New Year's Eve

Since we're going to a party tonight, we decided to take it easy today. We're going out to lunch with Nana, Vikki (her HHA), & Rusty later this afternoon. We haven't eaten at any chain restaurants since we got here, but we went to the Macaroni Grille because Nana really likes it there. It's also close to her house, so if she had any distress, we could bring her home right away. Lunch was really good & to add to the ambiance we were seated right next to the fireplace.

Once we got back to the house, Joe took a nap & I just read a book. It was nice to have the down time today, especially since we've been fairly non-stop since getting here.

The party was at Julia's beach front home in Hermosa Beach. I absolutely love her house, the views from it are amazing. For those of you who don't know, she is the girlfriend of my cousin Bogie. We had a great time!

We had intended for Joe to be the one to drink last night, but when I was offered a drink known as "the flirt" (a type of martini) I was the one to be drinking. Many of those & a few champagnes later...the night is fuzzy for me, but oh so fun! I haven't been drinking like that since the day of our wedding! *giggles* Of course, Joe was manly & drank a few beers. He hustled some pool with a drunken partner, Jeff. Jeff decided that we have to come back next year so that Joe can help him win more money. Oh, Jeff also kept refilling my drinks so that Joe would stay to play more pool games.

Well it's off to Disneyland now...
