Happy New Year!

Happy '09 everyone! My New Year's was spent in Baltimore with some of my favorite people at a little place called PJ's. Highlights of the night--Mike being the only guy at the bar with facial hair, drunk girl with a boot-cast on her leg slutting it up, drunk girls puking all over the place and, last but not least, walking up 6 flights of stairs because the elevators in our hotel room were not working.

I'd have to say that, amidst all of the crazy partying, my favorite part of the night was the pre-game portion that took place in our hotel room. Col, Mike and I did a power half-hour with toasts at each minute interval to changes we wish to see in 2009. Below are some of our most note-worthy...

Changes we'd like to see in '09:

• The addition of the Big Mac to the dollar menu (at least for a limited time)
• The troops to be brought home indefinitely
• A 4-day work week
  
• Mariah Carey and Nick Canon to have a child
• All the obesity hooplah to end...everything in moderation people!
• For certain, un-named people to fall off the face of the earth
• "For Liz, John, Erik, and basically all of Mike's friends, to settle down with someone" -- Thanks Col!!!

So there you have it. Here's to a year of cheers, beers, and happy tears!~
