I keep having to remind myself (or rather Jason keeps reminding me) that 2012 wasn’t necessarily a bad year. Yes, the end was pretty difficult but things before the end of November were pretty good and while I had a few tough weeks there, I feel like my life is back to normal again.
Since Jason has to work tonight, we figured that there’s no reason why we couldn’t go out for New Year’s Eve during the day instead of at night. Less crowded, no drunk drivers. We get to spend the time together. It’s a win-win, right? We went to The Brickstore Pub in Decatur. The Brickstore is always, always super crowded and at 1pm, it was no different. It also occurred to me that I spent a New Years Eve there before, 10 years ago! How did that happen?
I even straightened my hair for the occasion. I can never do it that well though and it takes literally almost an hour. I don’t understand how other curly haired girls do it every day! I had the veggie sandwich for lunch. It had hummus, avocado and various veggies and was delicious.
There might have been some frozen yogurt afterwards before we went home and I crashed on the couch for 2 hours. And now it’s 8:30 on New Year’s Eve, I’m in my comfortable sweatpants and I don’t really want to be anywhere else. 2012 didn’t really turn out the way I wanted it to, but it ended okay, I guess.
I love your hair straight! I understand not straightening it though – it’s such a PAIN.
Great idea celebrating NYE during the day! I hope 2013 is the best year yet!!
You look so pretty! Happy New Year. Here’s to a bangin’ 2013!
Sounds great to me! We cooked at home in sweat pants and I loved every minute of it.
What a great idea! Still got a chance to ring in the new year together! your hair looks so cute straight! but I also love it curly and I am siure it is a huge pain to straighten it! To 2013 being better
Home in sweat pants can’t be beat!
I totally used to be one of those curly girls who straightened every day! After moving to Atlanta, I kept “boiling my head” as my husband says until one day I just decided to stop. Just. Like. That. I’m curly now for a year or so and it feels so good!
We also had a very chill NYE. We hung at home. I’m just getting over the miserable flu that seems to working it’s way around Atlanta. Stay healthy!
Best,
Rikki
happy new year! nothing wrong with a chill NYE. i hope 2013 brings great things for you
Love your hair! I hope 2013 is fantastic for y’all.
I love your hair straight!! I don’t think I have ever seen it that way!!
Back in the day, when I used to go out a lot, I would straighten it often, but now I am usually too lazy. It literally takes me almost an hour and my hair isn’t even very long!
I love your “New Years Eve.” Totally my speed.
And I love what I can see of your hair- I need a full picture, lady!
