Well, I was right. . .today was a _very_ long day! But I had a great time last night, and wouldn’t have given it up for the extra two hours of sleep I’d have gotten if I’d stayed home! Thanks Anita! ---

Thank _you_ for helping, **TPFKA Birdgirl**! Your coconut somethingorother cake was fabulous. I want to thank everyone for coming and for making the party so much fun. **Olentzero** : Those websites you showed us are hilarious, but now I’m going to get a fat ass for sure. I sure hope your hand has healed. Kathy Everone’s got quite a bite to go with that bark. **Danceswithcats** : Thanks for making sure the place didn’t burn down. **Ginger** Thanks for bringing the yummy Christmas pudding. I’m sorry we made you sick. **Norinew** : Thanks for the coffee - some of us really needed it! **Oxymoron** and **Anamorphic** : Thanks for travelling so far just to come to our little party (everyone else: shut-up). **Iampunha** : Thanks for bouncing, or at least for trying. **RT** : Thanks for limping over. I sure hope that in a couple of weeks that ankle is all better for NYC, _YIPPEE_! **Ben** and non-doper brother, and everone else who came: Thanks for coming and Happy New Year! To whoever it was that suggested to me that I should stop with the Cokes and start drinking beer at midnight: I’m going to get you for that if I ever figure out who you are. It wouldn’t have been so bad except that the party wasn’t nearly over at midnight, and I ended up drinking beer until 4:30am. Ow. ---

Anita and beer? That’s unexpected. I’m sorry I missed Olent getting bit. I wish I had missed Olent giving me a brumsky. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > **Anita and beer? That’s unexpected.** Well, yes, but not unheard of, especially when you consider that for the first _eight hours_ I only drank Coke, and I didn’t need to drive home. Since I was stuck (trapped, really) in the kitchen, I missed a lot of the action, so I need to see pictures. Come on folks - cough 'em up! ---

Hey **Anita** and **danceswithcats** , that double top secret thing I told you about with the goat and the bird turned out to be nothing at all. D-R-N-K drunk. ---

Sorry to have missed out on the fun it looks like y’all shared (yes, yes, and the great salsa…_sigh_). Happy New Year to my fellow MADs–any plans for future (January? February?) gatherings? cheers / moi ---
