NYE 2009 in Vancouver

Dilemmas, dilemmas….

So I have an invite to Loden’s Fashionista NYE 2009.  The event boasts canapes and world famous DJ’s to entice those who want a different more East Coast experience to ring in the New Year. Here is a link through a Vancouver original, Demicouture.ca’s site.

Then there is the “My mom is alone at home and I might need to hang with her” plan.  Unless she plans to pick my brother up form the airport at 11pm from his Maui flight which is with Westjet, which means it will be late and they’ll be ringing in the NYE at YVR.

Or there might be a  few hours parties, but I’ll be the only one there as a singleton and I fear I might throw myself off a balcony if I have too much champagne.

Or there is Vegas.  My BFF who is amazing and a sweetheart has invited me for NYE, but I would literally spend 24 hours in Vegas and have to be on a flight out at 7am on New Year’s Day. Yuck!

So any suggestions?

A Woman of Substance

In Stuff, quotes on December 27, 2008 at 5:37 pm

“This is the day you stare down every naysayer in your life who doesn’t get it yet.  Because you do.  Finally. And now you know faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Sarah Ban Breathnack.

This year was as ever exciting as the family gathered for the holidays. Mark went to Maui with his girlfriend’s family and Kristi and Geoff stayed in Singapore with Zach.  Mom, Dad and I had a small, quiet 24th and then our cousins came for a dinner on the 25th. I can’t believe how much food we consumed.  Seriously, I feel ill.  But overall, the festivities were great, I’m glad it’s over and I am ready to wrap this year up in a bow and send it off, give her a great big send off and welcome in the New Year that in my heart of hearts know IS my year.  Why?  Because years of hard work have started showing signs of payoff already and great people have come into my life and continue to show up to guide me when I most need them. Because events happened last year (as painful and hard as they were) that had to happen for me to arrive here. It had to happen, there is no other explanation except that I know it’s all part of that bigger plan. I am comfortable with it and I know that all is well.  Life is good.

Does anybody know if the strength of IC is the same as a cup of espresso?  I think I’m overdoesing a bit on this freeze-dried stuff.  Yumm-o!
