Well, like the title said, this past new years eve was the first i've had off from my overnight job in 3 years. I was so excited to be able to finally do something! I thought, I'll get drunk off my ass and be crazy...but nope. Apparently I'm just getting too old for that crap lol.

The day started with errands...lots n lots of errands. I HAD to get my nails done because I still had sparkley green nail polish on from Christmas and it was chipping. Charles had graciously offered to be my ride for the day, so he dropped me off at the nail place and went on his way. What I didn't know was I'd be waiting there for an hour. He came back at least twice, the second time he said he was going to get food. So, when
I finally finished and he returned for the third time I had food waiting for me in the car ^^. Btw, got a navy blue gel color on this time, so much more me.

Next up, we went to Nutz so I could get him the last part of his christmas present. A survival knife which he picked out himself. Everytime I go to this shop all I want is a puzzle box....I need to find one.

We went to the mall after that bc I had to pay a bill, and he wanted to go to best buy bc he had heard a rumor that Best buy was selling nerf guns...lol. He didn't have any success in that dept.

Finally I went to the Chiropractor bc for a grand total of 5 days I had had severe neck pain. Pinched nerve kinda pain....sucked!! Like couldn't turn my neck, pain traveled down my shoulder and arm, and it made it super hard to sleep. As per usual I sat in that chair and the 6'6 doctor felt exactly where I was pinched and cracked my neck, back and hip accordingly. Its taken a whole week for my neck to even remotely feel better. And I'm going in for another readjustment on Monday just to be sure.

So, after all this we got back to his house to get ready for new years. I...am always exhausted after I'm adjusted at the chiropractor so I crawled into bed and took a cat nap while we waited for his buddies to show up. He didn't even know I was sleeping lol. The next thing I know he's inviting his friends into his room and I'm thinking 'god i'm glad i'm wearing pants...'

Over the next hour, I got increasingly agitated and got super snippy with him, on at least 3 occasions. I felt really bad about it later, and actually apologized to him when we got to his uncles house. BC he got really distant in the car...super quiet with me so I knew he wasn't happy bc of my mood swing. But after a lot of sleepless nights and continuous pain...i almost couldn't' help it. After I apologized we seemed to relax again and settle back into our normal routine.

Now...his uncles house was all set up for a massive bash. Outdoor bar, music, ginormous bon fire and lots n lots of yummy food. I helped myself to a piece of sub, some mac n cheese and a hot tottie (cider n rum n cinnamon. it was so good on that cold night). We all settled on the snowbank that had been molded into a seating half circle round the fire, with boat cushions as seats lol. Tons more people arrived, with their dogs too. I swear there ended up being like 6 dogs there. A mut, a black lab, an aussie, and a Labradoodle stand out to me.

After an hour or so of bsing we went up to the game room and played pool for a while to warm up. I suck so hard at pool. His dad on the other hand makes it look easy...A little later in the evening just before the ball dropped he tried to teach me and Amanda (Charles' Bros gf) how to shoot properly. Yea...that didn't go so well but it was fun times I guess. Charles' mom knows how to drink and got herself quite tispy that night and while I was upstairs attempting to learn pool I guess she cornered poor Charles and was like "Charles....you know shes the one right? I mean I like her a lot so, shes so the one". (This story was told to me by him and his sister later on lol) I guess Cat (his sister) was Rofling during this talk and Charles just shook his head. His mom is funny but its good to know she likes me.

The new year rang in, I got my glass of champagne and toasted with everyone else and got my new years kiss. Then his uncle...the mad man he is tried to drop his ring of fire into the bon fire. The ring of fire was like a dozen sterno tins attached to a copper circle. The first time it dropped he missed the fire, so he tried again....and again...and yet again. Every time he would raise this ring the sterno poured onto the ground so it was raining flaming sterno. MADNESS!!! Finally he got it in there perfect and everyone was like OMG STOP ITS PERFECT!! lol.

Next up the stoners did their thing, I just kinda hung out and watched bc I wasn't partaking of that. Charles tends to get really mushy n clingy when he's high so he kinda attached himself to my hip and wouldn't let go. We started tickling each other being the gross couple we are. His friend Rich (who had drank way too much and was now high) decided he wanted to play too and tried to see if I was ticklish. Now with the straightest face I've ever seen, my bf goes, "Rich...don't tickle my gf" I was like whoa...overprotective bf check! Its really the first time i've ever seen him even remotely jealous or protective of me. And Rich is one of his closest friends.

Anyways, Hugs n kisses got tossed around between his family and me before they left and to wish me a happy new year. Soon after that we played some more pool and foosball this time. Then after a long cold firey night we went home. The stoners played some wii while i rested my head in Charles lap. Around 3:30 am we all finally called it a night and I took some advil and passed out. It was a fun night. Next year I can only hope some of my friends will tag along.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! =)
