Happy 2006 Everyone!
Katie had to work New Year's Eve until 11pm so we had a late dinner. I made a cheese soufflé with bay shrimp, a creamy onion-parmegian-cheese soup with mushrooms and parsely, and peas. There was also champagne involved as we ate dinner until midnight and watched the ball drop on TV. They said on the tube that something like 85% of the people at Times Sq. are from out of town. I believe it; no way am I going to wait 9 hours in the freezing cold to watch a ball drop for 1 minute in the middle of the night.
Katie and I also wait until New Year's to "open" our "Christmas" stockings (long story). I got some Hickory Farms sausage and cheese (mmmmmm......sausage...drool drool), some chocolate, new ear buds since my old headphones broke, a very small bottle of wine (more of a vial really), and various other things. Katie got some stickers, a very small bottle of Champagne, some arts/crafts stuff for her card-making hobby, the new Paul McCartney CD, a cinnamon candle in a red glass holder that looks like a Christmas ornament, and some other stuff. Fun times!
Also, Ben and Jara came over this morning and took their birds (Cleo and Alfie) back home. We will miss those little squawkers....although not really. (Note to Ben and Jara: we will be happy to watch them again at some point in the future, probably NOT next week.)
My huge huge huge exam is in exactly 2 weeks. I am studying like a crazy man who loves to study. Wish me luck. It is unfortunate that this exam coincides with the NFL playoffs. I guess I'll just have to read box scores in the paper and enjoy watching the Superbowl in Feb. (go Seahawks!).
That is all for now.
