It’s a New Year

already.      I’m still having trouble letting go of summer, and realizing winter is here, let alone realizing it’s a new year.   

We spent part of NYE watching fireworks downtown (photos here), in the company of friends and munching down a few curried chicken dishes.   It’s an interesting part of town.  I imagined Omaha back in the early 1900’s, perhaps earlier, and the buildings that would have been around at that time.    It is amazing architecture, really.     It was the perfect place to see fireworks from.

Later, we went to House of Hunan, which I think is a great chinese restaurant.    We brought lots of leftovers home and had them the next day for lunch (after adding a few more red peppers).   I don’t think HoH takes us seriously when we say we like our food spicey.   🙂   Next time, we’ll just ask them to make it really spicey. 

Back to work Monday.    Always fun after having a week off.    I’ll be searching for my next week off soon!  🙂

Happy New Year!
