New Year...New You

This is the marketing genius (crap) I come up with yearly to promote a new service or product in the practice I manage. The New Year does bring out that inner part of us that just wants to fix all the crap we hate. It could be how messy your pantry is, your lack of abdominal muscles or your giant credit card bill that never seems to move down.

Kent and I went out on NY's eve and had a really low key night. We started with appetizers and wine at our home. We headed up to Capitol Hill and had one quick drink and then saw the movie Slumdog Millionaire. It was a harsh yet fabulous movie. After the film we went to our local Irish bar and had a few drinks and good conversation. It was filled with optimism and good goals that are totally obtainable. We laughed about some funny things that had happened and of course I was teary eyed thinking of our wedding and what was in store for us in 2009.
After midnight we stopped off at QFC and bought Nyquil. I love Nyquil, it is the only thing that lets me sleep in. In fact, we didn't wake up until 11:00am the next day. Glorious sleep, something that is quite hard for me to come by.

New Year's Day was spent being lazy and waking out of our Nyquil coma, shopping a bit and then having a yummy Japanese meal cooked by our friend Chris's mom Sumiko. She made Sukiyaki, it is a fabulous noodle soup with meat and veggies. We then played catch phrase, I cuddled with all of their dogs and we went home. So far 2009 has been filled with fabulous people, sleep and fun. Yes, I am only in the 2nd day of the year, but that still is a good sign. Plus I have enjoyed the optimism people have been expressing. I've had more people wish me a good NY than I did wish me a happy holiday. Thank goodness there is more spirit in the air then there was two weeks ago. My TGIF to start out 2009 is optimism and a belief in change.
