Yoli The Party Mammal here,

I was wondering how some of you spend New Year's Eve.

Would love to know that my loves here will have a great time and be safe.

As for me, I was once a wild and crazy New Year's party puppy, but that was a long time ago, maybe two weeks Then, a friend was killed in an alcohol-related car wreck in the early AM of January 1 and that changed EVERTHING (or THANG, as we say here in Texiz.)

That next NYE I spent alone, reflecting on that sad incident. Yoli?...alone on NYE?...Yes.

Since then Ash(leigh) and I have hosted (hostess-ed?) a gathering here at home, using the big house's facilities. We invite a limited number of friends, usually a dozen or so, and they MUST hand over their car keys upon arrival.

They all bring their jammies, toiletries, and wot-tever else, and spend the night in the various bedrooms (5). Plenty of space for all.

We swim in the heated pool, have a pool "tournament" in BG's game room, dance, play Twister (sorry, no cameras), and eat and drink until we are comatose.

The survivors rise in the AM, and everyone pitches in to make breakfast. We usually swim...that makes the hangover go away sooner, so it seems, especially since I turn off the pool heat before collapsing earlier. THAT really jolts 'em when they dive in expecting warm water...giggle.

We have a nice dinner at mid-day, including Black-eyed peas, play croquet, badminton, etc, then settle in for some college Bowl Games.

Some folks stay over past NYD and some depart for home...soberish, happy, and ALIVE.

Barry usually stays for an extra day or two so we can "get busy" if we wish (and I do wish...blush... ) and Ash[leigh] joins in for at least one session of

fun and/or games with a certified eunuch.

The point of this post, really, is to tell all of you that I so very much hope you will NOT be alone or sad on the occasion and that, above all, you will live to greet the sunrise on Jan 1.

There's plenty of time left for all of you to plan a happy time, even if you are with only one other person to exchange a "Happy New Year" with. Plan to do so safely and my prayers will be answered in the affirmative.

Side note: One of the girls in the KKK(Kinky Kastration Koven) asked if I am "On the Pill". I replied that I am not. She sputtered "Well, aren't you afraid of getting preggers?", to which I replied..."Ummm...errrr... what are my chances of getting pregnant when I only have secks with Barry, some of the girls in the KKK, and BG? (on the rare occasion when he and spouse are here.)

"Ohhhhhh, but BG still has his you-know-wots, right?" she asked.

I asked her if she'd ever heard of vasectomy. Heehee.

I will admit this, if BG were not firing blanks, as he puts it (ever the Army man!) and I did conceive a child by him, I'd be thrilled. I also know that both he AND his bride, WOBG, would be delighted too and the child's future would be bright...three loving parents and lots of money to assure his/her wellbeing.

Yes, that's how close we three are.

Oh, a fourth parent...Ash(leigh)...as she just reminded me. Three moms, Wow!

I can just imagine Parents' Night at school...OMG!

Well, off to do some...care to guess? If you said "shopping" you are a winner.

The Christmas Bonus was amazing. 90% into savings, the rest to go nuts with at the mall and BassProShops (they have lots of girly stuff, but it's the Fudge Shoppe and the fishing toys that get to me.) with. The restaurant at BPS is OK, but pricey, and the bar is OK too!

My most sincere love and best wishes to all. You have much enriched my little life.

Off I go...Snippety doo-dahhh, snippety ayyyy.

I have made no plans yet. For reasons I do not want to go into here, I NEVER PLAN AHEAD when I can avoid it, I am always at my best when I am "winging it."

So I will make my NYE plans on NYE. At least I have a bottle of "California Champagne" in the fridge.

Now, this is NOT my "plan" you know, but I will possibly just stay home, lift a glass of my California Champagne, and remenisce about 2007. Never make any "resolutions."

I hope to stay home, watch a good movie and passing out in my chair.

I will be spending the night with the gentleman for whom I provide care. He is 89 and will retire around 9pm. That is when the fun begins. I will turn on the TV and pop some corn. Oh wait that is it. Save me Yolanda!

