How was your weekend/New Year's?
Blech, Monday. It's hard to be back at work after having *10* days off!! 
Thurs/New Year's Eve; lazed around until we heard from a friend and his gf who was in town on her grad school break, so we had lunch with them. Then headed back to our friend's apartment and opened a bottle of wine and kept hanging out. Back at home, DH and i took naps, got ready and then headed to Queens to our friend's NYE party. It was fun! Not very many people showed up, but we ate, played games and hung out. Then we spent the night with a couple/friend's of ours that live 3 stops away from the party!
Fri/New Year's Day; literally, hung out in our pjs all day with our friends watching dvds! It was so nice!
Sat; i slowly started cleaning the apartment. Went to see Sherlock Holmes with the same friends, then out for a bit afterwards. At home we finished up season one of Veronica Mars; i am HOOKED!!
Sun; DH was in a mood cuz he was trying to work on the rehearsal schedule for his theatre company's upcoming show and it seemed like nothing was working out. So i steered clear and continued to clean. He finally got the mood out of his system and felt better. I made beef stroganoff in my crock pot and we watched some episodes from Flight of the Conchords season 2.
Re: How was your weekend/New Year's?
we had a very chill new year's eve/day and weekend, which is exactly what we needed!
new year's eve: early dinner at artisanal. as always, it was delish! watched harry potter 6 (christmas gift to us from my mom) and toasted on our couch.
new year's day: slept in, i made coffee cake for breakfast, we watched the tournament of roses parade, the winter classic (as a new england sports fan, i loved that it was at fenway!), and football. stayed in our pjs and had baked mac & cheese for dinner.
saturday: brunch at telephone bar, walked around the city, did our grocery shopping, etc... watched i love you man ( i'd totally forgotten how funny it was)
sunday was another pajamas & football day. i worked on my resume for awhile, made nigella's chicken & ribs and pioneer woman's crash hot potatoes (these are quite possibly some of the best potatoes ever)
hope you girls all had a great weekend!
My weekend was good.
Thursday: sis and I did some touristy stuff around Manhattan, then went to church. After church we had some drinks and danced for a while.
Friday: slept in then woke up primed some closets and stuff while DH did some electrical work in the house. Sis and I went to watch Avatar...it was awesome. I have a crush on the avatar of Jack Sully.
Sat: chores, then some shopping with my sis then she went to meet some old friends while DH and I stayed in and chilled.
Sunday: slept in again, then primed some more, cleaned the basement (my poor sister she really helped a lot), then she made a recipe for us to enjoy, then we just hung out.
I enjoyed my low-profile weekend!

cheeky: I'm totally making those potatoes - they look so incredibly yummy!
NYE: we hung out at home. made dinner (really good chicken parm & salad), relaxed and then watched the grand army plaza fireworks from our roof. Some of our neighbors were on the roof as well and we ended up hanging out with them for a little. Lots of fun!
Friday: went over to our friends for a late brunch, then back home for a super lazy day of really doing nothing!
Saturday: met up with two high school friends for brunch - I hadn't seen them in years so it was great to catch up! Then back to brooklyn for my prenatal yoga class. I'm always a little bit sore afterwards and since it was so bitter cold I took a lovely hot bath/soak in the evening. dinner and movies with DH again.
Sunday: met up with a friend to do some "combined errand/shopping". It was great to have someone along while we went to a bunch or random stores, I felt very productive! Then back home for doing nothing again....lol. Dinner and relaxing with DH.
It was seriously a great weekend, I feel very relaxed, but was definitely not ready for the alarm to go off this morning! Must be the cold weather making me extra sleepy!
We had an absolutely crazy New year's this year. On Thursday, we went to my ILs' house in SI to ring in 2010 with my parents and my grandma (they're all good friends from waaay back when, lol)
On Friday morning, MIL (thankfully) got up with Sasha so we got to sleep in, since we went to bed at 3am. Then we headed back to Brooklyn to my parents' house, where more family came over to celebrate/exchange gifts.
On Saturday, DH and I went to Bob's to pick out a new couch, because our old one broke and we had credit with them. Came back to Brooklyn and hung out with my parents and the ILs again.
Phew, what a crazy weekend!Bubblegum Explosion
