and a happy new year!

i hadn't planned on doing anything for New Year's. let's face it, nothing can top last year's and i generally think NY's is way overrated. but then i was invited to a small party at a friend's place so off i went. and it was really nice. a small bunch of people, lots of food, amazing home-made macaroons (they really were to die for!) and a midnight set of fireworks on the lake. although i'm not a big fan of the latter, it was pretty cool.
