New Year's Recap

Last week, work was awesome - left early everyday! There was really no one around so it was pretty quiet. On Thursday night, we were to go to a New Year's Eve's Eve party but due to the rain and worsening of my cold, we decided to stay in. This year for Christmas, I got my DH Final Fantasy X for his PS2. He's played it before but wanted to own the game. So, I end up playing the game. :p I've burned so many hours on this game this past New Year's weekend...hehehe.

We also started cleaning the house as we were hosting a potsticker making party on the night of the Eve. It's always nice to have a clean house...it only lasted like a day. Potsticker making was interesting, people got really creative with them. Mainly because it's hard to roll a round piece of dough for the skin so we ended up with weird amoeba-shaped dough skin. We had bought 8 pounds of ground meat from the market but I guess we should've accounted for the fact that there were mostly girls. oops. But we finished everything and had a LOT of potstickers leftover. Thank goodness my DH has a huge appetite, especially for food that he likes.

Saturday night was a mystery dinner hosted by a good friend. All I have to say is a) accents are hard and b) it's not fun being accused. But the food was good! :)

Sunday was bridesmaid dress shopping. Spent time picking out dresses, trying them on, and deciding on length and material. Our saleslady suggested a dress she said looked bad on the rack but good on the person - and she was right! I thought that was pretty cool. By the time we headed out of the shop, it had begun to downpour. And of course, we did not have an umbrella. So we ran through the rain to the car. I haven't done that since junior high! :D It was actually rather enjoyable although I wish I had rattier clothes on. Totally reminded me of being a kid again - boy, I feel old sometimes.
