New Year's Eve

Well, here it is, December 31st and I just have to remark that this has been the most fun blog year! Thank you so much, Karl, for setting this up, and making sure it is inhabited with interesting, insightful, and delightful blogs. I was thinking that, on this New Year's Eve it would be fun to have a little contest of sorts, and see who could be the first to post a blog in 2008. I know that the times are always a little off on the posting. For example, as I'm writing this it's 4:20. I'll type a little more, and put a time at the end of my post, and then I'll comment right away, so you can see how far off the time is. Then you can use that strategy to help you post the first blog of the new year.

Now I know what you're all going to say, that you'll all be out celebrating, and that I'm the only one that doesn't have a life. but that's not true. Betsey and Rich are pretty much homebodies these days, and Edward and Meridth are in a new area, still making new friends. Who knows what they're doing tonight. Also, Ryan and Casey like to party with the fam, so they might be around too. We'll just see.

Anyway, just a couple more comments, and I'll end. Eleanor Iris is beautiful, and so quiet and good. Ed and I are so lucky we got to hang out with her for four days (and her mom and dad). We had a wonderful time, we loved seeing the play "Wicked" and we loved holding Nora!

Did you see the 3:16 pm? That means the blog is one hour and eleven minutes slow.

Good luck. I'll have to think of an award for the first 2008 blogger. (Of course it will be me, since no one else will be checking this out until tomorrow!)

It's also interesting to note that none of the months matched January with its 37 blogs. It seems we were all gung ho at the beginning. At least December had more blogs that November.

p.s. Karl, how was the game?

Okay, I'll only make one more comment and then I'll shut up. Did you notice that when I wrote the time after my name, it almost looks like a scriptural reference--you know, like James1:5 or something like that. I just thought it was funny.....Claudia 4:27. Blessed art thou, O children of mine, for thou art found in possession of such a rare gift, an OTT mom.
