The best way to get a paint off a dog is to wait a few months. :)
We watched a movie, and I worked a bit. Then we took the broom and swept out 2007, with a thank you for being so much better a year than the three preceding, and welcomed in 2008 with wide arms and much hope and hopefully a fair amount of graciousness.
My son took over the broom this year, which is right and proper I think.
I've always hated to go out on New Year's eve for fear of missing this ceremony. :)
Besides, my family of origin used to throw a huge New Years Day party, so New Years Eve was always spent at home rolling meatballs and doing whatever prep work needed to be done. New Years Eve is associated in my mind with eggy meaty hands rather than with champagne.
