And a beer bong for the lady?

On New Year's Eve, I went shopping. For myself. And bought my sister a winter jacket. *sigh* But she really, really needed one and it was 50% off. So we decided it was her birthday present (she turns 22 in 8 days). I did get myself mucho clearanced items at Bath and Body Works, though. Mmm... Clearance.

And since I didn't like what my mom was making for dinner, I bought the makings for pizza bagels for our lil NYE party that evening. Also got 3 4-packs of wine coolers. I don't like beer and I wasn't gonna get drunk, so wine coolers sealed the deal.

My aunt Barb and cousin Justin came over. Barb left after a while to go with her husband to some casino night thing at a restaurant. Justin stayed behind to play games with us. But before that, we were all playing my Christmas dvd game, Scene It, the television version. It was a lot of fun. Except my mom kept calling me a drunk, despite the fact that my drinking total was TWO wine coolers all night. Apparently she thought she was being funny, but it was quite annoying. I made a smartass remark to her about dating men for furniture (don't remember if I blogged about that before... A guy from work gave her two chairs for free, so I accused her of sleeping with him...because I'm mean like that). Anyway, she replied, "Yeah, well, I got a marriage proposal yesterday. What did you get?" I gave her a weird look. Apparently Nikki's dad asked my mom to marry him when she offered him dinner. Although I didn't know this at the time, and she said again, "I got a marriage proposal yesterday. I didn't have to sleep with anyone to get it, either." I replied, "No, you just had to pick up his beer tab," insinuating she'd been slumming at the bar. Her face turned red and we all laughed at her. Zing!

After pigging out on all the food and Barb had left, Aaron and Nikki went upstairs and Mom went to bed. That left me, Manda, Jerz, and Justin. We were playing a Disney Trivia game (oh, you think that's lame? Well, read on). Towards the end of the game (which we never did finish), we got on the subject of that old classic tv show Saved by the Bell. Justin wondered why there wasn't a Saved by the Bell trivia game. We, too, couldn't figure out why there wasn't one. Who wouldn't want to play it? So Manda, Justin and I began making up our own trivia questions. We stayed away from the early years (with Miss Bliss as their teacher) and the college years (because they were boring).

At midnight, Manda and I toasted to the new year.
Manda: May I get laid this year.
Me: Oh, I'm pretty sure that'll happen, you whore.
*we laugh
Manda: May you get a hot boyfriend.
Me: Yes, and may his name be Steve Gonsalves. Oh, and may I also move to Massachusetts.
Manda: May I come with you?
Me: No.

Justin slept over at my grandparents' house. He and I stayed up 'til 2 a.m. playing dice and talking. The next day (or much later that day, whatever) his mom came to pick him up, and I talked her into going shopping with me. Damn that Bath and Body Works! I'm so weak. But it was all 50%-75% off! How could I resist? Ten-dollar lipgloss for only $2.50! It's so shiny and red-tinted and appley smelling.

I finished watching my Ghost Hunters season. And was broken-hearted when I saw Steve hook up with a girl on the show. :( He's supposed to be saintly waiting for me to appear in his life! Doesn't he know that? Sheesh. They'd better have broken up by now, damn it. (I'm horrible, aren't I?)

Hung out at Mom's last night, watching Saving Silverman. Oh, Jack Black. "Dude, if the nachos are stuck together....then that's one nacho."
