New Years 2006…a rapid downward spiral.
Contrary to popular opinion, I am actually old and dull and no fun unless I’m really pissed off at someone or having some SERIOUS hormonal adventures. So when Patrick and I put on our party clothes and went out for New Years, we were hoping the night would produce some highly entertaining photographic evidence. We were not disappointed.
In a nutshell, the night involved fire, theft, a puppy, acrobatic feats, and an accidental near-sterilization. Not necessarily in that order. Although I’m pretty sure the trouble started when the boys all piled in the back of a pick up truck (god bless the south) for a run to the liquor store for more of this…
And on the way back, they “commandeered” (aka THEIVED) a discarded Christmas tree which went from this…
(And yes…that IS Patrick lighting the fire and that IS someone standing there with a hose because Patrick’s pyromaniac tendencies aren’t exactly a secret)
to this…
in record time.
That event was followed by some more
and a little
which led to Patrick in a tree.
Why was he in the tree? Well, because he was rescuing this little angel.
Not pictured…the aftermath of me ACCIDENTALLY shooting my friend Emily’s fiancee in the nuts with a roman candle and the new gash in my leg when I recalled the roman candle event at a most inopportune moment…shaving my legs in the shower the next day…OUCH!
Anyway, happy new year. Again.

Oh my god. I want that puppy. It’s making my ovaries hurt.

So cute! Are you going to keep him?

Oh…yeah…no. We aren’t keeping him at our house. My friend who had the party at her house is keeping him. Belle would need SERIOUS therapy if we brought another dog into the house, a baby I think she’ll be able to handle, but a puppy? Fuck no. I couldn’t even hold him because he was so cute, if I did, we would have had to take him home.

You know, when you mentioned on the phone needing to do your hair because you were going out, I pictured some classy high-society ball type thing.

Wow, a night like that, and you think you are old and boring? Damn, I would hate to see what you did when you thought you were young and interesting!

Wow… that beats the hell out of Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s. Now, I feel old. Really old.
Happy New Year!

You know, I would’ve thought my New Year’s Eve celebration was a success if any ONE of those things took place in my VICINITY!
Good job! Happy New Year!

Ha! Happy New Year! I so wish I was at your party because all we did was go to bed. Damn.

Next year, you’ll have to come by the Bonanza/Dutch Oven pad for some serious burning, plenty of alcohol, no neighbors to worry about and plenty of room to shot roman candles without aiming them at someone (unless we piss you off).
