Happy New Year 2005!

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope your celebrations were all safe and fun filled. It’s no way to start a new year with tragedy and sorrow.
My night was fun filled. The girlfriend and I went out to dinner at TGI Fridays. We got there around 6pm and waited about an hour to get seated. We started out with some Atkins buffalo wings which were really good. She had the Atkins New York Strip Steak and I had the classic Baby Back Ribs. What can I say the Fridays Ribs are great! We finished off with slice of cheese cake.
We headed back to my place to spend rest of the night. Of course first stopping at the grocery store to get a bottle of the bubbly! I bought Korbel Brut. It’s pretty nice champagne for 12 bucks.
We watched the New Year’s shows and played some board games to pass the time. It was fun just being able to spend the night together!
Come the countdown I ran to get the champagne from the fridge and we counted down to midnight. We kissed and wished each other a happy new year then popped the cork. We just had a small glass each and spent a while talking and watching TV. I took her home a little after 1am.
When I got back I figured there was no use in wasting a perfectly good bottle of the bubbly so I finished it up myself and headed off to bed.
Now that’s what I call a good New Years!
