happy new year, perhaps.

i spent my new years away from the family for the first time. well, i went to the gigantic dinner of Chinese food tradition, but i left at 8:30 to go to Heather's.

her brother drove us to Andrea's and there was only 9 of us and we spent the majority of the time playing cards which was very quiet and humble but a ton of fun, and i even drank two glasses of wine.
around midnight we all ran outside to watch the fireworks. then we walked back inside and continued playing Asshole.

I spent the night at Heather's and in the morning we went to Kelsey's to bring some of the Twee headquarters into Heather's pathfinder. it was work, but it was fun.

at 1, we drove over to my place for my mom's New Years Day dinner and everyone was here, even little Adriano =)

Heather flies back to Holland on Saturday. i'm debating whether i should go see her for an official good-bye, or if i should just leave it as is as a "see you later" which it really technically is.. if i get my act together and get my Italian passport as soon as possible..
