I so loved RED: Hellen Mirren changed her fancy shoes to practical boots to go into action! Perfect.

I had a nice NYE with a friend who came over and we watched Truly, Madly, Deeply and Toy Story 3. And then at midnight some of my wonderful neighbors stood on the sidewalk and fired a handgun into the air. And I realized I really really need to move this year.

Now I am mildly hungover because I went to an afternoon party and had yummy drinks and then came home and helped kill a bottle of bubbly. I have to remember that it doesn't matter if I drink over a really long period: I'm still going to be hungover if I have more than 3 drinks in a day.

I now have laundry in the wash, I have cleaned the kitchen, and I'm planning to go for dim sum with my nieces. And if I have time I may go see Tangled before it disappears from the theaters.

Oh dear, I am so glad to hear I missed the Reagan float.

I should finish cooking breakfast, shouldn't I? Hmm.

I'm at the train station. Why are so many people traveling today? They should go away.

Mmm dim sum sounds so good right now, but it turns out I'm making French toast.

Ooo, I like the dragon!

My kids are clamoring for more Harry Potter so I think after breakfast we'll sit down and read another couple chapters. LOVE how much they love those books!

And if I have time I may go see Tangled before it disappears from the theaters.

I took Sara to a matinee on Wednesday and it was completely full, which I didn't expect even with the kids off school. It was also delightful.

The SO woke up, so I took a breakfast break with the Tivo paused. It took me more than a half an hour, so I must have missed the mermaids. I'll have to check the other tivo'd feed later.

I loved the dogs! I always love the dogs. The wild mustangs float was pretty. Agree about the house boat helicopter thing. And wasn't that just their ad? Dislike. I like the bagpipers.

So yeah, breakfast was scrambled eggs and pancakes with powdered sugar and strawberry slices. It was nom, and a great way to start the new year.

I'm on the train now, at least. And I'm wearing a shirt with ninjas on it. It seemed like a good sartorial choice to start the year.

Ninjas are always in fashion.

I'm trying to remember my high school physics: if you shoot a gun into the air, doesn't the bullet come down at the same velocity it left the gun at?

And if so, omg wtf is wrong with people who fire guns into the air in an urban area?

Okay, back to laundry and then out for dim sum.

Are they airing last year's classic?

Suckers at my old job have still not turned off my bb.

Are they airing last year's classic?

It's from 2? 3? years ago.
