New Year's Eve was pretty dismal this year b/c I was exhausted from being woken up the night before by partying neighbors. My rents and I went to Church and then out to dinner at a place they like but I don't particularly care for and I kept feeling like I was gonna fall asleep. After that, I went home I cleaned up a bit, took a shower, brushed my teeth and went to bed. New Year's Day however was great! I hosted a tea party and invited my parents, sister, and dad's 3 sisters that live local. I made tea sandwiches, baked cookies, and brought in pound cake, muffins, candy and assorted teas. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Candy looked like she didn't quite know what was going on but she did fine. There was plenty of food left over so I packed some of it for lunch today and told my guests to help themselves. It was a great way to kick off 2009.
2008 was an interesting year for me some of the most memorable parts:
