Happy New Year!

We will have a son in 2009.  It's going to be an amazing year.

Last night Richard and I went to visit some of our best friends in Springfield to celebrate the new year and the guys birthdays.  Richard turns 30 on Jan 5th and Shane's birthday is Jan 6th so we always try and celebrate together.  It usually includes going to the Hockey Classic at the Savannah Civic Center.  FUN!  We had a very relaxing enjoyable night but a few things are worth mentioning:)

• I almost cut my finger birdie finger off with Shane and Jessie's new Chef knife.  I was trying to cut an onion and my clumsy, pregnant self slipped and gave myself a nice deep cut.  I tried to milk this injury for all it was worth.  
• Richard brought two movies from the Movie Gallery...both were guy movies.  I really didn't mind either.  I can appreciate a little violence myself.  We popped the first one in and turned it off due to the GRAPHIC nudity.  It was aweful.  So, don't take the kids to see The Bank Job with Jason Statham.  Not only was it immoral, it was looked to be the quality of a Mexican soap opera.  I like Statham in the Transporter, but this was ridiculous.  
• We watched the traitor with one of my favorite actors, Don Cheadle.  This movie was excellent.  I recommend it... it was intense and smart.  It kept you guessing up until the very end.
• For dessert, we had a cheesecake sampler.  I chose to try the chocolate cheesecake.  It was delicious and Little Baby Doty was doing cartwheels for an hour, so I guess he liked it too:)
• If you know me very well, you know I have a thing about fireworks.  I tried to talk my loving husband into going to River St to see the fireworks.  I even tried to tell him that that what his SON wanted.  Oh yes, I was laying it on thick.  He was not going to be talked into "driving with all the drunks downtown".  But, he redeemed himself by taking me out to the nature reserve right past the Hoolihan Bridge and we saw the fireworks from the warmth and safety of our Honda Accord all by ourselves.  It was pretty special.  
• I was proud to be a Bulldawg fan today and enjoyed watching them beat Michigan State!
• We had the traditional black eyed peas, greens, etc for lunch today.  I think I'm about to take a nap and sleep off that yummy food!
