dressed in different parts of the house in preparation to go out, and then discover each other in similar attire, automatically we say, “Lesbians”.
Don’t wear the pink shirts out together. People will get the wrong idea.

It seems, in my memory that pink rabbits are words that go together …. in certain circumstances. But, I’m sure your life is far too ordered for this to have happened.

Happy New Year! A little late, but with total sincerity.
