New Year's Eve

L was in town for New Year's Eve. And even though I totally failed to throw a dinner party in her honor New Year's Day, she graciously accompanied us to AWR's house for an Eve party with old people and little kids.

She also played with Squirms and let me go for a small jog, and made this:

I should mention I am still craving this. It has imprinted on my brain, or tongue, and I don't even find oreos worth snacking on because all I can think about is this red velvet cheese ball. Obviously I can never make it again. But maybe for Valentine's Day.....

Still awake at midnight!

This one didn't make it to midnight. And was ANGRY when we woke her to leave.

The ladies. Watching the LSU game.

I also read a post by the Pioneer Woman in which she gave resolutions for each letter of the word Resolution. I thought that would be fun to try.
R - Read more.
E - Eat more raw fruits and vegetables.
S - Stop drinking coffee, diet coke, and mate tea after 3:30 PM.
O - Only drink milk with breakfast, after a run, and with cookies or cake or pie or bread pudding.
L - Lecture the dogs on how beautiful they are while giving them hugs before bed.
U - Use eye cream before bed.
T - Take time to sit in the front yard and let Squirms crawl around in the grass. Even if it is St. Augustine grass.

O - Orchid in the kitchen. Don't kill it.
N - Never make the red velvet cheese ball.
