New Year

It is the new year and I have not blogged for awhile.  Doing lots of stuff but haven't had it in me to blog.

I went to dinner with a friend last Wednesday. He was visiting from out of state.  We worked together for 5 years (98-03) and actually went to HS together before that. (small world)

Thur was the last night of the disco band playing at "my place" every Thursday.  Now they are playing at a casino about 30-45 away and I will probably go about once a month.  I am STILL waiting for my place to put out the January calendar.  It is quite odd that it's not out yet, so not sure what is in store for this Thursday. KJ and I were thinking of going and checking it out.  They used to have 3 different drinks for $3 and now they are supposed to have 21 for $3.  But I could care less abou that! I wanna know about the music!

I was so excited for Friday to finally come because Mo was going to GO OUT! Martha and I went to get a table at 7 because I wanted a table in front (and there's just 2) and when we got there, there were people at 1 and a reserved sign on the other.  I told the hostess that I was hoping to get one of those and she actually moved the reserved sign to another table!!  Mo and Deb came about 8:20 and then the band people started trickling in.  I thought they were supposed to play at 9.  9 came & went.  The bassist came in at 9:15 with all his gear and STARTED TALKING TO PEOPLE AT TABLES.  Okaaay.  They must play at 9:30.  9:30 came and went.  At like 9:45 someone from the place told them they needed to start playing.  They went over and started doing sound check stuff and tuning equipment!! At 10 they started to play and had major feedback that took a few minutes to sort out.  Meanwhile Mo looks like she is ready to fall asleep and ready to bolt at the same time.  I was SO MAD!  I finally got her out and this is the impression she was getting.  Her deal was to stay for one set, which should have been over about 10.  She was a trooper and stayed until after 11.  But I know she won't be coming back out "(   

And I'm very disappointed in Deb!!  She said she would dance around the table and she refused to get out of her seat.  A song came on that everyone said "You can't dance to this song" and Deb said "I can dance to this, this is a great song to dance to" So I tried to get her up.  I was willing to dance to a song I couldn't dance to for her, but noooooo.   I danced with this very cute college kid.  He had these bright red shoes on and he had some MOOOVES.

New Years Eve was perfect.  I really have no desire to go out and be amongst all the drunk & disorderly people on NYE.  Kallyn and I went out to dinner and then watched shows on DVR and the Space Needle count down. Jake had this idea come to him and brought over 2 votive candles for each of us. He had written 2011 on one and 2012 on the other.  He wanted us to light the 2011 and then throw it out. Then in 2012 light the other one to light the way for the new year.  I came up with an even better idea.  I had a couple of the display fireworks.  We lit the candle and then used it to light the firework so that 2012 started off with a BANG!

I had  nice day on the 1st visiting with same out of town friend and someone else I went to HS with but haven't seen since then and his wife.  Went to lunch and watched the game.

Monday I didn't get out of bed until noon!!! and then when I did, I got stuff done!  Nice combo day.

Today at work it was Monday & Tuesday all rolled into one. I'm so excited that tomorrow is Wednesday already!
