It's the first Friday of 2020! Which reminds me that when I was in grade school my Friday nights usually consisted of watching TGIF on ABC, followed by 20/20! I know you've seen all the memes of Barbara Walters saying "This is 2020" and if you haven't, you've obviously been under a rock since Wednesday around 12:01 AM!
One. Last Sunset of 2019 - Nothing too long or poetic about my first point on the list, just a couple really lovely pictures that my younger sister snapped from the front porch of the B&B where we celebrated ringing in the New Year.
It was only after she'd shared them with me that I got all "feely" about the pictures and realized that they aren't just the final sunset of 2019, but the final sunset of a decade! It's a lot to wrap your mind around if you think on it too much - so instead, just take in the beautiful sunset snaps!
Two. New Year's Eve Celebrations - My younger sister and I spent New Year's Eve at L'Auberge Provencale, a local (it's less than five miles from my house) B&B with a Four Diamond Restaurant. It's the same place my boss treated the office to dinner for our Christmas party and after one meal, I knew my sister would love it and posed the idea that we have dinner there on New Year's Eve!
Lindsey took my idea a step farther and booked us a room at the B&B for the night to really make things fun! So around 5:00 on Tuesday evening, we drove the whole five minutes down the road and checked in to enjoy the final evening of 2019!
We did the four course meal prepared especially for New Year's Eve - I chose to start with the Burrata, which is an insanely delicious and rich Mozzarella cheese! It was absolutely divine! *mouth waters* My second course was Celery Bisque and when I initially ordered it, I figured it was the option (out of three choices) that I'd be most likely to eat - y'all - it was HEAVENLY! My favorite thing I ate all night... maybe!
My third course was the Ayrshire Farm Chicken with Risotto and it was just as tasty as the first time I had it... I'd planned to try the Short Ribs but they were no longer an option! My dessert course was something in French that I could not pronounce, but it translated to Eggs in the Snow and was it was so divinely unique and yummy! It was vanilla custard and lemon and I do believe the "eggs" were made from some sort of fabulous meringue - it was just so very yummy and I'm glad I chose it for my dessert.
I had a cocktail with my dinner called French Lullaby and it's almost the best cocktail I've ever had... almost. The best cocktail was a Sloe Gin Fizz that I had at a Gin Pub on Fleet Street in London! But this one was a close second - it was just... so very tasty! After our meal was finished, we popped over to the bar and grabbed one more cocktail: Sex on the Beach - and then we headed back to our room to pass the couple hours until the New Year!
Three. Watson - I figured that everyone needed to see a really cute picture of Watson since I didn't get one posted on the first day of the New Year, which would have also been Watson Wednesday!
He got his snuggly new bed for Christmas from my parents and I think it's safe to say that he's 100% in love with the thing! He has curled up in it almost constantly since it was placed on the floor in front of him!
Four. A Few Laughs - Of course I have to share some funny memes... mostly because I like sharing things that make me laugh but also because I don't actually have that much to share on this first Friday of the year!
Doesn't everyone feel like that the week between Christmas and New Years? It's like - I don't even know what day it is, half the time I'm clueless to where the clock is or what I should be doing... I am just all over the place as a person during that week!
The Baby Yoda meme made me smile! I wish I'd been that way on New Year's Eve - but once I got in the bed, I just flipped and flopped all over the place! I was in desperate need of a nap on the first day of January!
My sister turned me on to the Strange Planet comics and I have become a huge fan! This one hits the nail on the head because I'm pretty sure that my dog would pick food over me any day of the week!
Five. Weekend Things - It's the first weekend of 2020 and I have absolutely zero plans! I mean; I suppose there are things I plan to do, but nothing that involves actually being anywhere or doing anything at a set time! I'd like to purge my closet of a few things, clean out a couple of my dresser drawers and such... And at some point I need to finish the final two episodes of Mr. Robot. I know - it all sounds terribly thrilling!
