Happy New Year Everyone!!

Last night I caught a glimpse into my future if I don't make some changes to myself starting today. Through a series of unfortunate events, we ended up at a local bar that we don't particularly like, but we were with friends so it was good. We were originally going downtown to a slightly better bar. Really the only difference in the two were the age of the people.

So there we were, sitting in the dining area which is right near the 'dance floor'. My friend Steph turns to us and says "there we are in 25 years, friends" We all turn to look and see couples dancing and a few circle of girls dancing. The youngest person out there was at least 45. We all just stared for a little....it was a real eye opener. I don't want to be at a bar with someone who dances like they are on fire. I don't want to be old and dance like I am on fire. I looked over at J1 and saw fear in her eyes. But then the free Champagne toast came and I had my usual two glasses, so we were ok. And this year all of the liquid stayed in the glass and didn't end up on my shirt!

The night ended with Doug looking frantically for his missing fiance. She was pie-ied and went to wait for him in the car. When he got there she wasn't. He and P.J. started looking outside around the shopping center (the bar is in a shopping center!). Steph went back in the bar to look in the bathrooms but was drawn to the dance floor to dance to 'Hey Ya' by Outcast. The Boy and J1 went to the bar to look for her in pint and shot glasses (she wasn't there). I sat outside in case she turned up, but really I just wanted to eat Steph's wings and smoke a cigarette.

We finally found her. She had wondered to an ice cream shop at the end of the shopping center because she wanted ice cream. When she saw it was closed at 1am, she simply sat to relax a little. Doug took her straight to the car and home, while P.J. went to the bathroom to throw up.

All in all it was a good night.
