So 2010 is here, huh? Crazy. But not as crazy as "Snooki" from Jersey Shore. I didn't make any New Year's resolutions this year because I knew I'd break 'em. Instead I'm hellbent on surprising myself if I do happen to, say, lose weight or be a better person. A lot has happened since my last blog but I'll break the updates down in another post. I'll just talk about my trip to Pennsylvania & NYE here.Shane & I visited his hometown and family for 2 weeks. Altoona is a cute small town surrounded by a lot of trees and nature-related stuff. The temperature was a warm 23 degrees or below and there was snow everywhere. I didn't get a chance to see everything Altoona had to offer because it was too cold to stay outside for more than 5 minutes. Texas Hot Dogs, Sheetz, Brothers Pizza, Yeungling beer, some pizza place in Pittsburgh that puts Dorito chips on the pizza, Hoss's, Zach's, The Knickerbocker, McFadden's, shopping at Logan Valley mall, driving through a beer/beverage place and getting beer without ever leaving the car, experiencing snowfall at night, Shane's handprint from when he was 5-6yrs oldish, the basement with the "sex futon," 6 days of sunshine (not consecutively), drawing a heart in the snow with my feet and trying to write Shane and mine's intials in 2 feet of snow without falling over, seeing a woodpecker in the tree for the first time ever, playing with Parker, Peyton, and Piper Alice... and then getting rejected by Royer (they're all kids under the age of 5 by the way), watching Glee with Papa & Mama McGraw and Shane, giggling with Shane & Grant under Matt & Emily's porch in the basement, New Year's Eve in Pittsburgh and fist pumping all night long. These are just some of the highlights of the trip.
As for NYE itself. We went to McFadden's and for $40 bucks you got entry and a dinner buffet. Then $2 drinks and beers all night til midnight. Got wasted and had my first ever midnight kiss. Witnessed a fight inside the bar, and when the guy got up from the floor, his shirt was soaked in alcohol and whatever else was on the floor. Walked for MILES to find the casino nearby in heels and 15 degree weather. Stole a cab and almost got our asses beat by the line of people waiting for cabs. Continued the festivities at Grant's place in sweatpants while munching down on cold "stoner-pizzas." Kicked Grant out of his own room and then threatened to trash his bedroom (LOL). The best way to start off a new year... ever.
