Happy Friggin' New Year, Take 2
OK, so I just read my New Year's post from last year, when I was a new baby blogger. You can tell I was a new baby blogger because my only 2 comments were from my Offspring. I didn't even know most of you yet. I was mortified yet not surprised to see that nothing's really changed since I wrote that post. Which is pathetic.
Same shit, different year, people. I don't even need to write a New Year's post -- just click the link. Substitute 2008 for 2007, you're good to go.
The only thing that has changed from the time that post was written is that the Offspring will not be ringing in the New Year here at home with their significant others. Teen Demon is attending a party, elsewhere, with her significant other. Male Offspring's SO is out of town, he will be spending the night at a friend's house. The Bohemian is going to a friend's house as well.
My Seattle friend (I've really got to come up with a permanent moniker for her) and I were going to head down to Capitol Hill for fun and hijinx, but now with Batman acting weird toward Mason, I really don't want to leave them alone together. So I'm going to be partying with my dogs. At home. Wheee. My friend may come over, if she's feeling motivated enough. My suburb isn't exactly funkytown, if you know what I mean.
I'll be glad to see 2008. I know a date on the calendar doesn't magically change a damn thing, but it's a psychological marker for us humans, who will hang on to anything we can, to get through. Maybe this year things will be better.
Famous last words.
One thing has changed since last year's post. All y'all, to be precise. I have, in the midst of all the 2007 fuckery, immensely enjoyed getting to know you, this deliciously eclectic bevy of bloggers. Seriously, I am so glad to have "met" you all.
In the words of a famous beer commercial, I love you, man.
Oh, and Happy Friggin' New Year.

Have a Happy Friggin' New Year!
Here's hoping that 2008 is better for all of us.
Happy Friggin' New Year to you too darlin'! I love ya too, man!
I wish for you in 2008 a sprinkle of fairy dust that will magically create a superfantastic opportunity for you to relocate to Arizona and get the hell out of the PNW. It's nice and sunny in Arizona all the time. Blogland reaches to Arizona doesn't it???? You'll promise to stay in touch???
Out with the old, in with the new. Have a great 2008!
Congrats on making it through another year. And now you have virtual friends! Not that it helps when you need a lift to the store, but virtual friends sometimes "get" you better than the ones who live across the street. In my experience, anyway.
Hope 2008 is good to you, dear.
In 2008: may your house stop acting out; may your dogs not need to go to the vet or swallow peroxide while you watch them puke; may your kids continue to be as wonderful as they already are; and may you, my dear, have love and happiness abounding. And keep telling us all about it all.
Okay so the feeling is Mutal of Omaha okay.
Now that we've been all cool and "blaze" about it - you a good thing in my life these days lady.
To you, the off spring, and the kids... much love and all good things in 2008.
Love
Willym and Laurent
Cowbell, I appreciate the entertainment you have given me through your unfortunate and fun posts. So for next year...I hope that you can find yourself a good looking plumber/contractor to date. But only date them for a while (get things in your house fixed and then move on) Come next December you need to find yourself a Vet to date. I wish these things upon you with my magical wishyness. Have a great new year!...(I am staying home too, my dog freaks out at the sound of fireworks.)
Happy New Year! Just keep chanting, "2008, it's gonna be great" until you've completely brainwashed yourself. WooHoo!
Peace and Love to you, man
Happy Friggin' New Year! You are right about the bloggers. They have added to my life as well and you are one of them toots!
I hope the new year is one free of vet bills, plumbers and contractors.
Pass on my greetings to the family and with luck we will all be having a better year in '08. (Not to mention meeting up in NYC in the spring)
Happy Friggin' New Year to you too Cowbell.
I was in bed at 9 PM New Year's Eve - I'm such a party animal.
I hope the gremlins of This Old Mother Fucking House and Pet issues are banished for the new year.
I always see your comments on allan's posts and wondered about your name..and last night im watching a retrospect of snl and I see the band playing and cris walken saying i just need more cowbell..and it snapped...tada..like a bolt of lightning...hahah
I've enjoyed getting to know you too. Mostly I'm a quiet lurker in the corner, but I'm here and looking forward to your adventures and rants in 2008.
