Happy New Year! Welcoming 2011 with a smile.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have been trying to upload photo's from last night for the past 30 minutes and haven't had any luck at all! I don't know if it's an issue with my computer or what... but, be ready for the good, the bad, and the ugly in photo's!

We just got home over an hour ago from our journey to Maryland for New Years Eve with friends. What a nice time! I danced, danced, drank, drank... and had a really nice time. Please excuse the photo's in advance. I was a bit tipsy. (lol).

Here's what I think about having an open bar at a New Year's eve celebration...
Plan on some big clean up the next morning. NO, not me... BUT many of the hotel guests. My goodness.... This morning it was about 50 degrees out, so the six of us decided to walk across the street to grab a nice breakfast. There was so much vomit on the sidewalks. parking lot, etc.. It was terrible.... what the heck? I was not about to allow myself to get to that point. It's no fun while it's happening, and the next couple of days are ruined. I am SO glad I was cautious, careful, and chose a wine that wouldn't totally kick my ass. No hangover at all this morning! AMEN to that! I did, however, get almost zero sleep. I had the worst cramps on earth, and my back and hip was killing me. Instead of getting up out of the bed and taking medicine, I laid there and suffered because I was to tired, and in to much pain to get up. Good one, Erin..... I did take my meds this morning, which helped, but then by mid afternoon I felt like I was being stabbed with a knife. Poor poor me. *sigh....

So, it was a long, but very nice day. We stopped at Maryland's first and only Casino - Hollywood, which is a sister casino of the Hollywood in Harrisburg area. It sucked, and I have no desire to ever go there again. Nope.... I didn't like it one bit. And, after that, we went to Delaware Park. I really enjoyed that. AND, left with money after playing slot machines for like 6 hours. No kidding. lol. Although I felt horrible, I still enjoyed the Park. It's nice, smoke free, more on the quiet side, and the machines were giving back! That's always a plus.

And now I am sitting on my couch like a zombie. I will try to post picture again in a few minutes... I hope it works. This year I am going to post silly pictures again. I am not going to take myself so seriously. I look ridiculous in most of the pictures, but I have the ability to make fun of myself... and I think that's a good thing.

I'm rambling.

I can't help myself.
