I took the kids to a game party and while the kids we off playing upstairs all the adults played Just Dance. I think this is the first NYE in a while I wasnt eating or drinking the night out. It was a blast and although Im ready to move forward with my goals, Im kinda bummed 2010 is over. I did good this year!
I met my friends out a bar, nursed 2 beers over the course of a few hours then switched to water while watching most everyone else get drunker and drunker.
We ended up being out until almost 1, so far past my bedtime!
It is heavenly to wake up this morning not hung over, not feeling gross from bar food, not regretting anything.
Friends came over early. We chatted, sipped champagne, reviewed the year's joys and sorrows, munched some leftover frozen goodies, petted dogs, laughed a lot and wound it all up around ten. Strangely enough 2011 arrived without us!
Had the grandboys..watched the ball drop...went outside to hear the guns and fireworks being shot off....then to bed...my early riser grandboy had me up before 7....
I had a glass of wine at 6pm, and was soooo sleepy by 9 I just had to go to bed. Awakened by the firecrackers and shotguns. Turned over in bed. Happy New Year.
This was the first year in a while I actually rang in the New Year, sort of. At 12:01 I texted all my kids including DIL and wished them a HNY and I played games on FB and had a Mikes Hard Pink Lemonade...so exciting, lol.
I stayed at home with Dexter and watched the MTV bash, and saw snooki being dropped in a ball. We did have some cheese and crackers but I did not overdo it. And of course Dexter, once midnight came, yelled outside at the top of his lungs "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" like he does every year. But no, no partying or drinking (I don't drink, never have) on our end.
Did some strength training, ate dinner, talked to my parents on the phone. A bit after 11 I walked to a bar where I nursed a sloe gin fizz and a midnight glass of champagne provided compliments of the establishment. Argued with myself about getting a third drink, decided not to, paid up, went home about 1.
My husband had to be at work at midnight to clean streets since our storm is over here in Nebraska, so he took a nap and I stayed up to get him up, as soon as he left, I crashed, slept through the whole thing.
I went to a Stars game then to NYE in Big D. There were too many drunk people at Victory Park so I don't think I will do that again. It was impossible to leave. I didn't have anything to drink.
I loved my New Year. We went to a Navy Base Lodge without the puppy. We ate subway subs, had some Champagne, had some chocolates, had some love and had a great New Awake, New year yea us.
