Happy New Year's Lot! :)

Alaska and Hawaii are both behind California and the rest of the West Coast on this side of the date line (and part of Alaska is on the other side so they are that state is technically the first and last to celebrate the New Year).

It was really kind of insulting to those areas in 2000 when all of the networks went into continuous coverage for the full 24 hours but then pretty much pooped out after the west coast.

Anchorage, as well as most other major Alaskan cities, is 1 hour behind, but, as Alex points out, Alaska is huge and extends all the way to the date line, so parts of it are further behind.

Happy New Years everyone!

Happy New Year you swanky people!

Happy New Year.

Good tidings to all.

We just hit 2007 about 20 minutes ago on the Eastern Standard Time Zone.

For all you west coasters though (which is about 92% of you, I assume), have a swanky new year!

ahhhh- 10:31pm Mountain Standard Time- and we are kicking back at home in our jammies.

Foregoing the party we could have attended to stay home and relax. R worked all day and got home around 9pm- so we don't feel like going nowhere nohow.

We have cookies, candy, fudge and yummies to indulge in- games and movies- a warm house and each other to usher in the New Year. The bills are paid, there is food in the fridge, my family is safe and all is well. The holidays were good and I am excited about 2007.

I have good friends, some near, some far (though one who is very far will soon be near and I am excited about that!) and I have alot to look forward to. 2006 brought me wonderful new adventures and growth- and I can't wait to see what the New Year brings.

Happy New Year LoT- I happily look forward to another year in your company.
