Hey, 2006.

[owlbeer]

My New Year's Eve was very relaxed. It wasn't exactly what the four of us had originally planned but it worked out pretty well and there were really good vodka slushies. (Frozen boysenberries, orange juice and vodka, mmm).

Happy New Year, flist! Hope you all have a wonderful 2006!
