Yesterday was certainly light years away from New Years' past. Mike and I both worked. We tried to listen to the UK basketball game as we worked, but found ourselves distracted by our jobs (can you imagine?). Regardless, they somehow pulled out a win. We both got off early and met at the house. We went to Jimi and Jaime's house to watch UK play football in the Music City Bowl. I left during the game to meet a group of friends at a sushi bar for dinner, then returned to see the end of the game, where we pulled out a win. Mike and I hung out there for the evening. Jaime is pregnant also, so we played with her daughter while the guys drank and played video games upstairs. Jimi and Mike had heard about the "pencil test" at work, which is supposed to determine the sex of your babies, so they decided to test it out on Jaime and me. The test said Jaime's first child would be a girl (which is true) and the second will be a boy. The test also said I will have a girl, quite contrary to the opinion of anyone and everyone who sees me. Quite interesting. We stayed there until about 11:30, when we were simply too tired to hang out any longer. We got home about 11:55, changed into our pajamas, kissed at midnight, and went to bed.
Today we slept late, then I moved to the couch where I proceeded to finish an entire novel. Mike cleaned out our future workout room in the basement that currently houses his second reef aquarium. He used one of the closets downstairs to organize his supplies, so now my treadmill will fit into the room. Not sure how much use that will get in these next two months, but it's nice to know it's ready when I am.
Tonight I made brownies and Mike went to the store and bought ice cream and milk to accompany them. We sat on the couch in front of the fire and listened to the wind howl outside. A perfect New Year's Day. If only I weren't turning 35 tomorrow...
