Christmas and a Space Needle NYE!

This year for Christmas, I got to spend a 3-day weekend one week prior to the holiday with my fambams and my friends in SF! I flew in on Thursday evening, and hung out with my Al Pals at a new club called Audio. The music was amazing and we had a RIDICULOUS time. I think that night is the most money I've ever spent at a club bar, but it was worth every dollar. And it really felt like back in the college era, except instead of going to Holy Cow we were around the corner from Holy Cow LOL. On Friday, I got to try the ramen wings! I approve. And then at night, I went to my mini middle school reunion and got to catch up with people I literally haven't seen in over ten years. It was really nice to see where people are now, and I'm glad to know that everyone has been successful in their careers and is looking good!

On Saturday, I tried to get a Sushirrito with P and Andy but they ran out of "everything".. whatever that means. We ended up getting dim sum, and then waiting in line at Golden Gate bakery for deeericious egg tarts! And then at night, I went to Huey's surprise birthday! I also got to catch up with Charles, I've really missed him! We still have the same wonderful chemistry, I'm guessing we always will (and I'm hoping he moves to Seattle next). We ended up at Bootie, and then back at Andy and Alex's apt to end the night. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Sunday morning I got to have lunch at Juban with my parents and my brother. We used to go to Juban A LOT because it was so close to home and the food was good. It seems that Juban has gone downhill because both the food and the service were lacking. We had a lot of laughs and catching up at lunch, and it was really nice.. not too much has changed since I've moved, which is the way I like it!

Matt and I spent Christmas day with his family, at his sister's house again. This time it was a smaller celebration (just immediately family + me) and we shared a cozy prime rib dinner. We even exchanged gifts!! I was never really into Christmas but seeing children now during the holidays opening gifts finally makes me understand. Spending holidays with Matt's family is wonderful, I'm so happy to be invited! <3 br="">
For New Years Eve this year, Matt and I decided to take advantage of our central location and watch the fireworks at the Space Needle! I'd never seen them in-person, and neither had a few others that we invited to join us. The fireworks were amazing and watching them on TV really just doesn't do them justice. We walked over to a diner and our first meal for 2014 together! The window said "Lucky 7" on it and we had seven people. 2014 might just be the most amazing year ever for all of us! Or perhaps... the luckiest? :)

Last night was Chad's birthday at Bootie. My getup was not as piratey as I had visualized - corset with skinny jeans and knee-high boots. I forget who told me pirate ladies wear corsets, but I'm pretty sure they don't. I couldn't breathe normally, nor could I bend because of the boning. But aside from being restricting, it looked good. I decided not to wear an eye patch, but I did curl my hair and wear hoop earrings! On the way, Jon and I were trying to talk like pirates. THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT SO WELL but it was pretty damned funny! I had inventory at the crack of dawn this morning, and THAT didn't work out well AT ALL. I ended up only lasting three hours, the drive home was gruesome.
