Happy New Year babies! This is the year the world is supposed to end (again) so let's make the most of it, shall we?

I am actually impressed I am up already. It's about 10:40 and that's not bad given that I didn't go to bed until 6am. I'm not hungover, there isn't a crowd of people in my house, and I have already had sex in 2012. Not a bad way to start the new year.

There' glitter everywhere though. And confetti...

Which does drive me nuts seeing as I spent most of yesterday cleaning the crap out of my house. I mean top to bottom, rearranging things, throwing things away, scrubbing, bleaching, the whole nine yards. That was pretty much the first part of the day until about 12:30. I took the kid over to the mall so she could pick up her schedule around then and TGF came over about 1 something. She decided to take the train because she didn't want to drive or deal with a car on New Year's Eve at all.

We hung out around the house from then on until it was time for the show. One of our friends carpooled with us and we headed into the city around 9.

The show was FANTASTIC. A couple little minor glitches technically, but all in all a great show for the tech crew. We allowed alcohol into the theater (the only show of the year we do) but there were no issues from the audience and only a couple of performers were a little too happy and made some mistakes. One poor performer fell down but not because of booze. He slipped on a small step and went right down on his back.

There was one fun moment -- something was happening backstage and I was told later that my director yelled 'where's XX is he doing his job or hanging with his girlfriend??'. Hey! She recognized TGF as my girlfriend! Score!!

Speaking of that, yes we started kissing at 11:59 all the way through to 12:00. Ended the year with a kiss and started the new one with a kiss. Cheesy. Yep. That's me.

After the show the traffic was still pretty heavy and our normal restaurant was packed. We had 20 of us all wanting to eat and they couldn't seat us. We ended up at a different place and they handled a group of 20 with pretty good aplomb. We were all impressed. I was impressed that at the end of the night when the bill came, we were able to quickly get it sorted out, everyone paid their right amount and we had enough for a tip. No one got screwed or had to fork over any extra. Score. The kid was grumpy and cranky at this point since it was nearing 5am. She had been grumpy most of the night since KBF wasn't there, but I wasn't going to respond to it. She needs to stop with the sulky moodiness sometimes when we are out. One thing she hasn't mastered yet is the art of faking. Sometimes you have to just smile and brood later in private.

Got home a little after five and me and TGF were still too wired from the night. We decided to start the new year off right. Fell asleep somewhere after six and here we are.

So far so good 2012. Keep it up!
