"Happy 2010! I hope your year is off to a great start! Mine is&amp;amp;#8212;or at least that&amp;amp;#8217;s what I&amp;amp;#8217;m telling myself.I got lucky twice on New Year&amp;amp;#8217;s Eve day, but not in the way you&amp;amp;#8217;re thinking. Oh, no. Even better. After searching far and wide, my sister and I found the last Wii Rock Band in all of San Diego County&amp;amp;#8212;and it was sitting in a store 5 miles from our house! Then when we took it to my sister&amp;amp;#8217;s car, guess what I found in the parking lot? Two hundred-dollar bills! What luck! Happy Birthday, Bryna! That afternoon, I went to see my friend Bryna, who was home from New Zealand and celebrating her 30th birthday. There were a couple of guys there that I hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t seen since high school, and I was shocked to learn they were both married (but not to each other). To me, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a given when a girl my age is married, but to find out that the boys have settled down, too&amp;amp;#8212;well, that&amp;amp;#8217;s a wake-up call! One even had a baby! Anyway, since my sister was in town and we had just bought Beatles Rock Band, I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t possibly do anything but go home, stay in that night, drink with my family, and play Wii. I had a blast and didn&amp;amp;#8217;t care that I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t out carousing with crazy people, driving on the freeway next to a bunch of DUI potentials, and freezing my butt off in a dress and painful heels. This year, it wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t just me wearing sweats and drinking champagne from my parents&amp;amp;#8217; crystal. Many of my single friends, from L.A. to Delaware, spent their New Year&amp;amp;#8217;s Eve at home, some of them drinking alone and passing out at 11:30 p.m. (you know who you are&amp;amp;#8212;ain&amp;amp;#8217;t no shame!). Of course, I&amp;amp;#8217;m not going to meet anyone if I&amp;amp;#8217;m sitting at home, pretending I&amp;amp;#8217;m a gamer and playing in a band with my parents, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s not like I do this every day. I&amp;amp;#8217;m leaving the Wii in San Diego, anyway. At least I had fun with my family. And it turns out, my mom is pretty good at the drums&amp;amp;#8212;too cute! Did you go out or stay in? Did you get a kiss?? P.S. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re feeling bummed about being in the office today, just remember, tonight is The Bachelor!!! Life is good!!
