Happy New Year's from L&L

As you can see Lina made it safely here. I was going to blog on Sunday (Lina got in late Sat) but my roommie forced me to have a drink and that drink turned into half a bottle of champagne so I didn't get beyond a paragraph, LOL.

Lina was a road warrior and drove from Philly to Daytona in one shot. She got stalled in Jacksonville due to holiday traffic and people coming into town for the bowl games (college football for you non-Americans, LOL). But she persevered and made it here a little after 10. She started her day at 4am, gasp! We got her unloaded quickly thanks to our neighbor's shopping carts and settled down to drink some wine (Lina travels prepared) and catch up.

Sunday was exhausting. We began our day at 9am. I can tell Lina is going to be changing my lifestyle. We went to a few furniture stores to get Lina's bedroom set up and you know it was a shock to the system when we went to the store where I got my couch and they weren't even open yet. I should still be in bed! After we hit the furniture stores we went to the grocery store to get Lina some food, a quick stop back at home to eat and off we were again. We went to Ross, TJ Maxx and Bed Bath and Beyond. We had to be back at 3 since Lina's bed was being delivered. Thank goodness since Lina is a machine! I was pooped. Shoot, I start the day pooped, LOL. We came back home and I went down for a nap after the movers left Lina was going back out to get more stuff and I stayed in bed. My sleep kept getting interrupted but I didn't give up and kept going back to sleep, it would just take awhile.

Unfortunately I have had an upset stomach since Sunday. I woke up Monday popping pepto bismal pills. Lina didn't feel that great either but we were determined to go out, especially since they have a NYE celebration blocks from our house. The nearest drinking establishment is .2 miles from our house. Woo hoo! So after lounging around in the afternoon (and my nap) we finally pulled it together to go out. Yes, I wore flip flops. I was going to be walking! I did wear some flats I've never worn yesterday while I was running errands though. My New Year's resolution is to wear more then flip flops (even though I bought 2 more pair at Ross on Sunday, LOL) and to get in shape. Lina will be making sure I keep resolution #2. She's off to find our gym today. I'm laying in bed today. See, we balance each other out, LOL.

It's actually a block party down the street. They close off the road and there were a bunch of live bands playing. This band was our favorite. Not just because the guitar player was shirtless but because they rocked it. They have a myspace page, too bad I can't remember their name but they'll be there at bike week again so we'll see them then. Lina chose Guinness as her drink of choice, I went with vodka. We started the evening at Gilley's Pub 44 which will be our neighborhood bar. Not only is it .2 miles from home, they have happy hour and their regular priced drinks are pretty spectacular. I was drinking grey goose greyhounds and they were only $6! After that we just wandered and drank. I stopped drinking after 5 or 6 drinks.

About 1am we came home to hit the hot tub. Lina thought I was joking when I said we're going to the hot tub. Yeah right! My feet needed some TLC I was on them all night! So we changed into our suits, ignored the sign that said what the pool hours were and hopped into the very hot hot tub. It felt great but after a few minutes we were done. That and we got tired of our neighbors watching us from their balcony, LOL. Then we crawled into Lina's bed so we wouldn't start the new year off alone. I think I passed out before Lina even made it into her own bed LOL. Yes, the adventure has begun!

I hope that you all had a fabulous New Year's eve. So what are your resolutions?
