Filed under things that probably only happen to me:

Last night at the party, some of us were taking about the difficulty in taking self portraits with the iPhone.  Unfortunately for me, the entire party went dead silent in one of those eerie mass conversation lulls a split millisecond before I said (loudly, because the other conversations going on around us were lively):

“Remember when I staged that bukkake photo?”

Cue a somewhat embarassed me (but only a little; I have surprisingly little shame) thanking the entire room (featuring some people I met for the first time that evening) for going quiet with supreme timing.

The party was good times! We had Friendmas, which is so much more awesome than Christmas. There were enormous amounts of delicious food:

i made caramel pecan tarts

Festive things dangling:

New toys to play with:

dressing like a grownup continues to escape me

It was an awesome night! Miranda and Reilly are excellent hosts, and don’t mind that I repeatedly arrange parties in their home. It was a wonderful way to ring in the New Year!

I’ve got a pot roast cooking in the crock pot, comfortable clothes on, and no plans whatsoever. Hooray for .. everything!
