Good Bye 2013, Hello 2014 :)

I hope everyone had a fabulous NYE! This year, as we always do, we got some friends together and headed down to Metro. It was a cold rainy night so we weren't able to carry out our original plans of watching the fireworks on the river and then going downtown, Metro ended up being a good plan B. Jason and I actually MADE money going there instead of spending it. More on that below haha

Here's a pic of what I wore. The cropped top and skirt were from F21

 My girls, Alyssa and Ashley

 Every NYE they have $1000 balloon drop. All this time I thought that meant that there was a 1 - $1000 ticket in one of the balloons. Turns out, it was broken into smaller amounts and the balloons are spread out over 3 rooms. The picture bellow was right when the clock struck 12, balloons and confetti quickly followed. 

 My first year to find one of the vouchers, which of course had me go on a wild goose chase to find more! I found 3 in all totaling $150. Jason, not to be out done, went looking for some too and found 2 totaling $100. One of the guys we were with found one for $100. I wonder what the highest denomination ticket they had...

 RumChatta shots, these are seriously the best! It tastes like sweet milk with cinnamon. 

How did you celebrate bringing in the New Year?

Halloweenie Twenty13

So this year I dressed up as a belly dancer. It actually a costume I got about 8 years ago. I came with pants, but I got a pair of boy cut undies, painted them purple and was good to go. I was going to a club after all where some of the people didn't have anything but body paint on, so considering that I was pretty conservative lol. 

My friend Sarah on the left dressed as a genie and my other friend Alyssa was a bartender at the event and dressed as a school girl. 

 We met up with a couple of other friends. A ninja, Chucky and Bride of Chucky

 I got Jason to dress up this year. He wouldn't go as an arab or sultan like I wanted, but he went as a Spartan :)

 My friend Heather went as Robin Thicke and her husband went as Miley. I wish I would have got a pic of her husband, it was hilarious.

 I love how Danny photobombed my pic, looks like he's saying "ruuuuun!" haha

 We went to Hells Gala this year which was way better than metro, they had an awesome light show and performers. 

  I've been friends with lyndi for about 19 years now, she NEVER goes to clubs. She recently lost a good bit of weight and wanted to celebrate in her bunny costume :)

 All the above pics took place the Saturday night before Halloween. For Halloween we had all these full size candy bars to give out. Word got out fast that we had the good stuff. Especially when one kid screamed, "I got a full bag of skittles!", kids literally crossed the street at that exact moment lol. I was wipped out in about 10 minutes. 

What did you guys do for Halloween? Any parties?

It's T-shirt Tiiiiiime! - Pauly D

I had no intentions on going to see Pauly D that night, but a few friends who were going talked me into it. I used to love watching Jersey Shore (except the last season, it sucked and I didn't watch it). So I figured what the hell and we went. The event started for 9pm, but he didn't take the stage till 1am! WTF? I was aggravated, but thankfully we didn't actually show up till 12:00 b/c one of the clubs we frequent had customer appreciation night and there was an open bar. Sweeet!! 

Aaaand then stuff like this happened, um yeah. I think I was either having a convo with my margarita or trying to strangle it lol

Emi and Liz are 2 girls I work with who "talked" me into going

My girl Ashley

watch: ebay. necklace: dillards. chain bracelet: my own seen here

Overall I had a great time, but mainly because of the company I was with. I really think Pauly D is famous because of his name, because there really wasn't anything special about his spinning skills. I didn't hear any new remixes or beats that I haven't already heard before. There are local DJ's who are much better in my opinion. It was fun just watching someone in person that I saw on tv though. 

What do you guys think of Pauly D, ever been to one of his shows?

Oh Hey Saints Payers!

Ah yes, it feels good to go out again, hang with friends and do a little dancing. I work every Saturday so by the time I get off I'm tired and just want to stay home and watch a movie. Since I only worked half a day this past Saturday I though I would got out for a bit. 

My girl, Jessica

Alice in Wonderland shots. If you haven't had 'em your missing out! It's 1 part Southern Comfort, 1 part Amaretto and 1 part Grand Marnier. Whatever you do, don't have more than 2! It sneaks up on you.

The boys 

Gotta get that classy bathroom shot lol

Pics with New Orleans Saints players! So awesome cause I'm a huge fan, especially of the Saints. They had a VIP section 5 feet away from us. Chris Ivory is on the left, unfortunately he got traded. The Saints are retarded for not keeping him. He's a beast on the field and plays with so much heart. I told him that too that night. Unfortunately, I don't know who the guy on the right is =(. 

Do any of you watch football? Have you ever met any of the guys from your team?

Made in America...Not me, the Beer

A couple weekends ago we got invited by my husband's friend to go to the Budwieser Made in America Party. They had the rapper/dj Too Fresh spinning that night and had free food and drinks as well. Unfortunatly the free drinks was beer only. I couldn't even buy a mixed drink because they weren't allowed to serve it. I can say it was one of the first times I've ever left a club completely sober lol. 

Me and my honey 

This chair was so cool looking that I had to have a pic on it. It was black velvet and had these large crystal buttons on it. I would love it for my house.  

They gave out these Ray Ban type sunglasses if you showed the Budwieser girls your tweet tagging the party.  I peeled off the stickers after the event and use the sunglasses now. 

This was taken on the way to the car.
