Happy New Years!


So last night I went out with L and N and Ls neighbors to Loca Luna. I enjoy Local Luna.. they have great music, and tapas are always fun.
But going out on New Years reinforced the fact that I am not a huge fan of going out on New Years Eve. There was a 30 dollar cover and that got me a couple sips of Champagne.. or more then likely bubbly wine. It was pretty crowded.. which was fine. We got a table about 11:30.. .But dude.. it was chilly in there. Loca Luna is much better is the summer.. because it tries to have like a outdoor feeling.. which is fun when it is 80 degrees outside.. but not so much when it is when it is 30 degrees outside. But they have great food. My only gripe of the evening was it took forever to get the bill.. and L's friends had gone to listen to music to and had not left money for the bill.. and for a while I sat there talking with N and L which was great fun. But then they had to go to the bathroom and L offered to leave her credit card, but the I encourgaged her not too. and they came back for the bill..
The one part of the evening that kinda annoyed me was that L's friends never came back.. and I wanted to get up and watch listen to the music and dance.. so when the bill came I got up and went to go find every one.. which probably came off as a bit angery.. but i was annoyed.. it was cold and i was getting bored.. and I was a bit tired because I worked that morning.
All and all, it was fun to go out for New Years for a change, but I am a bit jealous of K who spent the night at home with her dog reading Harry Potter.

Christmas


It is now 6 days before Christmas..And I am about 80 percent done with shopping. And I have a plan for the remaining presents. If all goes according to plan I should be able to finish shopping at lunch on Friday by stopping off at Target and Sports Authority. My back up plan would be to stop at Target on the way home.. and if I am honest with my time, I am going to have to go to Target on the way home. Which is OK because I only need to pick up a gift card, wrapping paper, tape and gift tags. I guess it will depend on how crowded Sports Authority is. I am pretty happy with the presents that I am going to give. They are not too creative, but I think that every one will enjoy and they will use the gifts. The only gift I am concerned about is for JS.. but technically the one gift was supposed to be for her birthday.. I may have to alter the other part of the gift.. But flexiblity is my middle name, so I will work it out.
