2007 was rung in with me in pajamas, sitting in my living room with my mikel and my folks, and though this is a very enjoyable way to spend one's time, 2008's festivities kicked 2007's ass.
We were invited by a one, Andrew Christenson and a one, Nolan Pannek to rock in the new year atop a Chicago condominium. I traded in my pajamas for my Christmas dress and a pair of heels. Mike wore his "Turtle Racing Champion" shirt under a nice striped pullover (no it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing). The night's activities included beer pong, delicious appetizers, drinks galore and (drum roll) Karaoke! Needless to say, I'm a bit hoarse today. Unfortunately, there was no Neil Diamond featured, yet it was still a fantastic time. The promised fireworks to be viewed from the rooftop at the new year were diminished due to snowfall. However, the snow was beautiful and added an extra something to the night, and the skyline was still beautiful sans fireworks.
Post party was spent at a hole in the wall dinner a block west of Andy and Nolan's where the specialty is a "slinger." One receives a certificate for completing this beast of a meal. Mike attempted and left with no certificate in hand. It is comprised of a large mound of hash browns, covered with two sausage patties, two eggs, sunny side up and coated in chili. yum. Fun at the diner increased when two chicks and a dude entered in their skivvies to give the cooks a beer and scamper out.
The night came to a close with a slumber party in the living room with a huge great dane named Ernie, the pup of Annie and Tyler ________ who also attended school in GF. He was nothing short of awesome.
New Years Day was spent in the perfect way, Mike and I watching football and chowing down on 40 cent wings from BWWs. The weekend was a huge success right up until my adoring husband said to me, "you know, before we were married, I never knew where the term "bitch slap" came from." It's gonna be a happy 2008 at the Headrick household.
Laughter and Love to you and yours in the New Year...
Cheers!
