BEST New Year's EVER!!
Mood: Happy
Listening to: Grey's Anatomy
I can't even believe that I was tossing up whether or not to go to my girlfriends place for New Years.
It was far and away the BEST PARTY EVER!!!
No pressure, no boys, no need to be self conscious. Just good friends, good food, good music and a swimming pool.
Whats not to love!?!
We had an amazing BBQ dinner, sitting under the endless star studded sky. The kids ran around having an absolute ball, we swam before dinner, we ate, we laughed, we danced. Kids were put to bed, we danced some more.
12pm arrived, we popped party poppers, kisses all round. I was actually a little bit worried about the 12pm thing... being in the company of a bunch of couples, not a single man in sight.
Thought they would all pair off and I'd be standing there all alone feeling like a pathetic old sausage.
But that didn't happen. There were actually three of us single ones (the other two were married men, who's wives were working) and no one really had a long embrace with their significant other anyway. Just lots of quick kisses on cheeks (or lips for those married to one another) and best wishes exchanged.
And then we danced some more. And went swimming again.
I actually didn't get out of the pool until 3.30am, I was swimming about with JC, who's a dive master. It was cool. He was teaching me how to sit on the bottom of the pool for an extended period of time (he was much much better at it than me I'm afraid!) then we girls did some silly noodle races, and I engaged in some solo synchronised swimming. Where I didn't realise it at the time, but I seriously injured my self.
Every muscle in my body is screaming bloody murder right now!! Especially my back. I guess its not used to bending and twisting like that!
And the best best best bit? There wasn't a whole heap of drinking going on! Yay! Not that I have anything against drinking (obviously) but I just much prefer to have a great time with my friends, and wake up the next day feeling human. All night I had 3 glasses of wine and 1 V & O (Vodka & OJ).
We slept in swags under the glorious stars, woke up early, and had another swim before heading for home at about 11.
We're already planning next year... I was designated DJ for the night, and I have a list of songs that they want added to the playlist for next year already. Its going to be awesome!
Hope your New Years Eve went brilliantly as well, I'm still hanging out to hear about your resolutions... come on lurkers!! Spill!!
