so far...
The very brief recap of 2009 so far...
Oh NYE 2009, you went better than I could have ever expected. I thought no one would show, I thought I would be too depressed to celebrate w/o Annie (or Justin, who had insinuated he might just show up), I thought I would get stir-crazy and want to go out to one of the many events in the area, despite the hefty price tags.
Instead our small, intimate party was all people who knew and liked each other and got along famously, with the help of a well-made champagne and fruit punch.
David, Kandarpa, Elizabeth and Stephen joined the regular cast of 1724 carmen. There was couch cuddling, apples to apples (seems to be a theme on my friends list... I had never played), personal stories, much teasing, good music, goofy pictures and more wine and champagne. It was lowkey, but exactly what was needed.
I had ambitious plans for the first day of 2009, but we all got a late start and becky and joe and i drove to downtown to visit stephen @ his job (nerdy knitting store called "loopy yarn") and then off to H&M to spend xmas giftcards. Unfortunately we required food, and by time we ventured back to H&M (during normal business hours!!!), the store had closed, operating off of special new years day hours.
Nothing crazy this weekend planned. Bought hair dye and cookies and ice cream. Exciting. Though the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow, so I want to be out and enjoy it.
