By some miracle, G didn’t have to work on NYE or on January 1st!  I can’t even remember the last time we were together on NYE.  Crazy.  Not only did was G off work, but my incredible-y insane friend, Lea, was also in town!!

If you don’t remember, I used to work with Lea.  She’s changed jobs and moved out of Oregon and won’t forget my address.   Whenever she’s in town, we meet up with another former coworker, Steve.  On NYE, we decided to head out to happy hour with everyone!

We stayed long enough for me to eat 379 cajun tater tots so it was pretty amazing.  After that, Lea, G and I ditched Steve to go to a NYE party.  Steve was totally okay with it because he doesn’t actually like us and only showed up to drink beer.  Perfect!

We arrived at the party fashionably late and got decked out in the finest accessories:

The hosts had a photo/backdrop thing set up so we all took a bunch of pictures in front of it.  Some were good:

And one was the best picture ever:

We spent a good 15-20 minutes laughing about this one.  And every time I look at it, I start laughing.  I promise Lea’s face doesn’t look like this in real life.  And don’t worry, Lea gave me permission to post this picture.  It’s kind of looks like one of those plastic-surgery-gone-wrong photos.  Love it.

After such success with those photos, we attempted to get a photo of the entire group.

Not too bad.  Toya is up in the right corner (she’s wearing a silver mask like mine) and Kennedy isn’t included because she partied too hard and passed out before midnight.  We’re going to have to cut her off early next year.

Now it’s time to follow through on my resolutions to be a nice person, save all our money, lose 50 pounds, travel the world and pay off all our debt.  WISH ME LUCK!!!
