Hello, hello, hello!! I wanted to get in one last update before the year is over and wow, I sure am getting down to the nitty gritty here! It’s 11:01PM EST — 2009 is almost here on the East coast!! 
We were planning on going to our apartment in PA but the weather was crappy when we woke up! 
We had 6 inches of snow overnight and then we were running late, so by 6:00PM we decided to just wait until tomorrow or Friday and head there for the weekend. So tonight we’re staying in, watching the ball drop and sipping on some cocktails and beer. This is the cranberry juice and vodka hubby made for me:
He said it’s like 12 parts juice and 1 part vodka 
— PERFECT! I love vodka and cranberry juice because you can’t taste the vodka at all, which is great because I cannot stand the smell/taste of alcohol — Blek!! and then we’re cracking open a bottle of champagne in a little while, but first, a quick update!
We tried the ravioli and white wine sauce that was part of the gift basket my cousin gave us last night. OMG, sooo good! I wasn’t counting calories, of course, but I had 2 servings (440 cal) with just a very little bit of the white wine sauce being the first ingredient was fresh heavy cream. I also made a side salad with whatever I could find in the fridge; shrimp, Jarlsberg swiss cheese, avocado, Bolthouse Farms blue cheese yogurt dressing — it was ok. I think because the shrimp and avocado were past their prime. The ravioli made up for it though!
We had a little red grape juice to go along with our meal. Classy, huh? LOL Welch’s 2008, a good year, indeed!! 
These were delivered to me today from my mommy:
Love the color!! They are HUGE! I can’t wait to use them. They are so pretty and cool looking. I <3 dishes! Thanks, ma. 
My set of Calphalon pots and pans that she ordered for me came a couple days ago, too. I haven’t even taken them out of the box yet but I know they are awesome. I’m so excited! I’ll try to do all these neat kitchen supplies justice by filling them with yummy foods in the near future! 
I was picking up some last minute things at the store today thinking that we were heading to Penn and I came across these in the cereal/snack bar aisle:
Only 120 calories each and no fractionated or hydrogenated oils. The ingredients list actually looks very wholesome, which you have to be careful with even though they are made by Kashi. Even Kashi sneaks in a few bad things like fractionated oil, but not these, YAY! The answer to my Luna bar prayers. Luna bars have palm kernel oil in them, which isn’t very good for you, but I’ll tolerate a little in moderation. I was psyched when I saw these and the flavor sounds YUMMMMMMMY! Can’t wait to bite them. hehe
Ok, it’s almost midnight! I hope everyone is having a fun and SAFE New Year’s Eve! My next update won’t be until next year. *giggles*
I’ll be back sooooooooon~! 
I’m going to have some champagne now. WOO HOO!
