Happy New Year +1 day!
This New Year’s eve I went out to dinner with friends at May Restaurant in Wallingford. The service was a bit slow, but otherwise the food and drinks were all pretty good and I really dig the ambiance of the place. It was also just nice being out on New Year’s Eve with friends, without the manic crowds or traffic.
Afterward everyone came back to my place for drinks, games, the countdown, and more games. The countdown was a minor part of the night and the fireworks show was a bit disappointing. In fact, was more enthused over the pop-sparkler things that Bree brought for us to pop at midnight. Also, I finally got to try hot buttered rum for the first time and unlike the fireworks, it lived up to its reputation (its warm, yummy reputation).
Afterward, we played everything from Taboo to Sequence to my new electronic Catch Phrase. We also played probably the best game of Cranium I’ve taken part of in ages (all-star team with Justin and Ly FTW!). Ultimately, we ending up playing poker ’til 4AM (even Ryan!) and it was a really good time.

New Year’s Day was a late 2PM breakfast at Rusty Pelican with Ryan. (I need to remember that their Monte Cristo’s have too much meat in them. And coming from me, those are some heavy words.) Afterward I went dress shopping with Donna in Bellevue Square and visited my Lola and cousin. Although it was gray and wet out, thought the weather fitting for the first day of the year, a sort of “it’s okay to stay in and rest today” instruction.
End of Year Review coming soon. Feliz año nuevo.

OMG Jamie! i just hooked up and installed the internet in my apartment ALL BY MYSELF. I feel like I should be working in some IT firm with you and Ryan.
I’m glad my advice worked out for your par-tay. Oh, and by the way, my tree and you aren’t on speaking terms just yet. I’ll let you know when she’s feeling up to it.
