good times

New Year's Eve/Day was satisfying.  I worked at Fountain House until 10pm which was a little boring, but worthwhile, as it allowed the members to party it up with food, drink and a live dj for only $2, and for the majority who are on a fixed income, it is there only option to go out.   Afterwards I walked next door to a scrumptious homemade dinner of black rice, mussels and shrimp.  Thanks Jamie!  We opened gifts and then literally ran down Ninth Avenue to 45th Street, where I sweet talked a cop into letting us head toward Times Square for the ball drop.  We got to Tim's apt. in the nick of time and celebrated with hugs, kisses and lots of the bubbly stuff.

Jamie, Chris and I left the party together to navigate the streets toward the web, where we somehow got separated along the way, but ended up at the same place at the same time...Just in time for the horrible 2am drag show.  Luckily we were greeted by Sean, Sue and Erin and proceeded to literally get drunk and dance.  Hey, where was the complimentary buffet?

Chris and I headed back to my place to find Charles fast asleep in my bed so the three of us crammed together and passed out.

New Year's Day went something like this...grumble, laugh, grumble, 2 hours of family guy (laugh), a delicious brunch, laugh, nap, grumble, laugh, dinner, card game, bed.  Like I said in the header, good times.  

I am so excited for the new year.  I am extra positive because for the first time in my life, I really feel I have got a handle on what's important for me.  I intend on making my actions count toward the areas of health, wealth, creativity and relationships.  Whatever the outcomes are for the year, as long as I can stay focused and put forth energy toward these areas, I will be a joyful being.
