winter must be cold for those with no warm memories...
so....last night i had a new year's eve cocktail party. it was supposed to be a dinner party but i decided that wouldn't work so i just made lots of wonderful hors d'ouerves.shawna and jeremy were the first to arrive followed directly by kimberly, breanna and ben. tish and emilee arrived shortly after followed closely by aaron. in the meantime everyone enjoyed some snacks and conversation. when that was over i decided to bust out hungry hungry hippos for people to play and that was a blast. i swear it took 20 minutes for them to figure out how to put it together! lol. breanna and ben sat on the couch and chilled for the most part during this. while playing some questionable jokes were made about a wrapper from the game. i'll leave it up to you to figure it out.... bre, ben and kimberly made small talk during this time and after what seemed only like minutes since the party started it was getting close to midnight and i decided to break out the champagne. we all stood for the countdown and toasted the new year together! people passed around hugs and kisses. it was joyous. and of course emilee and tish had to get their standard picture with JET! here's a picture with most all of us in it. or at least parts of all of us! lol. sorry shawna! then i broke out my individual new year's cakes for everyone to blow out and make a wish! everyone was so cute about it! and then i said "let them eat cake!!!" after that we played trivial pursuit dvd pop culture 2 which was hard! emilee, tish and shawna were "team sexy," bre and ben were team "music?" kimberly and i were team "groovy," and aaron and jeremy were team "sugar high" or something like that! everyone started to crap out a little while playing TP so i decided a change of game was in order. but before that everyone got a little bit kookie! jeremy was a breakthrough in laser surgery by having masking tape reconstruction surgery. aaron got hair transplants from emilee to make him look like tina turner! and after jeremy recovered from his first surgery he got a neck wax with some more masking tape! how fitting since he works for a tape developing company! anyways...then we played mafia for a few rounds. i was narrator and i think i did a fairly okay job but i stumbled a lot. when that was over bre and ben departed, followed shortly by kimberly and shawna. once they left there was no point playing mafia anymore with only 4 people so we all watched aladdin and deliberated on what it would have been like had it been produced post 9-11. we're not a very PC group. everyone was pretty dozy especially me because i ended up snoring. i guess i startled everyone including myself because i woke myself up. we had a good chuckle. after that i decided in order to stay awake i would clean up all the food so that i wouldn't have to do it after everyone left so they finished watching the movie and by the time they were done so was i. it was nice. after they all left i tried to upload all the photos but my computer was stupid so i went to bed. it was 5am. all in all i think it was a fantabulous night and not bad for like one day's planning. i guess that's all folks...all except HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! i love you all!!
