New Years


I hope that everyone had a safe and happy new year/holiday. I know that Christmas is about spending time with family and friends however I often receive gifts that baffle me. Take for instance these lovely slippers I was given this year. They appear to be something that either Peter Pan or perhaps the Smurfs might enjoy. Take note of the pretty pom pom by the heel. Umm yeah....I asked if they were some type of joke as everyone else received normal slippers; or perhaps she tried to find the ugliest pair possible for fun; maybe they were meant for my grandmother. Nope, mom thought I would like these. PP told my mother it's a good thing she's not sensitive as I rattled off the comments above. I must admit they were good for a laugh!


I spent New Years Eve playing Rock Band and belting out some NIN and Bowie at a friends house. Those bloody drums are next to impossible to play and I didn't even bother with the guitar. The more malibu rum I drank the more of a rockstar I became :)

We also played Cranium and like any grade 8 dance the men were on one side and the women on the other. The game was tied but the bloody bastards came up and stole our thunder at the last minute. I'm definitely done with the New Years Bar scene, it was fun to stay in with a bunch of close friends and play silly games whilst drinking until the wee hours of the morning. Waking up was rather unpleasant though as the entire room as well as my face/ hair/clothes took on the smell of the air mattress.....bleh!! It was this disgusting plasticy yucky smell.

Every year I make a New Years Resolution however I actually forgot about this tradition of mine until it was too late. So I've just decided to work on the goal list I set out and to steal TT's resolution to be more fabulous this year. Perhaps I should start off by not taking photos in random bathrooms anymore. LD & I like to do this when out at bars...umm yeah.







Does anyone else out there do this LOL?

The last time I went out somebody puked in the men's toilet and moreover there were 5 men in there working with a drill. It was the most disgusting experience of my life. So yeah I dont normally find the bathroom in a public place to be the ideal location for a photo shoot. Is that a stud in your tongure?

Those slippers aren't as obsurd as you make them out to be. As long as they're warm, they're doing their job.

Miss Ash said...

Yrautca, fair enough! and yes it is

PP they are awful!

JLee, then you have bad taste in slippers haha and thanks for the compliment :)

Uphorium, I played guitar hero once and don't recall being very good at that either. Ah, be thankful you didn't get smurf bootie slippers.

WIGSF, cosby sweaters i'm sure keep people warm as well....but they are absurd :P

But slippers are only worn at home. Its not like you're wearing them on a date or when you go clubbing and pubbing or something. But when you're sitting at home with a cup of hot chocolate and reading a book. Who cares what your feet look like?

Wiwille said...

Yeah can't say I've taken pictures in a bathroom, but maybe I should resolve to do so.

Jessica said...

You have every right to feel wronged! Those slippers suck!

Oh, and hell yeah I've taken some crazy bathroom shots!

Miss Ash said...

WIGSF, I kinda care LOL.

Wiwille, you should try it sometime it's fun.

JF, Wiwille could learn a thing or two from us haha!

So does your Mom think you are 80?? That is about the only explanation for those slippers that I will accept.

i haven't worn slippers in years, but every now and again, my mum insists on buying me some...thankfully this year she got me a jumper instead

We played some cranium on christmas eve, the boys lost against the girls (they had 4 and we had 3 - that is our excuse).

You must have taken off your shades when you took those pictures (see my blog).

Moms, they try so hard to find presents they think we will like... but most of the time it falls flat.

Happy New Year!

Tokyo Tintin said...

Miss Ash said...

Scott, that's what we said.

PX what's a jumper?

BB "borrowing" pics again to make it look like you have friends I see haha!

SS I agree, every year I laugh and take gifts back. Happy New Year!

TT, agreed!
