Happy New Years everyone!\u00a0 May this year be full of love and happiness.<\/p>\n
T and I were discussing our resolutions yesterday.\u00a0 Mine was to exercise more, eat better and spend less.\u00a0 His was to make sure I was happy.\u00a0 Sigh.*<\/p>\n
Anyways, T, Roomie and I had a small group of friends over for New Year’s.\u00a0 Roomie’s holiday plans were unfortunately canceled at the last minute so she was forced to celebrate it with us.\u00a0 It was supposed to be a casual gathering before we walked to\u00a0a local bar, but Roomie believes in being a good hostess.\u00a0 What had originated as a get together with some beer and pizza turned into a four course meal.\u00a0 Roomie spent much of the weekend\u00a0making dumplings, fudge and cookies – all from scratch.\u00a0 I “made”\u00a0lasagna (i.e., stirring what\u00a0Roomie\u00a0asked me to and\u00a0sneaking off the minute Roomie looked away).\u00a0\u00a0T and I\u00a0bought an assortment of appetizers and sides and our friends\u00a0brought a sea of beverages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We spent the night eating, drinking and playing\u00a0board games with some of our best friends.\u00a0 T and I had a\u00a0slightly tense moment during Taboo\u00a0– perhaps our second official “fight<\/a>” of the year?\u00a0– related to our competative natures (well,\u00a0his more then mine!)\u00a0but it quickly passed.\u00a0 Taboo has always been one of my favorite games, but it may now\u00a0have some competition.\u00a0 A friend of T’s gave him what may be the best game of all time<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n We ventured out from the apartment around 10pm and\u00a0rung in the New Year’s at a\u00a0nearby bar.\u00a0 It was\u00a0exactly the environment I wanted, a low-key\u00a0sparsely populated Irish\u00a0pub full of friendly regulars and bar staff and surrounded by some of my favorite, funny people.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n *Note:\u00a0 Sorry for the sap.\u00a0 I couldn’t resist sharing.\u00a0 =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Years everyone!\u00a0 May this year be full of love and happiness.
