Get this party started




We had entirely too much fun on New Year's Eve!! This is proof...as you can see Bryon is holding up what they (he and Chris) polished off during the evening. I can hear Bryon now, protesting that saying "but you drank too" and yes I did, ONE Jack and coke. Chris was supposed to be the designated driver this year but once again...failed :( It's all good...I can be a total dork without alcohol!

We all sat down, getting involved in a great game of 'Springfield' Monopoly. No matter who we play Monopoly with, I am ALWAYS the first one out within the first hour. So, when the first hour flew by and I was still in the game..yea! for me. Lisa was the first one out (sorry!), then Aaron (whom Chris bartered and finagled with so he could stay in the game) was next. Chris barely hung on with a just a few one dollar bills keeping him afloat (see above photo). Soooo, imagine my amount of enthusiasm when Bryon and I were the last two standing! Incredible since I only owned five pieces of property, three of which had houses only. I totally, by Monopoly grace, slid around that board like nobody's business. Then IT happened...my pitiful little dice rolled me right onto Bryon's property with a bazillion hotels on it. I was done for. Bryon let out a yelp and announced that it didn't matter WHAT game I played with him...I would always be the L-O-S-E-R...it's okay though...didn't burst my bubble a bit as when all was said and done, I was ecstatic to have been in the game for nearly SIX hours!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Alright, I'll accept 2nd place but one of these days when he least expects I will win and then watch me dance :)

Happy New Year!!
