The End and the Beginning

I know you’ve been wracked with curiosity about what we did for New Year’s Eve.

We went ice skating in the Manhattan Square Park outdoor ice rink while a DJ spun the latest in obnoxious radio tunes the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” (I actually had to look that up) popular with the tween crowd. It was wild.

Then we went to the comedy improv spectacular at the theatre. It was indeed spectacular. And the place to see and be seen on NYE (I’m actually not kidding). You should totally enlarge the flyer, because it’s funny too.

And, of course, we ordered a stuffed crust pizza because we hadn’t already consumed enough pizza in the past seven days. And stuffed crust really is the best thing that could ever happen to a pizza anyway. On the drive home we caught a couple minutes of the 10 pm fireworks display – an added bonus. And then we spent the rest of the night ringing in the new year in our traditional fashion – pajamas, pizza, Wii games, a toast at midnight, and a movie…at home. Party animals.

Our “wild” New Years Eve gave way to a mellow New Years Day.

We slept in and cashed in a coupon to treat ourselves to a long, relaxing lunch of a shared cheese fondu appetizer and meat fondu at The Melting Pot. It was pretty luxurious and delicious. And I bought snow gloves on sale. I feel this is a totally appropriate first purchase for the new year ahead.

Then we went to go see Sue at the museum. She’s a chunker, that one.

And we finished off the day with a showing of Les Mis.

Not a bad end or beginning. Blessed, indeed!

What did you do? I’m curious, so do tell!
