New Years' wrap-up

I never did say what I did on New Years' Eve, so I'll write a recap post...

New Years' Eve

The house was pretty quiet for New Years' this year. Dad bought lobsters for him and Mom and ate them for dinner. I had popcorn shrimp from the freezer because I don't like lobster. I ate my shrimp and my salad upstairs whilst watching Buffy.

After I watched a couple episodes of Buffy, I went on my computer. I went into the Ravelry chat and talked to some of my Ravelry friends. We got real silly. It was funny, because only two or three of us were in the same time zone; everyone else was either a few hours behind us or a few hours ahead. I half-watched The Vicar of Dibley on BBC Canada (they were having a marathon), because the Just for Laughs special was just a repeat of last week's episode (what a rip-off!). Mom and Dad watched Inglourious Basterds. Mom said that just before midnight, Smiles growled at the dog food bag because there's a picture of a dog on the bag. Cute.

New Years' Day

The morning was uneventful. We chilled. We ate. We showered. We packed cheese and crackers to take to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

We were the first ones there, because Brent said he'd be late getting in. Grandpa made pigs in a blanket, and they tasted pretty good. I ate five or six of them, haha.

Brent arrived next, with Breanne and Heather, and Patti and her troupe were the last to arrive (typical Patti). They came in two cars, so Patti, Jesse and Becca came in first, and then Kevin and his kids. We were all supposed to fill our plates with Chinese food in a certain order, but people shoved their way in anyway. I hung around in the back, because I didn't want to get shoved around, but I wound up being shoved a little anyway because when I was trying to peel apart the butterflied shrimp, Brent was asking me to move up (jerk...).

There wasn't a lot of variety of food, but that was because Grandpa never heard back from Brent or Patti about what dishes they wanted, so Grandpa only ordered our picks and his picks. The food was awful - so awful that Mom felt queasy yesterday. She felt so nauseous that she stayed home while me and Dad got a bit of groceries, got dog food and catnip, and went to the library. I felt a little weird, too - I only ate little stuff like Christmas cookies for most of the day, and then I had a bowl of turkey soup for dinner (which was really good).

So there you have it. Silliness, bad Chinese take-out, and Buffy.
