Out with the old, in with the new!

First of all, happy new year's eve, everyone! It's hard to believe this is the last day of 2012. It has been a great year! 

Yesterday my husband went to a casino overnight with some guy friends, so I had the afternoon and night all by myself. I was feeling well enough to go on a run. I wasn't sure how long I should go, so I decided on an easy 2 miles. It felt so good to get back outside and run a bit! I did a different route, and it was refreshing to switch it up a bit. Plus, I finally was able to try out my new  Garmin! I am having trouble figuring it all out- that thing is confusing! 


 When I got home, I considered going for another mile or two, but decided not to push it. I'm glad I stopped, because after I got out of the shower, my chest was hurting pretty badly and I couldn't stop coughing. :( womp womp. 

I got ready and went to see Les Miserables with my mom. 
very poor quality photo, sorry! 
The movie was decent, which I wasn't expecing. We did the musical in High school, so I have been familiar with it for a long time. When I heard who was going to be in the movie, I didn't have high hopes. Russell Crowe? Anne Hathaway? Amanda Seyfried?! COME ON! Anne Hathaway was actually Okay- but Russell Crowe was awful. Amanda Seyfried wasn't horrible, but wasn't great either. Anne Hathaway surprised me. Overall it was a pretty decent movie, and didn't ruin the show, which I was concerned about. 

After I got home, I watched a few TV movies with my dog, and texted my husband about how he was doing at the casino. Then I got this message:


Um, NICE! He won almost right away and didn't play anything else the entire night! That's some self control. He had a wonderful time with his friends, and I'm glad he could go and spend some time wtih them. It is amazing how much I missed him just for one night, though! I actually was a little scared at night, and ended up staying up past three in the morning. OOPS! :)

What can I say? Love this guy. 
 We can't decide what we want to do tonight to celebrate New Year's Eve. We've had lots of offers to go to parties, but we were both up VERY late last night. We have talked about just staying in. We'll see what happens!

What are your plans for tonight? Are you going somewhere or staying in?

  1. We didn't do anything for New Years. Just stayed home. :) I loved Les Mis!!! It was pretty new to me... saw a rendition of it in high school, but had a hard time hearing the students and got lost in the plot line at the time. I thought Hugh Jackman was incredible!!! Touching story!!! I'm thinking about a GPS, you'll have to update us on the Garmin. What is the farthest you've ever run? Mine is 5 miles. Training for a 10K this month. :)
