It’s New Year’s Eve. For pretty much every New Years of my life that means going to sleep on the couch at 9 pm (except for Y2K, in which case I stayed up looking for looters and waiting for the tap water to turn to blood. It was a very disappointing New Years.)
This year, however, I’m in New Orleans wearing my $29 evening gown and planning on crawling under a table to go to sleep at 9pm. Where ever you are and whatever you do, I wish you a happy New Year and I’m dedicating this song that Victor and I are preforming for you here. Except that we couldn’t get the video camera to work and I can’t play a ukulele and Zooey Deschanel has way better hair than me, so instead…next best thing:
PS. I don’t do giveaways, but as a “Thank you” for being so supportive and wonderful this year I’m sending the first 5 commenters 2012 Bloggess Calendars.
PPS. Be safe out there party-people. AAA is offering free, safe rides home. 1800-222-4357. Dont drive drunk. Pass it on.

If it is cool out you can use a snuggy as a wrap and then you’ll be extra comfy when you fall asleep under the table.
(Check your email. ~ Jenny)
At least the bottom of that dress will fold up into a nice pillow so you will be comfortable under your table…

Happy New Year! I hope it’s filled with joy!
1. your $29 dress is beautiful
2. i love AAA for offering this service
3. is it ok that i kinda HATE Zooey Deschanel and her f-ing perfect hair?

Oh My God … I typed super fast with a short message ’cause you have soooo many fans the last time it said no comments when I submitted it was number 60! But now that I am for sure in top five and have stopped jumping up and down and screaming, I can say Thank You!! And Happy New Year! Love your blog, love you, thank you for making this the best day of my life !! Uh wait, I have had a wedding and two kids – make it the third best day then – you can trump the wedding just not the kiddies! lol!
My big sexy hairy butt is stayin’ at home, avoiding DUI charges. Besides, I lived through New Year’s Eve 1999, and frankly, there’s no way any other party is ever going to top that one. We all debauched and debased ourselves so hard that night, even John Belushi would’ve been embarrassed for us.

I am a big fan of going to bed at 9pm on NYE, so I fully support your plan of sleeping beneath the table. The bonus of this holiday is that people will just think you’re drunk.

My daughter that is. She has the stomach flu. Cleaning up my own vomit would be far less gross of a NYE. Yep.

Well, have a Happy New Years!!
My girlfriend was 10 kinds of pissed that she missed being in the top 5 but then i pointed out that with todays discount she could buy one for less than $20. Which means that i ended just buying us a bloggess calendar. I’m pretty sure i just got played, but what she doesnt know is that I’m ripping ou the BE NICE OR ILL STAB YOU one for myself. She’ll just think you made a caledar with only 11 months. Which sounds a lot like you actually.
Your $29 dress is awesome, and you look so beautiful in it. Have a lovely time. I’m staying up until it’s midnight somewhere else, because midnight is just way too late here.

Just make sure the floor under the table isn’t too sticky. And strap a note to yourself that says “I’m a zombie, if you wake me up I will eat your face.” That kind of thing discourages unwanted attention.

I love $29 evening gowns. That’s so my speed. I was so proud in high school when I got my prom dress for $20. Everyone thought I was nuts, but I looked good, so I didn’t care. Happy New year, and I’ll probably be asleep under a table by 9pm too.

Happy New Year, Jenny!! Your $29 gown is gorgeous (and you look pretty tasty in it, might I add) and I also had a very disappointing Y2K. I stood on the front steps waiting for downtown Atlanta to go dark but instead, there was just silence. And then a shitton of fireworks as all the drunkards in Decatur started partying it up all over again.

