Our observance of the new year was pretty uneventful. We watched the ball fall in NYC (an hour ahead for us) and after that Eric decided he'd had enough reveling, and went to bed. I stayed up to watch the tv coverage of the Moon Pie dropping in Mobile, and fell asleep right after.

We did manage to include a glass of the bubbly in our celebration, of course! And there is some leftover for mimosas....score!

I got up and went to church on New Years Day. What a nice way to kick off the new year! When I got home we went to Eric's grandma's house for some black eyed peas and collard greens (among other things). I am not a fan of either, but I ate some of each for luck and prosperity in the new year. Being a southern transplant, the collards are a new New Years tradition for me. My family always eats corned beef and cabbage for New Years. I bought a slab of corned beef to cook for dinner, but I ended up doing a little shopping Sunday afternoon and did not get home in time to cook it. Lucky for me the deer are in rut right now so Eric is off trying to get a new decoration for the wall, so he was not waiting for me to cook. I did stop to pick up a packet of corned beef lunch meat and made myself a reuben sandwich for dinner to get my corned beef and cabbage.
