Happy 2010, suckers. Welcome to a depressing new decade of unemployment. Hooray!
I want to know two things on this festive Friday.
- Did you break a resolution, yet?
- Did you have any weird drinks, last night?
I once spent New Year’s Eve eating jello shots out of an ice cube tray with a spoon. We made the shots with citrus vodka and strawberry jello. Let me tell you something: that shit was gross going down and coming back up.
Happy New Year!

2 diet cokes at the italian restaurant…and toated with decaf coffee…well for New yrs thats weird (oh my new yrs resolution is to cut down on social drinking – not complete cold turkey, just enough to not feel like S#!t the next day)…
M
*pffffbt’s at resolutions*… I am too old for them… broken WAY more than I have kept…
Drinks were Pomegranate Vodka and OJ with a “splash” of grenadine… one of the “splashes” caused the drink to look a tad to medical experiment. I felt that I was drinking and getting so many antioxidants and Vitamin C…truly a healthy drink… every part of me but my head feels younger and energized!
Happy New Years to you!
I miss Jello shots
The problem with resolutions is that most people put and “all or nothing” stipulation to their resolutions. If they break the resolution once, it opens the floodgates to continue to break the resolution. Set goals, not resolutions. Goals allow you to stumble along the way.
If you truly want to make a change to your life, make a change. Don’t make excuses. Don’t give up.
Big Hoppy Monster by Terrapin; beer, yummy tasty. I had jello shots for the first time at HRev, OMG those were good. I felt like crap the next day though.
I don’t do resolutions; I do themes, see my post earlier in the week. My theme sounds similar to @HRputers comment about goals.
@MarkF Whoa, you are my hero. I’d love to give up social drinking but then I’d be boring.
@Randi Those alcoholic vitamins make *all* the difference.
@HRPuter So true and so serious for a friday. But very true.
@Paul Made with Popov vodka, of course.
@April You just had jello shots? Obviously you are too classy.
No drinking, as roads were icy and I was driving anyway. I almost killed myself just walking on sidewalks. However, it would have been wine, probably a riesling or ice wine, and Disaronno-sours.
New years resolution: clean my room.
I’m making no resolutions because, after 2009, 2010 owes us the resolutions! It should get off its fat ass and resolve to get itself in shape and engage in profitable pursuits instead of lazing around watching the Real Housewives and eating Cheetos.
Just had wine last night. And half a container of Trader Joe’s layer dip…and then a half a container of Trader Joe’s brie fondue…half a baguette…half a bag of chips. Now I’m eating Trader Joe’s croissants fresh out of the oven. Oh yes, Martha Stewart is jealous of me.
Bango Lassi – I’m not telling what’s in it, look it up
Happy New Year Laurie.
@ Geoff – do you mean Mango Lassi?
Stayed at home with family/friends. Pomagrante martini, wine, rum-laced egg nog and champagne of course! Then 2 huge glasses of water and feel really good today! The baked french toast and mimosas helped too this morning. And all the food – dip/chips, cheese/crackers, rice, tamales, shrimp, and chocolate bread pudding. Here’s to 2010 – may it be better than 2009.
Every year I resolve to back up my hard drive and give up porn.
I always successfully back up my hard drive and feel victorious.
I always enjoy breaking my other resolution and stopped feeling guilty about it when I graduated high school. Luckily, I didn’t go to Catholic School otherwise that guilt would have lasted longer.
@Laurie – While you are correct in your assessment of my classiness I had far more than jello shots. I recall someone *ahem* wanting to see a photo of a shot. I blamed my massive headache on you the next day.
@econopete Clean room = clean mind!
@H.Aria I’ll be doing my 2010 New Year’s event at your house. With the fondue, please.
@Geoff/Aspiring I’m too lazy to look it up. What is it?
@Ginger Amen. Also, I love pomegranates.
@Deadhedge Zip it with the p0rn. Gross. We all know you’re pervy and you can’t quit the sicko websites. No need to confirm it here.
@aDowling Hahahahhahahahhahahhahahaha. I’m so evil.
I celebrated with baby beers (cuarenta y tres licor & cream). Yummy. Here’s a toast to my fave Punk rocker!! Happy New Year Laurie.
TRISH! That’s awesome. xoxoxo
I had several glasses of Sutter Home merlot, because I’m classy like that.
I can’t tell good wine from cheap wine (unless it’s really bad) , so I go cheap.
Paul, I think you just stumbled upon a future activity for a Twin Cities HR gathering.
@Tim Not cheap. Frugal.
I was in a plan on my way to Japan when the U.S. was celebrating the New Year. I had funny tasting apple juice and a handful of ibprofen!
er, that would be PLANE.
Apparently this is a canonical drink, but it was new/weird/delicious to me: Strawberry pineapple upside-down cake. Shotglass filled half with pineapple juice, half with Frangelico, drizzle of grenadine on top. Delicious.
A friend also mixed me something with hot sauce in it…though I couldn’t tell you what it was.
PS. Bango lassi (or bhang as it’s sometimes spelled) is made with cannabis, I think. Never had it myself!
@Rachel Wow, that drinks sounds weird and delicious. Also, the pot-drink comes from a Canadian so it makes sense.
I was home alone. Mr Hooligan was on the road for work. I didn’t feel like going out with friends though. Stayed home with the pets and had lots of shrimp and Port wine.
Ahh a good Port makes me feel like I am living in the 19th century. Enough of it would probably make me glad I was living in this century with plumbing. I did sleep well though! No resolutions for me, no way…never have done that. I did start off the year watching the Dr Who marathon on BBC though. Ohh time travel….
90 proof Peppermint Schnapps + 101 Wild Turkey + Modelo Cervesa.
“Luke– come over to the Dark Side!!”
I am sorry I am behind on my blogs. I love your posts. This made my day today.
