Another week, another year. Amazing how that works - and how quickly. We felt like we had two weekends this week as we were both off on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. (We definitely could get used to working two days, two days off, working one day, two days off). But alas, it's back to the normal routine this week. Hopefully we remember how to work five consecutive days!
As for New Year's Eve itself, we went low-key this year. Very low-key. As in, we had a nice dinner at home, opened a bottle of wine that we brought home from our trip to Michigan in fall 2007 and watched movies. The wine was delicious!
On Friday night, we met our friends Julia and Tony for dinner and a movie. First, movie tickets are outrageous these days. (Clearly we haven't been to a non-matinee in awhile.) Second, the Benjamin Button was alright, but not worth the cost of seeing in a theatre. So, save this one for Netflix if you were thinking about it!
Yesterday we took down the rest of the Christmas decorations...and now our house looks really empty. In fact, the kitchen looks really empty (spacious?) since the dining room table was in there while we had the tree in the dining room. At any rate, we got everything packed away and about half of the boxes back in the attic. Kim also went shopping to hit some of the sales while Eric was at the gym. Can you believe they're already clearing out all the winter stuff? And we're supposed to have a really cold and snowy February. What are we supposed to do then when all we can find are sundresses and swimsuits?
And today we went house hunting with Kim's dad. We saw a few we really liked...too bad we're not the ones in the market! We can see why Aunt Kay likes to go to open houses to get decorating ideas! This afternoon we ran a few errands to prepare for the party we're hosting next weekend. More details on that later...have to end with a cliffhanger to make sure you come and read next week's blog!
