NYE

This has definitely been an interesting holiday season. I've never had so much time off work - some given and some taken. I took an extra couple of days around Christmas, then promptly got food poisoning and had to take another day. Then we received a 4 day weekend for NYE and President Ford memorial. Since December 21st, I have worked SIX days....hee.

So, for NYE, we had a wonderful dinner with good friends Eric & Hillary, Chris & Jackie and Pete & Katie. Really fun, nice dinner.

Afterwards, Pete and Katie came back with us to the casa de Fowlkes where we rang in the New Year. Sarah was massively delayed on her flight from Chicago, so we sang again at 1:00 when she arrived, which of course we labeled our Central Time Celebration. Later, Lee & Felicia came by to join our gawl dang country bear jamboroo.


Yup, that's my fearless leader drinking some tiny bottles of whiskey Thomas gave us one year - they were very tastey and added to the scramble perfectly. To say that New Year's Day was painful, would be a drastic understatement. Apparently, mere mortals were not intended to drink a whole bottle of champagne on their own. Considering that each of us had one, I can only say that I was not surprised when Pete reported the next day that we were all in the same boat. This definitely goes down as an all-time top New Year's Eve.