'Party Mammal' - I like that Yoli )

We'll have a couple of close friends round for dinner. I think we'll be making an Italian meal this year. I'll make cocktails - probably something long like a Collins or gin fizz (or Champagne if everyone prefers) and we'll listen to jazz, and talk and laugh, and exchange Christmas presents and kiss. Then we'll eat pasta with seafood, lots of salad, and pizzas, all home made and quite light, washed down with a good Chianti. Mrs Riven will probably make something rich like a chocolate pudding (or we'll have Christmas pudding if nobody feels they had enough a few days ago). Then we'll go into the lounge and listen to some more music, or perhaps watch a movie. I got True Stories (David Byrne) on dvd for xmas, a movie which we saw on television many years ago and I can't wait to see it again. I know our friends will be as fascinated as we were. I'll make Greek coffees and we'll drink scotch, burbon or cognac. We'll probably feel inspired to put on some loud music, turn on the disco lights and dance, or we might make our own music. My son and I play guitar, my wife plays bass, and our friend brings his bongos with him. His wife will probably grab the maraccas and dance if we get the right groove going. At midnight there are always fireworks let off by people around here so we get a good show from the lounge windows without even having to go outside. Our friends live in the same village as us so they can walk home, when enough of us start yawning. Then we'll sleep and it'll be 2008, and life is good.

Tugon and I have similar plans. I have about 6,000 movies recorded and 4 bottles of Guinness that Ken_SD and plix donated. I'll pick a movie or two, drink Guinness and try to make IEunuch laugh in the chatroom.

Save us both Yoli

Uncle Wolfie (WOBG's pet name for you, I recall.)

I hope you and Toogie (new pet name for Tugon) will have a pleasant evening. I just wish I could add to your supply of adult beverages. Two Guinnesses (or is it "Guinni" if plural?) per capita seems a bit meager...sniff.

By all means make IE laugh. He needs it, as do we all.

I hope your trials and tribulations re your mom's situation somehow lighten up and that you win a modest but sufficient sum in the lottery.

God Bless you, Uncle Wolfie.

As promised months ago, I will try to post at least one group pic from one of our party weekends at Lake Travis. There will be several people in the pic so you can have fun guessing whom is whom. (You'll figure it out, I think, including spotting Ash(leigh) and, if I can track the right one, even the now-famous Barry...but you'll never know for certain if it's really us you've selected. At least you'll know we're in there somewhere. Another problem is respecting the anonymity of others in the pic, so the selection process is difficult and time-consuming. And, just now, I have higher priorities. See: Shopping, Hunting, Secks, More Shopping, Planning for a flight to Tempe AZ early on Jan 2 (OU v. West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl) and (dare I say it?)...WORK!

The ONLY reason I've not already shared a personal pic with all of my friends here should be an obvious one...Security.

I've been warned, re-warned, and re-re-warned about that by BG, WOBG, Ash(leigh), and the one law partner in our firm who "knows all" (well, not quite ALL, blush,) about my little kink. He's the one with the huge I've told you about catching an accidental glimpse of.

The main concern is that someone here in the San Antonio area will see a personal pic and say "Hey! I KNOW that girl! She works for Stick'Em, Sic'Em, and Screw'Em!" and the next thing you know I have someone demanding money and/or sex to keep my cute 'lil secret OR causing embarassment for the firm...OR...stalking me...AND/OR...showing up at our home demanding that I perform "surgery" or at least pretend to.

Quite some time ago, Ash(leigh) stopped me from sending one, privately, to a member of EA. I really wanted to 'cause I thought it would perk him up and I was worried 'cause he seemed so down. I also trusted him. Still, maybe it was better not to do it, sad though I was to let him down. BTW, he didn't press the matter but he did seem so, well, wistful.

I think you can ALL understand the problem and agree that certain concerns are paramount, notwithstanding my desire to please everyone.

Thanks for that understanding.

Love to all, just the same.
