NYE Party

Thank you everyone for all of the nice comments and the support after my first post yesterday! I think I’m gonna like this blogging thing. I wanted to share some pictures from the party I attended on New Year’s Eve at Balthazar, hosted by the ever stylish, WendyB (and of course, Mr. B!). I admit, I was having a seriously lazy day spent mostly on my couch and I didn’t start getting ready until a couple of hours before the bash began. Everyone knows a girl must allow at least four hours of prep time for such an event! So, I had to skip the false eyelashes and the manicure.

The evening was a big success and I felt so lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. And the food was deee-lish. I considered scarfing down Zang Toi’s untouched entrée of Daurade and veggies since he had to scoot off to another soiree, but I behaved myself.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am certainly anxious to put 2009 behind me. I welcomed 2010 with affection – and with some seriously loud noise makers. Balthazar drew in a strange crowd this time and it seemed as though we were set up in close proximity (way too close) to a table of loud Australians. I have no idea if they were, in fact, from Australia. I guess I’m just stereotyping. Hmmm, I should add that to my list of New Year’s resolutions – no stereotyping.

Resolution number two: I must promise to follow the “one glass of water to one glass of Champagne” rule. I would never resolve to drink less Champagne!
