Happy New Year’s 2013!

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to my New Year’s kiss, Shrek. If you tapped on the glass and puckered your lips, he swam over to you and made kissy faces. We’re going to try for a long-distance romance, I think.

We went to a waterfront restaurant called The Galleon for dinner.

OMG, vegetables. I haven’t had many of them this week…

I had salmon over lentils and Brussels for my entree.

And plenty of champagne, of course!

And hats and noisemakers.

It was actually a fairly low-key New Year’s. We stayed at the restaurant until after midnight and then came back to the house to hang out until the wee hours of the morning chatting and drinking more champagne by the pool.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! What’d you do for NYE? Are you team NYE or team get-me-the-hell-away? I’m not usually super-crazy about NYE amateur hour, so I have loved this idea of being away for NYE and doing something low-key.

Also…2013? When did that happen? Will my flying car be waiting for me at JFK tomorrow?

Christmas Eve 2012

Merry Christmas! My Christmas actually started a few days ago when I got this unexpected gift from Lady Foot Locker when I got home from work. Um, THANKS GUYS!

These pants are really comfortable…and nobody tell my favorite client about that sweatshirt, okay?

Last night we headed to my cousin’s for Christmas Eve.

You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa!

Christmas is really tiring.

So many gifts, so little time.

Last Christmas, she was just a baby, so watching her open all her gifts this year was really cute. Of course, as soon as she ripped into the first toy, she didn’t care about anything else.

The adults had food buffet-style, including pierogies (Italian/Polish Christmas here!)

Penne with vodka, and eggplant.

SANTA! I KNOW HIM!

For Christmas-celebraters: what are your Christmas Eve traditions? Ours includes spending it with my mom’s side of the family…and always includes pasta.
