One of my least favorite holidays of the year...

...is just a few days away. There has always been a build up to New Year's Eve that I have never understood. There have been a few years when I have said, "Bah humbug!" and stayed in and went to bed. There have been years when I have been at parties and left shortly after the stroke of midnight. I think the best time I have ever had was a black tie event put on Bayou City Boys Club at The Warwick. Everyone was dressed up, there was great music, and a wonderful midnight breakfast. Many people that I know were there. Another memorable year was the black-tie dinner in Wayne's backyard in a tent. It was a catered event and a small crowd. With the exception of those two years, I can't say anything else is memorable except for the year that I de-friended someone before the stroke of midnight.

And don't worry, I'll be at a party this NYE with some friends. Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper will have to party on without me in Times Square.

And now that 2009 is about over, how many of you were successful in keeping your resolutions? I stopped making resolutions because I could never keep them.

So yes, I'm in a funk because NYE is just a few days away. And why aren't there any peppy songs about NYE? Just askin'.
