-New Year's eve: NO WORK! Went on a run. (much needed after a Holiday binge in Utah!) Went into work anyway to finish some unfinished business. Went to the gym for 20 minutes... who knew they closed early? Got all showered and dressed up for an early night out on the town. By early I mean we were dining with old people. We ate at an awesome Mexican restaurant in which we had bought a coupon for at restaurants.com. Good food, great deal. Bought tickets for a stupid movie. We were the only people in the theater under age 50, and the only ones not laughing. I'm sure it was a funny movie... we'll try it again in 25 years. Twenty minutes into the movie, snuck into a different theater room to see Sherlock Holmes... awesome! Went to Albertson's for some Martinelli's and rootbeer floats. It's not as easy to find non-alcoholic bubbly in Cali as it is in Utah...found it in the kid's juice department. Cuddled up with Rootbeer floats in our sweats and flipped through channels until we watched the ball drop. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1... HAPPY NEW YEAR! New Year's kiss, sip of kid's bubbly, off to bed. Asleep by 12:08.
New Year's Day: Sleep in! By sleep in I mean 8 am. Take the dog on a hike in the huge canyon behind our house. Try our Texas' new cool doggie back pack that he got for Christmas. Get all sorts of scratched up trying to find the river. Mission accomplished. Texas braved the running water, a long time goal for Gabe and I. Took a few New Year's pics. Never mind the just woken up look. Made our way home for left over Mexican food. New Year's nap time. Much needed from our "CRAZY" night out.... Hit the mall for some New Year's deals. I of course found many things that I absolutley "NEEDED", while Gabe was there for good support. Came home with a watch that fits, a bracelet with a "G" on it to stand for my one and only, and a cheetah shirt. (the much needed item.) Took back the red boxes we had forgotten about for a week and rented a new one. A dollar, you can't beat it! Then headed off to an ASIA BUFFET. That's right an Asia Buffet! Gabe was determined to get his money's worth so we sat and ate until we couldn't eat any more sushi, any more wontons, egg rolls, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, coco nut shrimp, and everything else Asian you can imagine. Came home with our redbox and cuddled up ice cream.
Jan. 2: The weekend continues: Only today we decided to start with part one of our New Year's Resolution: get organized. We spent the whole day pulling everything out of our closets, hampers, bins, corners, and drawers and organized, organized, organized. We gathered two huge black garbage sacks full of clothes for the D.I. It felt so good to actually know where things are stored in our little apartment. Got ready and made our way into Newport. Went to the beautiful Newport temple, followed by Pizza and Dateline:48 hours, a special on a kidnapping in Mexico. Decided that our plan to drive my little beat up Corolla as far into Mexico as we can until it blows up and ride a bus back to the U.S. is now a NO GO. I prefer not to be kidnapped by the Mexican Cartel. Fell asleep early with Texas at the foot of our bed. Last night he graduated from the crate to the carpet. A big step for our American bull dog puppy.
Jan. 3-Woke up early due to the change in time for church. 9 am. Yawned through all our meetings. Home for nap time, had to catch up from the early wake up call. Left over Pizza, reading and blogging. Hopefully we'll be in bed early.
Tomorrow- Back to reality!
Hope your New Years was Fantastic! We have so much to look forward to in the year 2010! Best wishes for your 2010!
