Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all!!! This New Year's was so much fun! I have never really been one to get into celebrating the New Year (don't get me wrong, I like to stay up past midnight and have some snacks and perhaps play a game or two but nothing too crazy) and this year was no different. I didn't even care to start thinking about what I was going to do for New Year's until the day before. All I wanted to do was get together with a small group of friends, play games and eat good food, just kind of relax. Well...somehow my wanting to have a quiet evening at home (or at one of my neighbor's houses, just as long as I could wear sweats and didn't have to plan anything) turned into me being in charge of a big New Year's party to be held at my house (I didn't even know half the people who came). Don't get me wrong, it was way fun but my New Year's eve was EXHAUSTING! Here is how my day went:

6:00 a.m. - Arrived at work
12:40 p.m. - Back home
12:45 p.m. - Start making my guacamole
1:30 p.m. - Guacamole done, start cleaning house (and I cleaned EVERYTHING)
4:45 p.m. - Went to Macey's with Danny because I was too tired to drive myself
5:30 p.m. - Start making seven layer dip (it's not New Year's without it)
6:45 p.m. - Finally shower and get dressed for the day
7:45 p.m. - First guests arrive (I'll admit I was perturbed because they were early and I wasn't ready but then I opened the door and to my surprise...it was Tiffany!)
8:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m. - Perhaps the least intense game of NERTS I've ever played as well as some other games
12:00 a.m. - NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION
1:20 a.m. - Someone decided we needed to watch a movie
3:30 a.m. - Last guest leaves and I can go to bed after being up for 22 hours straight

All in all it was a wonderful New Year's and I would do it again...as long as I have time to sleep the next day.
