Wow...it's hard to believe that 2008 is already done and over with, and we have what many consider a 'fresh start' in 2009. To be honest, I've never been a big New Years celebrator, nor am I one that makes serious New Years resolutions. Though that could highly be due to the fact that I never keep them...yep, pretty sure that's what it is.
So how did I ring in the New Year you ask? Ok, you didn't ask, and maybe you don't care, but I'll tell you anyway. With my job, we work every New Years so there is not really a point to make huge plans to celebrate outside of work, because I'm usually exhausted by the time I get home!
I got to hand out Mardi Gras beads all night to our Guests, and we sure had some characters..I really did have a great time! I could have done without the guy asking if he needed to unzip his pants to get beads, or the creepy father-son team asking for kisses along with the beads...but it could have been worse. I could have received the "boop" that my coworker Randy got...so I am not complaining at all! It's kinda amazing to see the excitment and buzz within GCML waiting for the midnight countdown, the mad dash to get New Years party favors, and aww inducing kissy face afterwards :) I think it was a success, (except that the confettit throwers I was trying to use on the dancefloor at midnight weren't working and I looked like a complete ass standing out there flinging a cardboard tube with nothing coming out) and that is something everyone can be happy about!
And now Erik and I have been celebrating the first day of 2009 by snuggling on the couch, napping and playing with the dogs. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
