Freezing in the New Year

This morning I really wanted to ski.  Unfortunately the temperature  was -5 degrees which made for some frigid skiing.  We made it out for about 2.5 hours before the cold took us hostage.

So cold after the morning ski.  Even my hair was frozen.

Nevertheless, tonight is New Year's Eve and I hope everyone has something fun planned.  Regardless of where you are, you are bound to hear and possibly be forced to sing "Auld Lang Syne." The title of the song literally means "old long since" and is a Scottish song.  In case you are interested, here are the lyrics, though I know most people only sing the first verse/part:

Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind 

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and old lang syne 

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup !

and surely I'll buy mine !

And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,

and picked the daisies fine ;

But we've wandered many a weary foot,

since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,

from morning sun till dine ;

But seas between us broad have roared

since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there's a hand my trusty friend !

And give us a hand o' thine !

And we'll take a right good-will draught,

for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Happy New Year Everyone! Be Safe and I look forward to bringing you more Everyday Domestic Diversions in 2011. 

-Best Wishes for a Safe and Happy New Year!
