the new year...
um. heh. sooo, uh, did anyone else drink a little too much new years eve? get so drunk they forgot which building they lived in, so tried for 20 minutes to get the building next door to theirs (chinese restaurant) open with their apartment key, because.."it just sticks a little. i swear. the key fits, you just have to wiggle it"... really truely unaware that they were at the wrong building... all the while an entire after party was waiting for them at their ACTUAL apartment, for like 20 minutes, wondering where the hell you were? so that now you're stuck with 3 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of vodka, 2 pies, a zillion cookies and more varieties of chips and dip than you know what to do with...but a really clean house, because you spent half the day saturday cleaning getting ready for the 15ish people that were supposed to be coming over?!!!!
hmm? anyone??!?... no? yeah. uhh......... me neither......!
WHEW! what a way to ring in the new year, i tell you what. and that's not the half of it..... i'm quite sure there's a certain someone out there that thinks i'm certifiably insane.. fun, and crazy, in kind of a good way, but also... just a little bit out of my mind. i can't remember the last time i had that kind of a night. too fun. no like... toooooo fun. happy 2006!!
(wow!)
ANYway... ::slouches down, completely mortified::
needless to say, this chick was WAY too hung over to do any actual running as of yet in 2006...however, i did get 4 very, VERY amazing miles in saturday.
just not in the morning as i'd planned.
because, come to find out, i am not brilliant.
i know... shocker, right?!
between waking up HOURS late for the morning run, to not knowing upper 30 degree weather doesnt need running pants, running long-sleeve turtleneck, ear cover-upper head band thing AND a running jacket (yeah. 6 months later and i'm still the newbie) to getting lost, crossing a bridge i didnt even know existed...
i was, quite literally, chaos in motion.
but it was a great last run of the year... and tomorrow, hopefully, will bring me a great FIRST run of the year!!
for now though, sleep. lots and lots of sleep!

(Ha ha! Boiledpnut, ditto!! Didn't freeze my safari either, and why does YOUR VID play automatically, but mine (yeah i changed the setting from true to false) just froze every browser i tried! NOT FAIR!)am i that "Certain someone who thinks you are nuts?" Am I?? Awwww, don't worry, I KNOW you are nuts! The thing is, no matter what is happening, somewhere in the back of your lubricated mind, you just know you were thinking, geeze, this is gonna make a great blog entry! Which it did.Happy New Year.

I think this is going to be a good year. First, she gets out of control, then goes on the record saying, "you just have to wiggle it." Yup, it's going to be a good year.

Let's see. Pizza with family at 5:30 pm. Baby Pol in bed with grandparents babysitting by 7 p.m. Hit movie, which is out by about 10 p.m. Quick shot home, handle Baby Pol squawking at 10:59 (CST), out just in time to watch ball drop, take one sip of wine, and go back to calm baby down.Wife harasses me about being a fuddy duddy, so I stay up until midnight local time, and in bed by 12:02 a.m.I ran just over 13 miles on Saturday, so was tired, and went to the Green Bay Packers season ending win over the Seattle Seahawks. Weeeeee! I'm a party animal.

Ha...I didn't forget where I lived, but I forgot how I got home! I rarely drink, and probably consumed more booze on NYE than the ENTIRE year of 2005!Happy new year...

I don't think I had quite as much as you did... But I sure wish I had! It sounds like an evening that you won't forget anytime soon. Unless you blacked out, of course. ;)
