a New Year...hmmm...

We recouped nicely and our NYE's was lovely and , well, ...adult but not in the XXX way. We went to a small gathering at my friend Weezi's apt, that is just above her store right downtown. There was a few other couples there and we drank a bit, talked , laughed and ate yummy fresh spring rolls and played some games. We peeked out the window at all the mayhem below us of thousands of people passed, drunk, yelling and ...it was fun. I was kinda suprised really as I had never had that kind of night. I have never just hung out with other couples before that were our age. We have always either went clubbing and taking crazy mixes of drugs and the only other friends we had before were usually growers (so when we went there we would trim weed or such) and strippers, tattoo artists, dj's and such. These new friends we would have thought were "boring" before but really they seemed nice, fun and good people. I even roped some of them in to helping me with my volunteer work of providing team sports and after school activities for the poorer kids in my 'hood. (there were two h/s teachers there and a fashion designer so I got them to teach an arts programs that starts in two weeks!!!)

I checked in to chat late that night to see how the party was going in the chatters group meet that I was supposed to attend. I thought that I would feel like I was missing out but weirdly enough, I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love my chat peeps and would love to meet them but really, I think I am over the drunken , debauchery that was taking place. I felt in the end that I had to choose between my family and partying...and I choose my family. I got to kiss my sweetheart at midnight with champagne and come home to wake the kids in the A.M and go tobagganing for the day.

We spent our new years day not hungover on someones couch, or wandering the streets in an E-fueled roll...we instead woke up to me making a huge breakfast of frittatas and fruit salad and got all bundled up to go sledding with the new sleds and then came home and made hot chocolate...it was the sweetest start to this new year...I had said on NYE's that 2007 was the best year I have ever had but now am wondering maybe it can just keep getting better?!!?

I guess we will see. I already have so much, I hate to think of asking for more. I have unconditional love from my man, his respect and that of a community, I have 3 healthy beautiful kids, nice house, my health.....

I will leave you with pics from our day in the snow...I just love Canada!!!!
