I just missed you. I have a party tomorrow evening and supposed to bring an appetizer and a dessert. I am punting, I think I will make a shrimp cocktail (large shrimp is on sale for $2.99 a pound.) My sil is making chili verde, so I will make guacamole and chips (avocados are also on sale.) For dessert I thought a fruit and cheese platter would be nice. I have some Brie, I will buy some Havarti (my sister-in-law loves that), some Gorgonzola, pepper jack, and colby jack. I leave work at 3:00 pm to drive to Ogden, traffic can be horrific that way on Friday afternoon. I really punted for this party, I wanted to make some fancy hovers dovers (also known as hors d'oeuvres.) It just didn't work out this week. Maybe I'll feel like cooking on New Year's Eve day. I'm thinking of going down and watching football games with my dad. Great fun, he controls the remote and we watch 19 games all at once. :)
I'm still hanging around. I did drink a caffeinated soda after 3 pm today. Got rid of my headache though.
Utah beat Georgia Tech this evening, 38-10. No one gave them any chance to win, it was fun to watch them dismantle Georgia Tech. I'm not a Utah fan normally (I'm a BYU fan), but the Utes did their team, university, and the state of Utah proud this evening. (Perhaps BYU could learn something from the U about preparing for and actually winning bowl games. They are a miserable 7-22-1 in their bowl games. The Utes have won 5 bowl games in a row.)
I wish I were rich. I would make Russian blini with all sorts of toppings including caviar. Too rich for me this year, but I'm writing it down for next year. I'll start saving my pennies. I gained a taste for caviar during my tour of the USSR in the late eighties. They served it all the time with blini and sour cream. And it was the good caviar with tiny eggs.
So much for attempted sleep. I have been snooping around on the HGTV site.
Blabbity and Crumbs rerun is on. I think I'll switch to the cowbodys.
I'm watching some travel show on the local PBS station. I really need to go to sleep, I want to be at work by 6:30 am so I can leave at 3 pm...
I might as well have gone to sleep at 6:00 pm when I was so sleepy I could hardly keep my eyes open. I'd have had my 7 hrs of sleep in by now.
I hope you can get some rest. It's way to late for me to take Tylenol PM,, I'll be hung over until Noon tomorrow, if I do.
Can you take it. Those who can take it without side effects really like it.
I think Tylenol PM has diphenhydramine (Benadryl) in it. I am really allergic to diphenhydramine, I can watch hives grow on me about 10 minutes after I take one. It's quite ironic because Benadryl is what is given for allergic reactions.
I just need to turn off the computer and go to bed...Good night. :)
G'nite Sweetie. I hope you can get to sleep.
I tell you how much I love holidays.../sarcasm.
Good morning.
Hope people aren't too nutzo in the store today, Dog.
Good morning.
Good morning!
Good morning, all! My granddaughter will sleep late, since she was up until midnight. Grandson was up at 5AM and has had eggs and is playing Playstation. I didn't wake up at 3, because I was up until midnight. LOL!
Good morning, Jane!
After battling a belligerent computer this week, I finally have everything back in order. Yikes!
Good to see ya'all again.
*S* here, but the temps are mild.
Morning...
Good morning.
Sounds like you had a short night.
Good morning.
Computer problems are so frustrating! Glad you're back.
