Much to everyone's disappointment,
Brent and I did NOT go to Times Square for New Year's Eve. There was NO WAY I was about to stand in the middle of a huge mass of people just so I could stare at other people's torsos. Plus, we had some friends who went running that morning and noticed when they passed Times Square that there were tons of people already waiting at 10am! It can't be worth it, especially if you are the only two people there who are sober.
We went to a party down in the financial district instead.
It was a lot of fun. There was great food, the Times Square party was playing on the television, and we played hilarious versions of PICTIONARY (e.g. one round we had to draw verbs... one verb used was arbitrage). Just before midnight, we donned our party hats, and neckware, and held our champagne glasses full of peach flavored sparkling cider.
After the New Year bell rang, and we kissed our respective spouses, about 15 minutes were spent by various party goers finding new tones and pitches with their party whistles. It was so fun! I think we found tones that were previously undescovered by man.
When Brent and I got home, we were restless and so we watched a movie. It was a good thing we didn't have any commitments on New Year's Day because we awoke to an aging morning.
We celebrated New Year's Day by going to breakfast (around noon) at The Pink Teacup. We feasted on soul food items such as eggs, thick bacon, biscuts, grits, pancakes, and fried chicken. (Don't say gross until you've tried it!)
The rest of the day we walked around the city while we shopped and window shopped.
It was a relaxing way to start the New Year.
