My New Years Eve!

So the day started out with a lot of running.  First it was the grocery store.  I had to prepare Taco Dip and Rotel.  Well there were only two lines open at Food For Less.  What I though would be a quick 30-minute trip turned into 2 hours!  How bout that.  When I finally got the groceries it was on to Famous.  The local liquor store.  To my surprise, my time spent there was not what I anticipated I was in and out.  So two runs down, one to go.  The search for party favors!  Total stores visited: 5!  YES! 5 stores.  Just for a chamagne glasses, noise makers, and poppers.  Who would've thought?  Oh...I bet you're wondering what I did...well I spent the night with the Sassy Wife (author of Sassy Wife Chronicles http://www.sassymahoganywife.com/).  Boy was it a night!  The best view of Chicago:

It was cloudy but I was able to see the fireworks PERFECTLY!  The night started with Tequila shots...and ended with me on the couch at 9:30 am New Years Day asking for some more hot wings!  Everything in between went so fast (WINK) that I don't remember (WINK).  Although I wasn't at the club, wasn't with ALL of my ladies, didn't get that infamous NYE kiss...I had the time of my life!  With my family!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

New Year's Eve 2010 (Pt. 1)

As we all begin to embark on 2011 I have just ONE resolution: I REFUSE TO SIT AT HOME! Each year I say that but this year it is different. I feel that now more than ever it is a time for me to branch out to something TOTALLY different. NYE 2009, spent at a small club in the Deep South--> in which I woke up SICK! NYE 2008, also spent in a club in the Deep South--> lacked the glam that I desire. NYE 2007, a couple parties--> cold, snowy, really just went with the wind. This year has to be EPIC, MEMORABLE and (of course), FABULOUS! There are a couple of things going on in the Windy City (that I know of so far). 1. Comedy Shows. They are the big thing to do on NYE in the Windy City, just one problem: I'm dateless in Chicago. Who wants to attend this even alone? NOT ME! 2. Clubbing. Well, Well, Well..I'm not sure if fist pumping and half nakedness is how I want to ring in 2011. 3. Family Hanging. Love the fam, but I will be hanging with them on Christmas. I want to be young and free on NYE. Well this is the first of MANY NYE posts. I will update you. Please feel free to add suggestions...Enjoy your day!
