In what has become our New Year's tradition, Vogon and I dressed up and took photos of ourselves ringing in the New Year. He's in his tuxedo; I'm in a blue velvet gown we scored at Frederick's summer clearance sale.
First, he licked my cheek "for a photo we can laugh at when we're 80":
Then we toasted the new year with flutes of champagne:
And a kiss for good luck (and I closed my eyes this time, pthhbt):
For our first lunch of the new year, Vogon made his wonderful filet mignon [recipe]:

Happy new year!
And now I'm hungry for filet. :-(
Happy New year to you and yours!
Come on over, we've got leftovers. (:
And SEXY!
You guys make an intriguing couple. How did you meet?
On LJ, of course. Our first comment exchange has long since been lost, but we're pretty sure it was in a parenting or vegetarian community. (I'm not vegetarian, just veg-friendly; he eats much less meat than I do. Har har.)
How cool. Does he have kids, too? He sure seems dedictaed to you and Laurel.
Vogon has a teenage daughter that we call 'nerdsprout' in our journals. She is currently living with her grandparents in Colorado.
He considers Laurel his daughter (and he's the only father figure in her life, so I don't have a problem with it) and she calls him Daddy. I'm just happy to be here. (:
If the women on the side of the family whose build mine is most like are an indicator, my metabolism will slow way down around 30 or after 2-3 kids. One of my New Year's resolutions is to join a gym with Vogon so the habit of exercising regularly is in place before I get there.
happy new year!
