Happy New Year!!
January 2nd, 2009Well, for my New Year’s gift, I got my weight down to 149!! My goal was 150. Also, I got into a size jr8 without forcing the zipper! After my long awaited shower – (sidenote – we are snowed in out here in the “Lost Land” and do not have water most of the time, so showers are few and too far between, laundry is backing up, toilets are flushed less often and the garbage truck and propane truck can’t get here, either) – my husband (who is rarely home from the road on New Year’s Eve) and my friend, N, went out for dinner, dancing and a few drinks. The restrurant we picked, Black Barts Steakhouse and Saloon, has a dinner show… comprised of NAU acting students. The night’s show was songs from many diff composers. Most of the singers were not bad, the meal was OK and then we left there to go find some fun! (You guessed that I was not impressed with show tunes? right!) We went to The Museum Club in Flagstaff aka “The Zoo”- established 1931 – I have lived here for 8 yrs and have managed to avoid the place. It was cool inside with many antique items but it is an established country western place. I may make many enemies by stating this – but I am just so not into country music! If it’s not rock and roll of any era, it is just not fun music to me. The band “Redneck” (N, try not to drool on your keyboard?LOL!) was on that night. Not a bad band… they even played 2 real rock and roll songs! The part of the night that intrigued me the most, though, was all of the single people looking for single people. And the guys! Tight pants and cowboy hats! everywhere! I found this hilarious because if they were REAL cowboys, they could NEVER even get on a horse in those pants – you could count the change in their pockets! Here we all are at Black Bart’s- sorry that the flash did not go off….
And to make the year so VERY exciting for me…. my kitty has been missing for 2 weeks. I thought she became some creature’s late night snack. She showed up last night skinny but in good shape. I think she must have gotten caught inside some hideout of hers when we got those 2 bad snow storms and that the snow melted enough yesterday for her to get out. I have really missed her company.
I think she missed me too! 
So, Happy New Year to all!

even Santa is wearing Mardi Gras beads. Must have been SOME party!
I am not a Country music fan, either, but Rock & Roll would not exist without Country because that is what they mixed with Rhythm & Blues to make the magical elixyr called Rock.
Glad your New Year went well!

I am missing Flagstaff! Black Barts is fun and so is The Museum Club, why didn’t you take some photos of the singles looking for other singles? Those are always good for a laugh!
Next time have someone pose for you like near the unsuspecting subject you want to photograph and then take a photo aiming at your posing person but really only photograph your unsuspecting person in close up mode… Ha, Flagstaff outings were so much odd fun!

@Talina – T- by the time we got to the Museum Club…. I left the camera in the truck. I had too many Grand Marniers to be able to use the camera properly… and I would have been a pest at the bar because I would not have had to “ambush” people – I am not shy, even sober! LOL
