i'm full of vim and vinegar that this year will be different - this year will be better. it's not that 2015 was terrible, but it passed too quickly and without reflection, without direction. i reacted more than i instigated. i felt depleted and didn't 'do' dunn-dufault day, the advent calendar, and lots of other things that just fell to the wayside without my effort. maybe i wanted family members to realize how much work i do, or maybe i wanted family members to take ownership of these celebrations. whatever. the year was a (non-documented) failure in family memories. well, this is pepper's last year of pre-adulthood. i'm getting back in the driver's seat.
that said, i did drive our new year's celebrations: a night of pina coladas, 'pub' food (all apps like wings, fries, spring rolls, mini-quiche, sausage rolls, bruschetta, fancy olives, pinwheels) and bad, bad movies (on purpose)
we watched 'Attack of the 3-Headed Shark', the original 'Reefer Madness', 'Sharknado', 'Mommie Dearest', 'Pootie Tang' clips, and finished with the remake of 'Reefer Madness'.
