Yesterday can’t count toward the New Year, because everyone’s
still celebrating. Also, because I ate terrible – I had a healthy egg scramble
but with a ton of cheese, fast food for lunch, and dinner at Chuy’s (amazing,
but not remotely healthy even if it was a salad … and sangria).
We had a quiet night in for NYE: grilled steaks and wine
for dinner, prosecco and board games, jazz music and that amazing Aggies/Duke
game on tv. Henry passed out at 9:15pm (naturally after insisting he wasn’t
tired) but Spencer made it to midnight. I wanted very much to have him pass out
at 11pm at least so I could go to bed, but no dice.
New Year’s Day I was in a rotten mood but we hit up on
sale and I got pj pants, a bunch of unders and two $11 maxi skirts. The sale
put me in a worse mood because of all those wacky cranky bargain hunters. It
was very much like you see on tv actually – women dashing to be the first
person to the aisle, no room for actual movement. We then moved on to Epcot
which was finally not raining but was awfully dreary and still super busy. We
did some things that we never get around to doing and finally forced Spencer to
watch Captain EO (he was impressed once he actually sat down for it; he’s been scared
to go since we got our passes). We ran into my aunt and uncle (small world,
right?) and had dinner at Chuy’s (seriously, that stuff is amazing).
We ran out of Henry’s allergy medicine and decided to
skip it – a decision we’ll be regretting until 2015. He was up most of the
night, and at 3am C took him to the store to pick up said medicine and drive
him around until he fell asleep. We were all so tired this morning that I
turned off my alarm and was an hour late to work, and when I left Spencer was
JUST getting up and C and Henry were still asleep. Thankfully none of my New
Year’s resolutions involved being on time to work, but I did manage to brew
myself a cup of tea and made an egg white scramble for breakfast, all to take
with me. Today’s scramble had a maple turkey sausage link, collard greens,
black eye peas, onions and just a sprinkling of cheese and 1/4 avocado on top.
I did forget to take the stairs at work, but it’s early –
maybe I’ll take the stairs just to get away for a minute.
So anyhow – 2014: A mixed bag so far, but still with
promise. I hope yours is fabulous!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't know how you do Disney so much. Most of the time, the grocery store is too much effort for me.
Your NYE sounds delightful! Mmmmm prosecco
That pic of Henry DELIGHTS me. It is legit priceless. Put that in his senior yearbook. SHow it at his wedding. SO GOOD.
