nothing excitin'

With it being the start of a new year,  I wish I had something more interesting to write about, but I don’t.  While we’ve done some fun stuff so far, I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s exciting to anyone else.  Friday night (New Year’s Eve) was a lot of fun.  We had originally planned to eat at Kobe’s with about 11 other people, but we didn’t like the idea of being separated into 2 different tables, so we went to BD’s Mongolian Grill instead.  It worked out perfectly and seated [what turned out to be] all 15 of us.  We hung out at Rick’s after and had a blast playing Just Dance.  It took me quite awhile to muster up the courage to “perform” in front of our friends, but I am so glad I finally did.  We also enjoyed a little Rock Band, and it has been at least 1 ½ to 2 years since I’ve last played that.  Sadly enough, there wasn’t anything terribly magnificent about the ball dropping, and the champagne we had tasted terrible.  It was a fun night, nonetheless.  We didn’t sleep in nearly late enough on Saturday morning, and I’m not really even sure why.  We spent that day doing pretty much nothing.  I went for a walk, John watched the Gators on tv, and it was very low key beyond that.  We went to Mama S’ (my mother-in-law) around 3:30 to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with John’s parents, sister, nieces, nephew-in-law, and great-nephew.  It was great spending time with them, as always.  John’s (I guess I can say “our”) great-nephew, Aiden, is absolutely adorable.  He’s 15 months old, starting to walk, and makes the cutest faces.  I’ll be sure to post some pictures, although I couldn’t catch him making his “why are you looking at me?  I know I’m cute.   Who the heck are you?” face.  We don’t get to see them often, but that will hopefully change when Sam(antha) and Aiden move back from NC in January, followed by Kyle in March. 

I guess our biggest news is that we got Netflix.  See, I told you I don’t have anything terribly exciting to write about.  John is really excited about watching My Cousin, Vinny, and I’m pretty excited about ordering the first seasons of Felicity and Dawson’s Creek.  I know, I know…

There you have it, the first 4 days of 2011 in a nutshell.
