Ringing in a New Decade

2010 started a few days ago. New Year's Eve started with me going into work, per usual. I left around noon and met my daughter, mom, and sister for lunch at a local pub. Then I dropped my daughter off at my brothers...after a healthy glass of homemade Bailey's, went home. I was going over to to my friend's house for the night. Almost bailed, as it was about 20 below zero and icy as hell out. Made myself go. A group of us went to dinner at the a family owned Italian restaurant. Free wine - evening has started out well. Proceeded back to my friend's house. He lives about two blocks form the restaurant, but as stated before, it was freezing, so we drove. Anyhow, didn't really have plans - for some reason I thought we should play quarters.

Now, it has been almost 20 years since I bounced a quarter off a table, into a glass, and made someone drink. We had a blast. 3 of us in the group have been friends since high school and fell right back into our immature ways. Listen to 80s music...took some dance breaks...made up silly rules ("SueButt is the best")...

I think it is time to revert and spend this new decade as if I had my whole life ahead of me...maybe just a tad wiser this time though!
