Dear noisy family outside with pots and pans....

[conuly]

It's been 2007 for six whole minutes now. The year is no longer new. Stop banging your pots and pans, stop shouting "Happy New Year" with more and more enthusiasm by the minute, and go inside and go to sleep. Get drunk, for all I care, even the kids.

It's now been seven minutes. Your own baby is crying. While this adds to the noise level, it's not exactly a good omen for the coming year, now is it? Some of us stay up past midnight every day. It's not that special.

I rang in the new year by moving boxes to the basement. I'm not inclined to be generous.

(Eight minutes and counting.)

kira was up with us till midnight. as soon as we'd dinged the triangle and shaken the bells, i took her upstairs to bed. after brushing teeth, pottying, and reading a couple books, all of a sudden someone started banging pots outside. it had to have been at least 15-20 minutes past the hour! did they forget to watch the time and suddenly realize it was the new year? people are annoying. :P
