This post is for Julie, so she’ll stop bitching.
So last night was our big night out for new year’s weekend. We went out with our good friends, Elizabeth and Micheal, and then another couple they knew (we knew the girl, but this was my first time meeting her fiance’) We met at a Japanese steakhouse and had yummy fried rice and appletinis (ok, that was just me) and various meats and veggies and got the usual show involving flames and fancy knifework.
Then back to E and M’s house for more drinking and games. We played Cranium TURBO edition, which is just like regular cranium, except instead of a boring old hourglass timer and dice, there’s a cool “simon says”-esque gadget that does all the work for you. Also, new fun tasks added. like team spelling a word backwards. which is very hard. And a ‘puppet’ game, where one team member has to move another team member in a puppet like fashion to make them guess the clue. Most difficult one: sauna. Seriously, how do you make someone mime a sauna? You just sit and…steam. We actually won that one, though. Kev and I ended up winning the whole game, which is amazing considering he’s a lousy guesser, and I was quite tipsy. We had picked up a bottle of my new favorite drink: Amarula. mmmmmm….I had three glasses of it.
Much laughter and hilarity ensued. It was good to see our friends again - we hadn’t seen them since the wedding. They have two kids, so scheduling get-togethers is difficult. And I miss hanging out with friends - everyone has moved away or gone and spawned some youngin’s. So we don’t get to go out with friends much. And I miss that.
As for tonight, we’re keeping it low key. We’ll probably go out somewhere casual for dinner (last night’s bill for the two of us: a little over $50. whoops!) and then come back and toast the new year with some champagne.
And Amarula. Mmmmm….
I shall be Sitting On A Sofa, Watching The Ball Drop. I am in charge of Tonight, so we shall dine on A Varitey Of Trader Joe’s Mini Appetizers and Champange. And Scotch. And maybe we will watch A Movie.
Happy New Year, ESC! I am glad I was Introduced To Your Blog in 2006!

So what about the butt sex?
Can’t think of anything but smartass answers to Egon’s question, so am backing away from the buttsecks slowly
Woohoo! Happy New Years!
New Super Mario Bros. is by far one of the coolest games ever! Mini Mario is my favorite way to be. What Sonic game are you playing? I would recommend Mario Kart DS but don’t know if you would like it.
Hehehehe, it did look like Kev got a bright red man thong. Gorgeous cookies too!
What’s Amarula? I assume a liquor but what flava? Cranium TURBO kicks ass! J and I do really well on teams because we share a subliminal bond. Taboo also. Gives you a good reason to work on your spelling backwards skillz!
Happy New year from me!! Its already 2007 here already! We just went to friends…I drank lots of water,ate chocolate and watched loads of tv! Exciting eh?
Wow, that sounds a fun group you went out with. I bet another really hard puppet one was “lawnmower” or “weedwhacker”