PS: There is a $41 evening gown I desperately want but my hubby says I can’t have because I have no place to wear it. While this is true, I still want the dress. I look good in it. Do you think I’d go to hell for buying it anyway or in a worst case scenario, shoplifting it? We all only have 355 days left until the apocalypse. Does it really matter? LOL

I wish I knew how to post a picture for you of my royal blue beaded and sequined killer super sexy totally form fitting dance dress that I bought at Goodwill for less than $20. It has MAJOR low cleavage and MAJOR high leg showage. Best thing about it? The guys never took their eyes off of the top and bottom long enough to notice the sausage rolls waistline poured into the middle!

Damn – I missed getting a free Bloggess calendar by 153 comments, or something like that. My math sucks, and so does my timing. However, I want to wish you a Happy New Year, and a Belated Happy Birthday! I spent my New Year’s Eve asleep at an unheard of 10 pm due to ridiculous cedar fever symptoms that hit me as soon as I entered Central Texas after traveling during the holidays. Which meant I missed tequila shots and my boyfriend’s fabulous barbecue because I was too damn wasted on cedar sperm.
On the upside, I dreamed that I was on a plane with you and Victor, and you were trying to fly the plane. Zombies were not involved, but it was a little scary that you were attempting to fly the plane. I have no idea what this means except that perhaps the Benadryl I took was fucking with my dreams. In any case, I guess you could say we spent New Year’s Eve together, even though I’ve never met you and you frightened the bejesus out of me with your flying skills. I hope that isn’t weird or anything.

That was great. Zoey has been one of my favorite actresses since Elf and Eulogy. So happy with her new show.
Happy New Year to you! So glad I found your blog. You make me laugh in a year where laughs are few and far between. You give me hope for my 19 year old son, who went from being a hyper crazy kid to a teen barely making it through a fall into depression and social anxiety disorder.
So, thank-you.
Happy New Year, and thanks for the guffaws. Your dress is pretty. Zooey Deschanel has people who do her hair before she tapes stuff like this. You have nice hair, too!
All happiness in the coming year to you and all of your readers!

Whenever there’s anyone in your home that’s making you feel like you’re in hell, kick them out! Especially ridiculous boys. And especially since you sound too young to have teenagers, in which case you make them stay in (but in their rooms not the living room) when they make you feel like hell. (It an inverse universe thing.)
Happy new year!

Can I just say that in your “$29.00″ dress, you look like 100 bucks! Oh, looks like I already did.
You look amazing in that shade my dear!

That’s a great dress. I am concerned about the carnivorous dolls behind your head though.

ARGH!!! Wouldn’t you know it. I made a pledge to not buy any new stuff this year (except for cleaning and hygiene products) and forgot to buy a new calendar before the January 1st but didn’t see this post until it was too late. Well, now I guess I’m off to cruise craigslist for a 2012 calendar. Bummer.
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
I missed the free calendar by two days but I bought one anyway because I need one. NEED one. Happy NY’s!
For New Year’s Eve we stuffed our faces with chocolate cherry cookies and champagne while watching Netflix movies. It was pretty awesome.

Illness among dear family members can be so disheartening. I’d love to see a post with your thoughts on the top ten ways to keep your sanity while dealing with doctors/testing/chronic illness.
Nobody could do it better.
Bought multiple calendars so my best kinda F’d up friends and I could all enjoy our special kind of humor all year long – YOURS…Best gifts ever!
Happy New Year!
Did I win???

$29 kinda is a lot for a dress, but we all think you are worth it, so stop the emabarrassed and carry on with the proud. How did the very glamorous dress work at the gala? Did people clap and gasp is awe? They better, ’cause you are our Bloggess and we love you.
Here’s to hoping that 2012 is full of fabulous $29 dresses for us all!

Yes. yes, Terri Wilhelm, you did win. You are a winner. In my book anyway.

Pretty dress. Love the color. Happy new year.
I can’t believe I’m 180 late for the “give away”. I need to check in more often.
I was there, too! In New Orleans, that is. And I was wearing my $30 little black dress!
Yay for cheap dresses in crazy places on New Years.
You look awesome in your dress, by the way.
May you have many more occasions to wear it. Or other $29 dresses. They’re the best.
happy new year!
