Wow, in your area that had to be a good sign!
I was so nervous I forgot to watch the Rangers game Sat. DH and I were to do the roasting together, BUT he got toned out and left me with microphone duties. Intros and the roasting were all mine. OMG...I just dug in and got started...it went ok, surprisingly well, in fact. There were only about 45 people there, but still...I was nervous till it was OVER.
