New Year's Havoc

A couple girlfriends came over early New Year's Eve to set up decorations in my apt. They did an awesome job, there were balloons and stringers everywhere and the leftover Christmas lights added a nice touch. My ridiculous roommate was moving out that day and still had friends over for a little pre-party, even though she wasn't staying there that night, so they left us a nice mess to clean up. Grrr. About 15 of us went to have dinner at Le Zoccole on Ave A around 8:30pm, very tasty. Koko the waitress said she might stop by our party later. We went back to my apt, put on some tunes, turned on the Times Sq ball-dropping-countdown thing, and opened the bottles. The temperature was in the 50's, like spring! Countdown happened and all the girls started dancing. About 3am, we went around the corner to another friend's place and everyone was all crunk and a bunch of dancin' fools. I partied too hardy and had to go home, the early bird, at 5am. Everyone else went home around 6:30am. My friend Brooke stayed over to help clean up the next day. I got up around noon and she already had finished the entire downstairs, mopped and everything. What a woman. So we took our showers and went for brunch at Cocina Latina and had some lip-smackin' beans and rice and eggs and chipotle sauce and whatnot. I layed around the rest of the day and then watched my Longhorns win the friggin' Rose Bowl in the final 2 seconds on a field goal.
