Champagne @ MindSay

Yep, don't have any photos myself yet, first wedding I've ever been too, it was a church one. They had free champagne afterwards, I had a few but the alcohol caught up on me a bit unexpectedly  -I felt fine and knocked back about 5 or so glasses (and I hardly ever drink), and now I get a headache whenever I move!
My own damn fault :p

I used being drunk as a cover though to say some things that should hopefully encourage one of my uncles that we (or at least I) don't hold taboos (he has a 'secretly' gay son) - and that we're not as stuck up as we might come across accidently by default (we're just reserved). I believe generally that alcohol brings out the real person underneath, because you take the inhibitions away - and everything you see then must've been part of that person anyway, it's not as if alcohol gives you new thoughts

Happy New Years everybody!  This is gonna be a short post, too much to drink.  Gonna crash in a sec.  Just got home from Atmosphere, where I rung in the new year with some people from work.  It was fun, and there was no cover.  DJ, party favors, appetizers, champagne toast.  Champagne rocks.  Kick ass in 2007.

A mindsay Party!! Step up to the mini bar, help yourself, enjoy the music, the dance floor is hoppin!  Celebrate my birthday and bring in the New Year ...share your hopes, wishes, goals...whatever is on your mind for a great new 2007... a year of breakthrough!

 

Love and Laughter,

Dawn

Being a redhead has always been a fantasy of mine, well actually a slender 5ft 10 redhead but I cant change my height and am not motivated enough to change my weight but I can dye my hair. SO I did. A coppery dark reddish blonde which really suits my green eyes very well. Mom was a redhead so  maybe it’s meant to be. I am going to keep it for a few years anyway.

 

 

Jim arrived on time Saturday and we toured the decorations and then rested because we had a 7:30 curtain for Balanchine’s Nutcracker at the Keller. We  had center box seats.  While it didn’t have all the dancing that our favorite Barishnikov’s version has, it was exciting, entertaining and a great way for jim to start the holiday season.  Pioneer Place and square was ablaze with lights and even though we got to the chart house just as the kitchen was closing, the night was wonderful. Fog was coming in and the street lights glowed as individual puddles of yellow light swathed in cotton.  Then eve morning we came up with a master plan for jim’s dressing room so he would have it work well. And for the evening stu and dana came over for rosemary chicken, risotto and carrots. We had stolen ( a new recipe with marzipan rather than my mother in laws)  and asti spumante.

 

 

After the starks left we opened modest gifts, gave abi  some balls in tissue paper which she enjoyed tearing apart and stayed by the fire enjoying the calm and love and jim’s  being here. Christmas morning we had eggs benedict for brunch, took naps, played with Abi. Tomorrow the shelves for the library arrive and within a week we will be able to get rid of the plethora of boxes, then every room will be almost completely done- just painting and tweaking and buying some sort of  resistance weight machine for jim because the heavy one in the other house isn’t worth shipping. And did I say we finally have a contract on the house ??????????? oh god did we need the money. Now we can pay off credit card debt. Jim wants the laptop- he will bring the big computer with him when he drives  out in early January. And then it’s onward and upward.
