Holiday: NYE 2012

NYE with my good peeps! Let's see. Hotel rooms at hotel sorella. There were pre-drinks and pre-snacks. Most expensive and oprah approved tequila ever. Costco croissants. Sweets for some macarons. Dinner at eddie v's. Shafer equals very good merlot. Truffled mac. Great crab two ways. Lump and cake. Big poppa has a cow over his lack of greens in his caprese salad. Guess he didn't know what a caprese salad was! Haha. A waiter brought him a side of greens for his caprese salad. He was kinda buzzing so he was a bit louder than his normal self. Night was cold and rainy. Feet hurt. Hate my hobbit feet. Made it back to monna lisa for the countdown and firworks show. And then it was back to the room for game time! We really didn't have anything planned for the night. I was kinda tired and my feet were hurting. So gilles found some games we could play from her phone and we just went at it all night. Taboo and charades. Girls suck at taboo but we rocked in charades. I wish i would have thot to take photos of everyone in action but i was having too much fun laughing and watching everyone cut up. It's good to find people who enjoy these types of games as much as i do. Dehydrated. Gangnam style. We were so loud at one point that we got a nice warning to lower it down just a bit. Who the hell books a hotel NYE and decides to sleep early? GEEZ. Party poopers. I always have a good time with these peeps. But we could have maybe saved some money did the same thing at someone's house. Haha. I guess it's always nice to do something different. Socks having to wake up early and check out though. Haha. We all had some nice dim sum for brekkie the next morning. The new year was off to a pretty great start.

Trippin': Sydney - Olympic Park

The Sydney Olympic park was one of those places where i wasn't sure if it would be a waste of time going to or not. I keep wondering if there were other things we could have done but honestly, i'm not sure what else sydney had to offer. We could have prolly roamed the city a bit more i suppose. Would i recommend checking the Olympic park out? If you have small children and/or a lot of days booked for Sydney, then yes. For a small fee, people can swim at the aquatic center pool. There's lots of green space and public art pieces to run around and look at. It's definitely the kind of thing that i enjoy doing.

Musik Mundi: Florence + The Machine

Florence + The Machine
Album: Ceremonials (2011)
Song: Shake It Out

I think Shake It Out would be my fave song from Florence + The Machine's most recent album. It's a fun song that makes me want to flip my hair around and around. Ask big poppa. He'll show you what i do. I think that after eight years together, he's been completely desensitized by my shenanigans. I can be doing elaine like dance moves all around the room and his eyes won't even budge from watching the real housewives. We spent our weekend being homebodies. Finally watched skyfall. I really like it. Daniel craig is such a great actor. Thot he was awesome in girl with a dragon tattoo. Also liked javier bardem. That blonde wig was so funny on him. And the directing was really good too. So overall it was worth the drive and rental fee at blockbuster.
