The biggest losers of 2013 are…
\nThe Hubby and I!!!
\nWe had full intentions of making New Years 2013 epic. Hired a babysitter. Made reservations downtown. Picked out a hot little number<\/a>. Arranged for transportation home. The whole shebang.
\nAnd then… the flu ravaged the home of our friends. Total bummer, but understandable for the cancellation.
\nWe decided to keep the babysitter coming and to still dress up and have a good time. But then the thought of driving around downtown looking for a parking spot didn’t sound very fun, especially while starving, so we went to a restaurant near our home which turned out to be very good. Plus, a random guy at the door told us to say the word “gams” which brought us each a free glass of champagne. No idea why, but we said it and it worked.
\nGams. What is a gam?

\nWhile at dinner The Hubby and I decided it also seemed rather annoying to fight the young folk downtown for a drink. (Does this date us?) Instead, hitting up the mall seemed like a much better idea! So, we drove out to the valley mall only discover that EVERYTHING is closed on New Years Eve. Everything.
\nWe then stopped for dessert. And it was SO good. This is when we decided a movie would be fun to go to and we researched what was playing in the theaters from our phones.
\nNothing. We couldn’t find one movie that looked worthy of waiting up for.

\nAnd this is the moment we became the biggest losers of 2013.
\nYou know where we spent most of New Years Eve??
\nFRED MEYER!
\nYeah, you read that correctly!
\n 
\n\"securedownload\"<\/a>
\nIf you don’t know what a Fred Meyer is, it’s basically a suped-up grocery\/home store.
\nWe had never been in one before and while driving noticed it was open and decided to check it out. It was incredible! You can buy an avocado and a big screen all in one clean store And look at all these cute baskets I had to convince myself not to buy!
\n\"securedownload<\/a>
\n 
\nYep, no matter how many exclamation points I use it is still lame. I know this.
\nWe did end up perusing for over an hour, though! (!!!)
\nIt was just kind-of nice to browse a store (kidless) and not have to rush. No real agenda. Nowhere we had to be. (Clearly.) And we took our time.
\nThis is what we came home with (by 10:00 pm, btw). And all of these things were on sale, too. Well, except the choo choo. Cal is obsessed with choo choos and I can’t resist. And the birthday cards. But everything else! Go ahead and call me a Fred Meyer fan.
\n\"securedownload<\/a>So there you have it. Our New Years 2013 recap. I will say, though, it sure does beat a few previous years when I spent midnight with my head in a toilet!
\nYep, still losers.
\nHere’s to being a (well-rested and non-puking!) loser! What did you do? Stay in or go out?
\nThanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
