Day 167 - 169: A 2011 Preparation Haze

Sluggish and tired. Starting back the week, in the middle of the week on no sleep and after 5 days of being away and overindulging. Miss family, miss Mr. O, miss Christmas, and now fretting over how to ring in 2011. Go out? Stay in? Spend money? Save money? What does he want to do? What do I want to do? What about the girls, are we giving up all trying to do it up altogether? Why am I worrying so much? So much emphasis placed on one night...why the need to make it so shiny? In the end, I know I want to spend the evening, the big moment with one person. So, I'm thinking sweats (cute sweats!), snacky, finger foods (hey, it's the last night to splurge!), some wine, some champagne, some goofball dancing in the living room, maybe a funny movie and a cheeseball countdown to 2011 while we watch a big, lit up ball slide slowly down a pole (how that became a tradition, I'll never know.) Does a little part of me want to get dressed up and hit a dance floor with my special someone? Do a little flirting and swaying, feel his arm around me on a night that's supposed to feel all magic-ky? Sure, a little part. But, I'm totally down for doing it at home...in the end, I just want to be snuggled up with him when the clock strikes midnight. And, this way, I get to do it all in purple fuzzy slippers and keep those blister-giving heels in the box. :) Welcome 2011, I'm psyched to ring you in!
