New Year's Eve Eve

Had a fun New Year's Eve Eve evening shopping with Kevin. We hit quite a few stores, a hotel bar and finally ended up at Chat 'N' Chew on East 16th Street. Yum! A blast plus we have new New Year's Eve outfits. :)

The Streak is Over

The Falcons basically gave the Saints the game last night with two very unusual turnovers. But homefield advantage will still be ours! I was bummed but Kevin brought chocolate cake home and we all know that cures everything. :)

The sidewalks are cleaned off here now so I can actually go outside.

It's A Wonderful Life

This was definitely a different year and my mama was deeply missed at Christmas in Tennessee. Obviously there was a huge drop-off in the food quality. :) But her spirit really lived on in the people who attended. Everyone was in good spirits, got along, and it was just like she would have wanted it. In the start of a new tradition, I flew back to NYC on Christmas Day to be with Kevin. He greeted me with a wonderfully wrapped present covered in Christmas lights. It was sweet and romantic and amazing. We later took a walk over to see the Rockefeller Tree. He was working at Pieces so that's where I ended up later that night. Damon was able to join us which made it even better.

Today, the day after Christmas, also known as the 1st Day of Christmas, we watched some Engineering Disasters and the entire first season of Archer, which got better and better with each passing episode. We also ordered in Thai for dinner since we're having the first big blizzard of winter today which is still going strong as I type.

Merry Christmas Eve!

I flew down to Tennessee on Thursday afternoon. I brought a few dirty clothes and my laptop and that's it. :) Kevin and I stayed up late watching the Nashville director's commentary. Fun! Donnie picked me up, eventually, and we headed home and had sphaghetti. I went to Wal-mart to pick up a few things later in the evening. It was five minutes of shopping and over an hour of standing in line! Ran into Chris, Blake and Jonathan and they helped me find Teresa's car the parking lot which I seemed to have misplaced.

It's now Christmas Eve morning and family is starting to arrive. We have celebrated Christmas on the 24th for as long as I can remember.

Flying back to NYC tomorrow afternoon. There is snow/ice in the forecast here and hoping that doesn't cause any delay.

No Sleep But Feeling Good

My stove has finally been used! Kevin made chili on Monday afternoon and we had our first helping (first of many to come) then I went to the QI party in Williamsburg solo as Kevin had an errand to run. We met up later and made our way to Sugar Land, which on Monday night means karaoke. On this particular Monday night, it also meant watching for a lunar eclipse. It was an amazingly fun night and the "boyfriend" word was even used. Well, we are living together. :) We came home, ate more chili and watched The Closer. FYI...TV on the sofa while snuggling is made of win! Despite getting only a few hours of sleep and having six meetings today I've had a feeling of euphoria all day long. In a good place and looking forward to it continuing.

I'm leaving Thursday afternoon for Tennessee, but only staying two days this visit. I'm coming back on Christmas Day afternoon.

Still On a Roll

Life has really been awesome since late October. New love, new baby and the Falcons refuse to lose. If I'm dreaming, please do not wake me up. Went to Eileen Fulton's Christmas cabaret on Friday night and saw "Dracula" last night with Anthony. We stopped by Pieces after the show but it was a pretty early night. The roommate situation could not being going better. Yay!
