So, not only has it been over a month since I posted, it's also been TWO HOLIDAYS since the last time I added my two cents! lol
So, with Christmas being over, it feels like a weight has been lifted.. All the anticpation over "will they like the gifts I got", will dinner go ok, just made my holiday such a buzz kill..
The kids LOVED their gifts.. Every single one of them, thankfully! Rob was a big fan of MOST of his gifts.. He wasn't a fan of the style of "lumbar pack" I got him, but I made up for it, in my mind, by getting him a GPS and certain DVD.. :)
Now that the tree is taken down, the decorations have been turned off and mostly packed away, I can concentrate on New Years Eve.. Since my BFF and family are coming over to celebrate it with my family, I know we'll have fun.. Some times the hubbys fall alseep on the counch and love seat, but they always get woken up for the midnight kiss and toast.. I love having that special someone by my side to kiss on NYE... It makes me feel blessed.. THEN, to share it with my BFF and her fam.. It's always priceless..
This year we're gonna try to go simple.. Chicken Wing dip, boxed mint brownie mix, and some salsa (thanks Jill) are topping the menu.. Plus, we're making speghetti with meat sauce (sausage), which is cheap and easy. So, we won't be stressing up a storm in the kitchen. The bar may or may not be grovin', we'll have to play that one by ear.. Wink Wink... I do have intentions on drinking some Espresso Martini's or Mint Baileys on the rocks, though, as they're my staple beverage of choice.... I just don't have a ton of either, so it will have to be drunk sparingly.. If there is such a thing..
I'm sure Rob will find solice in his Jack n Pepsi's and Jay with his beer, in hopes that Dick Clark won't do too bad, this year.. lol... I rhymed! I know I'm a dork!
So, here's to a great, love filled, and safe, New Year!
