Happy New Years Eve! Here's a collection of random thoughts:

Every year this holiday ends up being such a let down. I try not to get too excited about it anymore.

We are having some couples over to the house tonight- Josh & Jana, Patrick & Mallory and Ryan somebody and his girlfriend (Josh invited them). I am going to Party Galaxy after work, as suggested by my bestie, to buy some helium balloons, some festive plates and napkins and some party hats and poppers. Then to the liquor store for the good stuff- Asti champagne!!!

I am a champagne girl, I could swim in a river of it....

We have board games, movies and Wii on the agenda. It should be a good time! One of these years, I WILL get to NYC to celebrate in Times Square. One of my old interns was just here visiting, she moved to NYC and has an apartment a few blocks down from there. She's always telling me to come visit and I might just have to take her up on it. There are a lot of OU alums that moved out there after graduation actually...my old roommate Sarah Lindenberg is still working for CNN and stealing internet and water from the neighbors. Haha!

So I'm not making any resolutions for 2010. I know myself well enough to realize that it's pointless...I never stick with anything for more than a week!

I'm also very excited that 2010 is the year I become Mrs. Andrea Hurst. Wow, that's weird.

When I was in high school, my two best friends and I used to write each other letters on New Years Eve and then we would save them until the following New Years Eve to open them. It only lasted a few years, but it was such a fun tradition that I think of it every time this night rolls around.

There is going to be a blue moon tonight! Which, although I've looked it up, can't remember what that means. Obviously the moon won't be blue, but I think it's supposed to be huge and really bright, and it's super rare for a blue moon on NYE so I think it's cool. I need to go google it again.

See ya in 2010....
