A Nora Ephron New Year's Eve

As soon as I walked in the door from work yesterday afternoon, I gracefully popped open a bottle of champagne and took a shower. I sipped on the bubbles as I carefully applied silver eyeshadow and sparkly makeup. I braided my hair in its signature style and put on a pair of glitzy earrings.

Then, I changed into my comfiest pajamas and curled up on the sofa because this New Year's Eve?

I was not leaving the house.

Instead, I cooked some of my favorite stir-fry for dinner, poured myself another glass (or two) of champagne, and watched two of my favorite movies- Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally.

So not only was it to be a cozy NYE but one filled with Nora Ephron's wit and Meg Ryan's amazing 1980s (and early 1990s) hair.

Kenny (Often thought of as one of my most favorite people in the world but more commonly referred to as my friend) called around 11, and we talked for hours.

"I feel like this is us! You're Harry, and I'm Sally," I said excitedly before pausing thoughtfully. "Except I'm not as choosy of an eater as Sally, and you definitely don't have Harry's same faults."

Kenny mostly agreed.

We wished each other a happy new year at midnight and talked about what we hoped to accomplish in 2014.

By the time we finally hung up, it was 4AM!

While long phone conversations are the norm for us, a 5 hour conversation was definitely a new record.

As I plugged my phone in to charge and drifted off to sleep, I couldn't remember a time I felt happier or more content.

It was a perfect New Year's Eve and undoubtedly one enjoyed in true Nora Ephron fashion.
