Happy New Year everyone!
Captwest - We're only there for 10 days I think. Big family vacation with the cousins and and aunts and uncles. Typically, resorts aren't my thing, but I'm a history junkie, so I can't give up a chance to see the Pyramids!
How did everyone celebrate the new year? I stayed home with my parents and my little brother. The night before I went over to my friends house and played Dictionary all night. When I got home the next morning, I realized that my little brother had gone in my room and turned on my light and forgot to turn it off. So, I think the birds had a rotten sleep with the lights on. When I got home, I turned off the light, got into bed, and the birds went quiet, and we all had a little nap.
My little sister was off at a party, but my parents made an awesome supper. We had a 70$ prime rib, with golden brown potatos and baked carrots with brown sugar. Then my parents cracked open a 100$ bottle of champagne.
After supper I made my little brother watch Paulie. He thought it was hilarious that the bird could talk. Of course the ending made me cry (along with the part where the old lady loses her eye sight).
Right before midnight, I was in bed reading J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey (my friends mom had gifted me with about 10 new books). Around 11, Einstein started chirping, so I let him out. He began preening my hair, but not soon after he drifted off. I put him back in his cage.
All in all, I really enjoyed my New Year Eve. There was no special party, no dressing up. But I got to watch a movie with my favorite buddy, read a book by one of my favorite authors, ate a delicious meal with my family, and in the end, cuddled with my baby cockatiel.
