2009

Did you all have a nice New Years Eve? We sure did!! We had a couple of invites for different events and gatherings (Really we did!! I promise, we do have friends!!!), but we chose to just hang out at home instead, for several reasons...
- Neither of like the idea of driving around on New Years Eve...too many drunk drivers.
- I had several really busy days at work, and didn't really feel like getting dolled up and going anywhere...pj's and a ponytail sounded much more appealing.
- We are homebodies. Not that we don't love a good night out...it's just that we love being together at home.
- We are old.

Yup, Old. Don't believe me?

Exhibit A:
On the way home from work I was thinking about how exhausted I was from the third insanely crazy day at work in a row, and thought how nice it might be to get to bed early. Like 10pm. On New Years Eve. Old.
Exhibit B:
While on the same drive home, I was listening to my usual contemporary Christian music station when a particularly rockin' song came on and I actually thought to myself "Does it have to be so loud?" I then hit the search button, and was pleased to find a comfortable Rod Stewart song on the easy listening station. Old.

I am however happy to report that I not only made it past 10pm, we stayed up until 3am!! Can you believe it? Me either. But we had so much fun watching movies, playing Scrabble (cauz that's how we party-types roll), eating snacks, drinking cocoa with Baileys in it (yum!) and just talking about all the good times of 2008. It was a great night.

And then today has been spent sleeping in (until noon!), undecking the halls, and relaxing... I must say, I like the way 2009 is starting...
