looking to 2005

i'm sitting here in the house alone after spending the last two days cleaning for our little party tonight. living in nyc, the house gets pretty dirty, pretty quick.
kpr and champ went out to get the last of the supplies for the party and i'm hoping they will come back with a bottle of that sparkling apple cider, as his cousin is pregnant and i wanted to have a little more than ginger ale for her to toast with at midnight.
i've actually enjoyed preparing for tonight- we've turned the music up really loud and i stop what i'm doing every once and a while for a dance break with champ. he loves to put his front paws around your neck and boogie.
it's funny, when kpr and i clean, we make a general list of what needs to be done and then go about our own thing and eventually check over each other's progress- getting those missed spots and dusty nooks and crannies. the house is sparkling now and i'm about to get up and prepare 7 layer dip and put stuff together for the brie with cranberry chutney. My friend kelly made this for our last girls night and it was delicious. mmmmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

happy new year everyone- here's to a fabulous 2005!
