Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice beginning of 2009! Christmas Eve was incredibly mellow this year. James and I just stayed home with a movie. I tried to make a nice dinner of steak and potatoes. BUT for some reason, after baking the potatoes for over and hour and a half....they were still not even cooked inside. I don't get it. The oven has been really weird lately. Anyway, we ended up having steak. And when I was growing up, my mom always made fun snacks and we would have this sort of feast of snacks that we usually didn't eat much. So I made shrimp cocktail, a fruit tray, spinach pita things, chips and dip, pizza rolls, chocolate mousse and that is all I can remember.... and we sort of vegged out. There are LOTS of leftovers. It was fun. Probably would have been a little more fun had videogames not exist. :(

These pictures would have been cooler had they been not taken on a city street. But I couldn't resist since James was home, I could sneak out and get a few pictures of the crazy dense fog we had last weekend. I probably looked a little crazy walking around in my sweatpants and boots, wandering in the middle of the street taking pictures. I played a little with some different black and white looks so decided to post a variety since I couldn't decide what I liked best.
