Ringing in the New Year

I decided to skip the Christmas post because lets be honest, no one really cares what I got for Christmas, but I will simply say that I am so blessed, and a post is still to come regarding the coolest must-share gifts. 

On to New Years!

In an alternate reality, I probably would have been out on the town, in a sparkly black dress, drinking fizzy drinks, and dancing frivolous dances until the clock struck twelve, upon which I would have passionately kissed my man and cheers to the new year.

Not this year.

I did have plans, don't get me wrong, I'm not a (complete) loser...

The day was just so fun filled! It started out with an Eagle Cruise on Lake Coeurd Alene. 

(look at that handsome man who's hand I'm holding, what a stud :)

It was a special cruise for scouts and eagle scouts, and I must admit, this little voyage was right up there with airports and auto shops on the I-feel-like-I'm-at-Walmart O-meter. There was quite the crop of interesting characters. Additionally, for being on a boat with a bunch of scouts, I must confess myself VERY disappointed to see this classy elderly lady having to stand.

Like, Really? None of these perfectly capable young stallions would think to offer up a chair? COME ON!  I didn't have one either, otherwise I would have been all over that like white on rice! 

Yep, I would have offered her my chair while projecting my voice for all to hear. Simultaneously I would have shot some very disappointed and dirty looks in all those scouts directions, for not doing the same. Because I am super polite like that. haha

After the cruise, we ate the most scrumptious of lunches at a chinese buffet. I ate all sorts of colorful sushi's and bright meats, spilled my egg drop soup and blew little jiggly worms (using a straw and a jello cube) at my brother (because let's be honest people, I am an adult.)

 (This is a common interaction between my brother and I... If you look reeeeaaaally closely, you can see my little jello worm coming out of the straw I'm holding!)

I went home, did all sorts of usual productive and awesome activities, painted my nails, and just before leaving for the social light parties, I lost my mind and blew chunks.

Yep. I went crazy, and puked. and puked. and puked.

That kung pow chicken was certainly kunging, and powing the night away. Chinese food:  not my top choice to taste going down and up.

And that was how I rang in the new year.

I went to bed at 9. I am quite the par-tay animal.

I can already tell 2012 is gonna be a good one.
