Although this was a fun, albeit crazy, night, I don't think I'll be doing this again any time soon.
I have no idea who many of the guys are in this photo, but the girls, from left to right: Monica, me, Holly, Heather, Charity, Kristyn & Mandy.
anything you say can and will be used for my entertainment...

Flashback Friday: Partying like it was 1999
Since it's the start of a new year and all, I thought I'd post a picture from a past New Year's. To ring in the start of 1999, my friends and I trekked down to Vegas to party it up. With plenty of drunks wandering the Strip, climbing stop lights and wearing the kind of clothing people seem to only feel comfortable wearing in Las Vegas (thank goodness), Sin City did not disappoint.

New Year's 2008
We had a few friends over on New Year's to ring in 2008 in style. Z & I hosted a last-minute shindig where our guests happily participated in our Destroy the Floor theme. Since we're getting new hardwood floors we sent the formerly carpet-covered plywood packing with a nice new paint job.
Thanks to Teri for documenting the evening so well with her photos below.

Overheard: Talking Politics. I think.
Him: So "caucus" can be used as both a noun and a verb, right? Like, "the voters are caucusing tonight."
Her: Yes. Or, as a noun, like, "You have a very large caucus."
Her: Yes. Or, as a noun, like, "You have a very large caucus."

New Year's Resolutions: 2008 Edition
Hopefully everyone had a fun and safe New Year! I thought that I would post my New Year's Resolutions on the internet so that when I fall off the wagon I don't have to toil in my failure all alone.
In no particular order, the top 4 things I hope to accomplish in 2008:
1. Stop procrastinating. I think I've been working on this one since I learned that there is a name for this "condition" that runs rampant among all the women in my family.
2. Walk more. I am always feeling rushed and running late (see my aforementioned problem under #1) so I feel the need to drive everywhere. However, I am fully capable of walking the 2 blocks to Smith's Marketplace, I really am. This year, I am going to try to walk to the store 1 out of every 5 times. Or maybe 1 out of 10. We'll see how things go.
3. Lose 5 pounds of fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle. I am a huge wimp and I am flabby. Do I need to explain more?
4. Cut out processed foods. I think I'm actually already doing well on this one. I've been trying to stay away from anything that's prepackaged or requires just adding water. That old tip about only buying items that are located around the perimeter of the store seems to be true. Farewell, Rice-A-Roni. It's not you, it's me. Actually, it is you. You contain too much sodium and too many chemicals. Tasty, tasty chemicals...

Family Christmas Photos '07
Our very talented photographer friend Janelle at Atelier Photographie took some photos of our little family for Christmas.
She will likely win a Pulitzer Prize for photography since she not only had to deal with photographing two wild animals, but my wild husband as well. We loved the photos, thanks, Janelle!
If you'd like to contact Janelle about taking pics of your family, let me know.
