H N Y !
Welcome Welcome 2006. What a year you will be. We rang it in nicely last night – decided to have friends and neighbors over so we wouldn’t have to worry about anyone driving. Liz & Tim and Kristin & Jef came over, and our neighbors Ahrey & Trisha and Brad & Laurelyn came over as well. We grilled chicken and steaks, consumed an interesting amount of alcohol, and played silly parlour games. Um, and some serious drinking games. Liz & Tim stayed the night – or should I say morning, since we turned in around 5am – and at least the 4 of us were not in too bad of shape! I haven’t talked to the neighbors yet. Thanks to all of you for such a great time! Ahrey answering Ben’s phone and pretending to be a Chinese restaurant was hilarious! I have a little bit of video of it, but Special K took some longer ones. Hopefully she will post links on her website, www.karmalized.com.
I’m really looking forward to this year for some reason. I think that my job will have some interesting twists – the builder I work with is making noises about using another mortgage company. Which would totally suck, but be great at that same time. Guess we’ll see what happens. It’s no reflection of me, it’s other cities they are having issues with.
Ben’s band, Nooner, will release a new CD in early February. We’ve got the rough mix, and it sounds great! They hope to tour more this year and really make a big push. I like it and I don’t, of course. I hate it when Ben’s not here, but I am also hopeful for their success. They are such a good band! [ah, special note: Ben informed me Bag 100's cd should be ready to go in March! Very cool!!!]
And this may very well be the best picture from last night! We were playing 3 Man, and someone apparently rolled whatever the combo is (4 and 1? 5 and 1?) where you have to put your thumb on your forehead…
