hello 2014

i am always so amazed at how time just flies. it's as if i blinked, and 2013 was over. gone. bubyyye.

i wonder what 2014 will have in store?

anywho, how did you spend your NYE? were you cozy in bed? asleep before 10:00pm? did you pj it up? or spend a night on the town?

me? my plans must have changed about a bazillion times before anything was really said and done. what i ended up doing was going out for a very nice dinner with my guy. we had a 5 course dinner tasting with wine pairings. sound snooty? it wasn't! i was mildly hesitant, but the restaurant we went to is very modern (but not ultramodern to where it had that cold feel to it). the size of the first couple of courses had me seriously doubting whether or not we'd leave with full bellies. let me tell you though . . . it all catches up to you haha. needless to say, we were not at all inclined to make another stop for food. ;)

after dinner, we carried on our tradition (unspoken tradition that is) of pj's, champagne, and anderson cooper.

the restaurant was lit for the "mood," not for picture taking haha.

& of course dessert!

my introduction to the new year wasn't all too great, to be honest. in an incident unrelated to NYE dinner, i came down with food poisoning. that happened on new year's day. so really, i did a LOT of laying in bed for the first few days of 2014.

not how i would have like to start things off, but hey, life happens

here's to a better week! :)

how's your new year looking so far?