Happy New Year!
Whim: Hear, hear and a heartyass amen.
Speck: OMG, that would be the ultimate fantasy, there. Arizona... aaahhhhhh.
Gavin: Yes, I'll be quite happy about that Out With the Old business.
Java: cyberfriends rock.
E: Here's hoping! And you know I'll continue to tell you all about it, because bitching about it is better than ending up on the news for mass homicidal attacks on plumbers, electricians, vets, and furnace companies.
I'll be back for the rest of you ... the son needs a ride to wrestling.
Happy friggin' new year yourself cowbell!..It's been fun getting to know you and yours this past year.
Happy New Year! You certainly made my 2007 a richer year, and look forward to more in '08. Hope all is well with the pups...
Willym: Haha! "Mutual of Omaha means people ... you can count on when the going's rough!" Good thoughts to you and Laurent this year.
Sageweb: Yes, my dogs went into a barking frenzy at the strike of 12 last night, startling my friends who weren't expecting it. I'll keep my out for that plumber and vet...
Melody: Nothing wrong with a little self-brainwashing. Can't hurt! 2008 ... It's gonna be great ...
Evil-G: Love me some Evil Ganome. Happy New Year to you too, sugar.
RG: Yeah, get thee behind me, damned gremlins. I should've been in bed by 9 ... I'm out of practice in the liquor department, and am not feeling too swift today.
YDG: Hey, happy friggin' new year! LOVE the SNL skit. Makes me laugh every damned time. Lately though, it seems my life has had a little too much cowbell...
Mom: Wow ... that felt weird ... like my mom is here. A little lurking adds to the mystery. Happy New Year to you!
Slingster: Ditto that -- I love Sling's place. Kind of like Cheers. Happy 08 to you.
Tater: Oh Tater, I've so enjoyed reading your site this year. Happy happy to you and yours, friend.
Hey at least this year was better than last...no wait. My bad. (:
All good things to come my sweets!
Just you watch!
so your the type of lady that hangs out with her dogs....I used to that was sad! so sad! now we have 2 (we just got a new one) and I spend all my free time playing with them, grooming them and yes dressing them! I match my shoes to which ever bag they want to be carried in on that day! I am even starting a blog just for them! Sad! So Sad!
Happy 2008 Cowbell! Glad to have you on my list of blogpals!
Hat: harfuckinghar har ... no, this year was not, in fact, better than the last but I have high hopes for 2008. OK, maybe not high hopes -- it's not like I'm PollyfrigginAnna, after all. But I've been repeating Melody's mantra, and trying to hypnotize myself with it. It hasn't really worked yet, but if you do it long enough, you sort of start to see a Pink Floyd laser show, which is pretty fun.
Boy: Oh, say it isn't so ... you have purse dogs? Or, in your case, murse dogs? I have one dog who loves costumes, in fact, we're pretty sure he used to be a drag queen in a former life. Actually, he's more like a closet cross dresser, because he only dresses up at home, except for Halloween. And they definitely do not fit in a bag. Well, welcome to the joys of dog ownership. Do not, however, under any circumstances, start dying their hair to match your outfits.
A dog blog, huh? My dog had a page on Dogster, but then I forgot my login, and never updated it. It's hard enough to update my own damn blog.
Allan: Happy happy to you too --- here's hoping that 2008 will bring better times for both of us. (knocks heartily on wood)
"2008 ... it's gonna be great ..."
nothing changes and nothing changes and nothing changes.
oh wait! i think that was supposed to be
and all will be well and all will be well and all will be very, very well.
i am saying a final fuck off to meditations for the new year. it's pointless. i start out great and blow it.
maybe this year, if i blow it off in the beginning, the habit will finally take hold.
2008 is going to be a good one. i know it.
i do wish you and your fine offspring well in the coming year. it's been a pleasure making your acquaintance in this weird bevy of blogger pals.
Lynette: "i am saying a final fuck off to meditations for the new year. it's pointless. i start out great and blow it."
Ha! I knew I liked you. Happy, New and Improved New Year to you and yours, sweets.
