How was your weekend?
And bonus (because I don't think we've done a recap of this), how was your NYE?

Re: How was your weekend?
Mine was awesomely relaxing.
Friday I had my work's Unholiday Party - I had some food and a few drinks, then went home and had champagne with H.
Saturday H and I slept in, made some lunch, watched a lot of TV and lounged all day. We went to see the Social Network at 11pm with BIL, it was pretty good.
Sunday I slept in obscenely late and did laundry. I didn't even leave the house! It was divine. H worked and then went to a friend's house to watch football.
NYE was fun! We celebrated with a delicious dinner walking distance from the inn we were staying at in Milwaukee, and then rang in the new year with a bar package back at the inn. We were in bed by 1am, I think.

It was our anniversary yesterday so we (mainly myself) relaxed all weekend, not doing much. Watched movies all day Saturday with the hubby and went to dinner Saturday night to celebrate. Yesterday, H had to leave late morning to travel for work so I just bummed around the house and watched more movies. However, I did pop the DVDs in of our wedding and remeninced the wonderful day.
I didn't know what the whole flurry is with the Twilight movies, but I watched the first two yesterday and am hooked. Never thought I would.
NYE was a blast. The party went well and lasted until 4am. Needless to say, were were not all together mindset on Saturday..... but it was worth it.
Friday I woke up super early because of the time change (5 am-ish) and came out on the couch and watched movies for a few hours until H got up to go to work. I did laundry, went to the chiropractor, got my brows done, and then met a friend for lunch. We watched Black Swan together and then I came home and made lasagna for dinner. I crashed around 8 and fell asleep on the couch until H put me to bed lol.
Saturday we got up early again for some reason and then lounged around the house together. Did a little cleaning and some dishes, menu planning and then grocery shopping. I made a pork loin and some veggies for dinner and we watched HIMYM while I worked on some scholarship applications.
Sunday I didn't wake up until 8 but it was the start date for my NY resolutioning so I did an intense workout and then got ready for church. Went to brunch and then rearranged the kitchen a little to make room for Christmas gifts. We took the dogs to the dog park and ran around with them for about an hour and then came home. I made dinner and then worked on more scholarship applications while waiting to hear if I would have school today.
NYE was awesome. I was bummed that they didn't have fireworks at the Eiffel tower because of cloud cover but the crowd was still really cool and the countdown and everything was really high energy. I always hated NYE growing up because I felt lame never having any parties to go to (I lived in the middle of nowhere and my parents aren't partyers). The past 3 NYE's have been awesome though so I'm starting to change my tune about the holiday.
Friday was ok. I got up, went to work and then went out for drinks with one of my GF's.
Saturday got up early, went and worked out then ran some errands, checked on DH's anniversary gift which is at my parents, came home, did laundry and cleaned the apartment. Oh yeah and took care of my sick hubby.
Sunday my DH and I slept in a little, up at 8:30. I showered and was getting ready for my cousin's dual baby shower when I got a call from my BIL who surprised us by coming to town. I had to leave for the baby shower, which my mom, sister and I didn't make because my sister got sick on the way there. Anyway, got home hung out with my DH, BIL, brother and his gf. We watched the football game then had a BBQ that night. Went to sleep super late for me and started today off very sleepy.
NYE was great. DH, some friends and I went to a place in town called The Padre. We danced, had drinks and enjoyed the countdown. Although we didn't last to long at the club after midnight. We were home by 12:15 and stayed up at our apartment until around 2. We did however all get up at 9am on Saturday and my DH made us all breakfast while we watched the Rose Parade.
Friday- I was supposed to have work but my supervisor was not going in b/c of the snow so I had a relaxaing day home. I took down all the Christmas decorations, did laundry and cleaned the house. At night MH and I just watched some movies and relaxed. It was very nice
Saturday - was our anniversary. We stayed overnight at the inn where we stayed after the wedding and had dinner at the reception site. It was a really great celebration of our one year and we would love to make a tradition out of staying at the inn every year. My sister just had a baby so we visited her and him at the hospital also. Sooo cute
Sunday - nothing much, drove home, made dinner and relaxed
NYE- We went out to dinner with my IL's which is our tradition. The food was really good so it was a very nice dinner. Afterwards we went to a house party which was very fun. Unfortunately I was coming down with a cold so I was not feeling that well but it was still a fun night.
Friday: I had an early dismissal, so I came home and cooked! I hade homemade sauce, and a dark chocolate double layer cake with chocolate and raspberry filling, and fresh raspberry whipped cream frosting. Then, we trudged through the snow with our awesome AWD to a friends house where our dog's played out in the snow, and we ate cake haha.
Satruday: DH had to go and shovel for work, and I relaxed at home. Worked out on the stationary bike, and then we went to dinner and a movie. we saw Black Swan, which was just weird. usually I really like weird movies, but I still don't have an opinion on it yet.
Sunday: Laundry and dinner at my parents.
NYE was ok. SIL sometimes acts like a nut, and we were driving back from vacation. we had originally planned to stay somewhere with a pool and hot tub, but she made a huge stink about getting somwhere closer to home. then, we had to drive around back and forth to find champagne. We tried a liquor store, only to find that they only had liquor...then to a convenience store to find that they only had beer. finally, we found a food lion.
we drove literally 30 minutes to find another hotel with a pool and hot tub (which we didnt use) at 1030...sat in the room, watched the ball drop, and passed out. we woke up the nextt day at 7 to get on the rooad.
