Whats everyones New Years Plans???????

[cookie3031]

So whos going out and getting trashed???????? :p I will be at my parent's house. Its my sister's birthday, and every year we celebrate it at mom, and dads. We play cards, eat a ton :rolleyes: and ring in the new year together. I dont know about you all, but new years is kinda depressing. I mean, you never know what the new year will bring, kinda sad!!! :confused:

Hey cookie! We aren't for sure what we are gunna do. We know we sill be spending it with friends, just not where yet. Maybe at our house drinking, eating (not me of course!) and playing cards...but we'll see. Anyway, I look at the new year as such an exciting thing! Time for changes...opportunity...a fresh NEW year! Dont be sad! It's gunna be GREAT!

Well as far as I know Im not doing a thing. Most likely sleep right into the new year..lol. As for being sad about a new year I have to agree with Miss. I find a new year great, so open to all kinds of great new things, fresh start, a whole year of possibilities. Kinda like a new day, you can see it as depressing cause you dont know what is going to happen but that is true every day really. Face it with the excitement of a child at an amusement park for the first time. There will be those big scary rollarcoaster rides but at the end you laugh at how it was really not that bad.

Having friends over for the new year... they will probably get at least a little schnockered, but I am teetotalling it. First of all because of calories... but also, maybe someone can answer this question, doesn't it say somewhere not to mix alcohol with phen?

Another question... would it be a bad idea to take a 2nd phen new years eve to be able to stay up?

Why not just wait until later in the day to take the first dose? If you dont plan on sleeping at all then 2 doses will take care of that but not something I would recommend. If I need to stay up I just pop that first does around 2 pm. They last about 12 hrs for me then Im out like a light.

For many years we had a New Years Eve party with three other families (friends of mine from college and their kids). When the kids were littler it was so fun! We celebrated New Years at 9:00pm PST (midnight EST). First we'd have a contest - chili cookoff, or best dessert,silliest hat, something like that...complete with silly trophy of some sort. At "midnight" we shared champagne/sparkling cider toasts in our fanciest glasses, noisemakers, small fireworks, and then danced, limboed, etc. until the kids were exhausted. Everyone was on their way home by 10:30 or so, before all the crazies were on the road. It was great.

This year, the kids are at the age where they want to be with friends. Boo Hoo. SOOOOOO, we're having a New Years Day Open House. I'm just putting out food & stuff, and who ever comes, comes. Hope it works out. I'll kind of miss the kid parties. We had so much fun.

Drinking with phen is fine. I wouldnt take 2 phen to keep you awake. Do as Nitra said and take it later or take a Metabolife at like 3 pm. Youll be sure to see the ball drop then. Good Luck.

Thank you Lynn and Nitra... I didn't think about delaying the dose until the afternoon! DUH! I will take your advice and party hearty (still without alcohol though).

Have fun everyone!

About delaying the dose -- Now I've only been on phen for 2 weeks, but this week I started taking it around 2pm, rather than at 10am. I've been having a piece of fruit for breakfast around 10, having some lunch (lately it's been tuna with a wee bit of light mayo and a thin slice of meunster cheese on 1 slice of 12-grain bread and an orange) around noon, then taking the pill at 2. That way, I'm feeling pretty full for the rest of the day. Of course, I'm drinking tons of water (with lemon) all day too!

As for New Years, my younger cousin and younger sister (19 and 20, respectively) are coming up to my apartment tonight. They're spending the night, then my cousin has to work from noon-6 tomorrow, but is coming back after that. We're just gonna hang out here with my hubby and have strawberry daquiris (I know I shouldn't -- sugar AND alcohol!! -- but I'm going to!) and have a calm shindig here.
