Here's to the Newest of All the Years!

So, it's 2011 now. I rang it in at a very low-key party that had a disturbing lack of women, but it was alright hangin' with the boys. Here in Chicago, it was 50 degrees yesterday, which I don't ever recall experiencing on New Years. Today, the weather is giving us back our traditional 20 degree January weather, even though no one asked for it.

Some people have made "Top 10 Albums of 2010" lists. I realized that out of all the albums I bought this last year, only two were actually published in 2010, so here's my "Top 2 Albums of 2010."
‎1. 99 Songs of the Revolution, Vol. 1- Streetlight Manifesto.
2. You by Me, Vol. 1- Dan Potthast and Toh Kay split EP

I think I'm going to give up drinking pop (soda or coke for you weird people) this year. We'll see what happens.

I also thought about not drinking any alcohol anymore. Not because I have a problem with it, but more because I know I won't be missing anything.

So that was my stream of consciousness on the new year. What's yours?

cherub and I spent it a friends house, playing Dominion, reminiscing about past gaming exploits. This past year has not been one of the best, with my niece diagnosed with Hodgkins, and then relapsing just before Xmas, cherub's continued unemployment and chronic shortage of money.

This year HAS to get better. Please....

I spent it in one of the busiest nights at work I've seen. I think the snow kept people in over the Christmas period and when it melted they all decided to go insane.

I got my car fixed yesterday and spent today cooped up inside by myself. I was supposed to have a game day w/ friends, but illness (theirs, not mine) canceled it. After all the running around and traveling I did over Christmas, it was a bit of a welcome reprieve.

wait gnurd drinks booze?

Fed someone dinner and played with the Wii for a bit, then headed over to our cousin's house. The kids all played Littlest Pet Shop Monopoly (I kid you not, there IS such a thing ) while us grown ups were much more mature and watched Pinky and the Brain.

The first thing I did in 2011 was kiss my husband, so I think I started the year off on the right foot.

I am trying to take better care of myself this year, be more positive, be more conscientious, and spend more time with my family (ie, off the computer)

Remembered my vitamins and supplements 2 days in a row, that's a good start right?

I'm 24. I'm allowed to. I have never been drunk, though.

I keep thinking you're still a teenager, lol. I feel old...

Bar and I did the crazy thing and hosted an after party for new years which was pretty much a 12am - 11:30 pm party which actually went from 6pm-11:30pm the next day. I got about maybe 2 hours of sleep between the 31st and passing out at about midnight on the 1-2nd.
Bar cooked breakfast and we were having a castle marathon. It was fun but I don't think I want to do it again.
