Happy New Year!

Jan 01, 2008 18:04

It was a great one for us. We left Abbie in the capable hands of the girl from down the cul-de-sac (paid a hefty wage for her willingness to babysit on New Year's Eve) and went out on a dinner-and-fireworks cruise. Mother looked lovely in a champagne gown, and Hermione in her evening dress, and us gents wore our finest Muggle garb, and off we went in the stretch limo I'd hired for the occasion. Dinner was delicious, and I spent the evening slow-dancing romantically with my Harry and gazing into his wondrous forest-green eyes and thinking how lucky I am to have him to look forward to in my future... Midnight came, and we stood on the chilly deck kissing in the light of the slightly abortive fireworks (details of fireworks mishaps here) and then toasted to the New Year with our family. Just a really grand evening.

Today is so far a slow and lazy day, begun with a late morning and a quick and simple breakfast of quiche-from-a-carton and home fries and maple sausages from the freezer, and ending with all of us sprawled on the various couches and chairs, relaxing. Harry wants Japanese for dinner, and I may take Lady out for a walk down the block, but that's about as ambitious as I reckon we'll get. It's a good day for chillin'.

Hope your New Year's was as satisfying! I'm gonna go cuddle with my Harry-dumpling now.

harry-dumpling, my parents, holidays, ron and hermione
