new year, new beginnings

I did not go to any parties during New Year's eve. It was okay. Being at home was fine. My stomach was still full and I still had fun with my family. Plus the view from our street was cool. Love seeing those fireworks! I'm glad I did not spend the beginning of 2005 at work. Wish I had better pics to show but I hope these would suffice.
