It's New Years Eve, People!

Oh! You knew that? Because you're way more in touch with reality than I am?

Oh.

A couple of things I'd like to say.....first of all? It's my sister Myrna's last day of work!!!!!! Woo HOOOOOO! She has 3 weeks off before she starts her new job! There's nothing like a new job! You have no idea what's going on in terms of office politics yet, so there's SUCH a nice honeymoon period! Yay Myrna :)

Also, Myrna wasn't feeling well when we had our big family party on Saturday. She had a raw, red nose.
And you know what? She showed up anyway. How cool is that? Because I don't mind telling you? If there's any inkling of an illness AND an event at the inlaw's?
I'm soooooo skipping the in-laws.
Unless Michelle and Kris are there. Then I'll come.
Anyway.....Myrna played the dice game with us. Because that girl looooves a good game of 6,5,4.

My other sister, Dawn? Freakin' saint, people. And she knows why. And that's all I'm saying on my blog about THAT.

My Mom has had the Noodle for 2 days! Yesterday I slept until 6 am, blogged, then took a nap. Then I stayed in my jammies until about 4pm when I showered and changed into clean jammies.
I like clean jammies.

Oh! Guess what? Big party at my Pal Liz's house tonight! Woo hoo! My girls will all be there. A couple of the girls have aupairs, so we all throw some money at them and they watch the kids for us. The best part is that the hubbies all really enjoy each other.

You know what?

NOW is the time for a house tour!!!! Don't you think???
I had a heckuva time finding a suitable house this time. Nothing was hitting me.....until I saw the windows on this beautiful hunk of house.

Here she is! It looks gigantic, but is only 2500 square feet.

Ha. Only. That's a palace to me :)

Anyway, this one is in a great neighborhood in Minneapolis right by Lake Calhoun. It's got 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a finished basement with a family room. It's about 800k.

Ahhhhh....the white kitchen with the dark counter tops. Love it. And look at the window by the table!!! Cute, no? Heck, I love the table!

The formal dining room. You can tell the house is staged, but at least they didn't "set the table". I really hate when stagers do that. And when they put a breakfast tray on a bed. I hate that too.

The living room.

One of the sun rooms.

The office. Let's blog here together, okay? Okay!

One of the bedrooms. Dang. I just want to crawl into that pretty bed, don't you? And I just love those windows on either side of the pretty bed.

The basement family room. Don't worry....I'll fix it up. It'll be fine. Slap a little paint on those walls and it'll be good as new :)

Please have a safe New Years Eve. I have the feeling that the people who read my blog aren't big drinkers****......but please be very careful on the road tonight. Stay a good distance away from other cars on the road. You never know how much they've had to drink. Not to be morbid or anything, but last year we didn't even go to Liz's because I just had a bad feeling about leaving the house and being on the road. It's just not worth it.

Plus? I like to be in bed early.

Have a safe, healthy evening!

****(Edited to add.....if you enjoy reading this thing? Maybe taking a little nip here and there wouldn't be such a bad idea. It would bring a little sloshy excitement to your life. You probably need it.)
