Happy New Year!
Yes, my friends--I'm posting from the new place. All of a sudden, there's a nearby wireless signal that I've been able to pick up. I don't know how long it'll last, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can.
I hope you all had a great NYE. Chad and I went to a local place right on the corner, about a mile away. We were only going to "pre party" there and shoot a few games of pool, but before we knew it, it was 11:30 so we figured we might as well stay for the Big Show. (The shots may have had something to do with the accelerated passing of time.) In what can only be described as an inspired moment of evil brilliance and quite possibly one of my best "pranks" ever, I pimped Chad out to a leathery, VERY butch, 50-year-old truck driving lesbian. (Her and I were sitting outside talking, and she was drunk and telling me about her problems with her girlfriend. I told her that when *I* was having issues with men, I always threatened to "go gay," so maybe she should try going straight for a night. "That's a great idea," she slurred. "I've had it with this f*#&#^ b*#&#^." Then I helpfully told her about a good friend of mine, Chad, who would be glad to help her out. I brought her inside, introduced them and then went back outside on the bench to revel in my brilliance. Not 30 seconds later, Chad pokes his head out and says, "Im going to f(*&^%%% kick your ASS," before she pulled him back inside again. OMG, she was all over him, trying to take him home. I'm laughing again just thinking about it.
Anyway, he escaped from his girlfriend around 1 and we headed back here, where we proceeded to shotgun a case of beer. (Yes, my friends, we are 33 year old adults and are living like frat guys. But in our defense, we saved the heavy drinking for when we were home for the night. We had a few shots but we were also there for quite a while. And really, it ended up being a really cheap night, since we were working with Natty Ice--which is also part of why I felt like hell for most of Friday.) Anyway, I was actually wearing more beer than I actually got down by the time we were done, since I am horrible at shotgunning, as it turns out. (Also, beer sprays really far. He spent a good part of yesterday cleaning up the kitchen, while I laid around and cursed HIM for making me drink so much beer, which was probably HIS revenge for my little matchmaking attempt.) We finally tapped out around 5.
I hope you all had great evenings as well, no matter how you spent the night.

Yay! I'm hoping your new wireless signal lasts!
Sounds like you had a fun New Year's Eve.
We went to a friend's place who also had kids. We ate & drank and I'm pleased to report that I actually stayed awake until midnight! (This is no small feat for a tired new parent.)
I can't believe it's a new Decade! The 0's were great for me. I wonder if the Teens will be able to measure up?
Yeah...I'm not as thrilled with the first decade, other than the fact that I went back to school to be a teacher, got a job and moved to FL.
Okay, so it wasnt all bad. But I'm still single/unmarried with no kids. So that kind of sucks.
I'm glad you guys had fun times!
We went to my friend Kristina's house. She and Jude have three kids; Brent went to Pre-K with their oldest, Alex. We had a Mexican Fiesta food spread, so we all ate too much to feel the effects of the alcohol, LOL. But we ALL stayed up til midnight, except for their 4-yr-old. Brent thought it was so cool to stay up that late and watch the ball drop. A few days before, he had seen construction of the ball on tv and he asked me, "what happens when the ball drops; does it destroy the city?" LOLOLOL.
And Anna? Midnight is no small feat for this old mama. Last night I was asleep on the couch at 9:45. Party animal, I am :-)
Let's hope the Teens bring all of us wonderful things!
(sigh)
I think you ARE an alcoholic.
