Happy New Year!
Dustin's party last night was very fun. We played Werewolves (aka, Wink Murder, only with cards) and I was lynched 5 times even though I was a lowly towns person all 5 times. Apparently, when it comes to card games, I seem like a werewolf, but it was still fun and you got a present when you died, so it was all good.
Also played Apples to Apples, in which we pretty much disregarded the rules and just kept trading cards even after Dan technically won. It was extremely amusing.
We *tried* watching the ball drop, but apparently *none* of the channels give a damn about the Midwestern/Central Time Zone New Year, because the one we were watching went to commercial four seconds before midnight, and all the other channels we were able to flip to in time weren't even paying attention to a countdown. That is so not on.
In other news, I think I am already sick or I am getting sick and will be miserable by this afternoon/this evening with a cold, because I spent most of the day yesterday sneezing a lot more often than usual and my throat is doing that scratchy sore thing that is just irritating. Also, there was a little two-and-a-half year old running around at the party yesterday coughing and feeding us chips with his sticky two-year-old hands. He was a big fan of the guacamole dip, and every time he scooped some up on a chip for himself or to give one of use, his fingers ended up touching the dip a little bit. So, yeah... Kinda hard to avoid Little Kid Germs at that point. Still not sure if this cold is the result of me shoveling snow outside wearing only a long sleeved shirt earlier in the week (I was hot, darnit, and I didn't want to go inside and get a lighter jacket) or if it's from Mark (little two year old) or from a combination of the two, but I'm not going to begrudge either much cause I haven't gotten sick since mid-September and I *know* it is going to hit, so I'd rather it hit now when I have all sorts of free time on my hands and an All Day Bones Marathon on TNT to watch, than when school starts and I am buried under massive amounts of homework.
So, that is my day for now. Drink lots of orange juice, crack open my last box of Kleenex, and watch Bones. If I still feel human around 6:00 pm, I might try and join Dustin and co for some bowling at 5 Star, but I don't think that's going to pan out at this point. Woe for missing the chance to throw heavy objects.
