And more bubbles than were probably necessary. But what a fun last few weeks it was. Let’s just review, shall we?

My friend Mel and her hubby Billy threw one of the best Christmas parties/Mel’s birthday party that I have ever been to. Prior to the party, Melissa and I had dinner at Lago and caught up with Jason before he headed off to Utah to do big things. We ate, we drank and we danced our booties off.

Happy Birthday Mel!

During my “staycation” over the last two weeks, I was able to relax, catch up on things around my house and hang out with plenty of friends. Not to mention, I had a guest come to The CLE for New Year’s Eve.

Christmas. Catching my friend Anna on Fox8 talking about her juice cleanse. Cavs with Melissa. Dinner at Hodge’s pre-movie with Chris.

To stay our group of friends know how to bring in a New Year is an understatement. With dinner at Fahrenheit (thanks Chef Rocco for a wonderful evening), we started the snowy night off in Tremont listening to fantastic music and having great conversations. Post-dinner, it was off to Lago to ring in 2014 with Fabio and his team at a Great Gatsby style soiree.

Some of my favorites: Chef Rocco, Chef Anna, Fabio and Nicole

Cheers to 2014!

And now it’s back to work, a routine and a schedule. While I loved my staycation, I need a routine. Plus it’s going to be an exciting couple of months – work travel, the ADDYs, The Hunger Network All in the Bag Fashion Show and more…

How did you bring in the New Year?
