We have finger foods tonight. Chicken wings, chips and dips, pizza rolls, shrimp, and a couple other things. I will lay them out and let everyone nosh their way through the evening. I have sparkling grape juice to put in fancy glasses for the kids. We will play games, watch the ball drop, and DH bought a bunch of sparklers and pretty colored whirly things to set off.
I have to admit, we've been on the go for two weeks. I might shower and put my pajama's back on!

Today is my mom's last day of work. She is retiring. They had a big luncheon in her honor today at work. I am sure she will be very emotional for a day or two.
She and dad are leaving next week to go out of town for 2 weeks.
I hope you enjoy tonight and your day off tomorrow Blankie.
Hope everyone has a great night and wonderful new year.

DH is happily ensconced on the couch, flipping between all the football games! He already went out and got a couple of bags of ice for our adult beverages, and I'm cooking the heavy hors d'oeuvres for later on. I might also try a couple of candy recipes, and a new cookie recipe from the magazine Tig gave me.
We try to never go out on New Year's Eve now - too many crazy drivers. We used to have a group that would be "taxi cabs" for the local restaurants/bars. They would call on behalf of a patron, and we would pick them up & drive them directly to their home. The next day, they would call when they were ready to pick up their car/truck, and we would drive them back to the restaurant. The restaurants paid for our gas & mileage, and would give us any gratuities the patrons chose to leave. There were always two drivers, one of which was usually a hefty male!
It's thundering out. I really don't wanna leave my house. But I have to. I'll treat myself to chinese since I'm going on the "no more stretchy pants" diet tomorrow.
What kind of diet plan will you use, VOR?
I do well on Atkins but with my kidney issues, my doctor is limiting my proteins. So, I might try the wire my jaw shut diet? Or maybe throw every bit of food out diet? Or maybe I'll just try to stop eating a whole package of oreos at one sitting. Hell, I just don't know but I have to do something.
It's not easy to diet no matter what!! If I lived alone, there are several things I simply would not have in the cupboard, Oreos being one of them. Dad loves his cookies, so there they are... looking at me.... every time I open the cupboard, LOL!
DH loves his Oreos too. I don't like them so no temptation for me. I also don't like candy corn - another of his loves.
However, he's going to lose a hand if he keeps eating the Reese's PB cups since that's one of the few sweets I like and there's plenty of stuff we have that I don't like that he does that he could be eating.
Shopping and laundry are done. Crack dip is in the crockpot. We are in for the night, just a couple of people coming over later.
The grocery store was a madhouse today.

I'm going to need more information here
Buffalo chicken wing dip. Shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, Franks Red Hot, cream cHesse, and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
It tastes just like buffalo wings! We serve it with chips and celery sticks. Everyone loves it.

I feel tired and sick. I need to lay down. I hope I'm not catching something.

I hope you aren't getting sick NJN. Get lots of rest and drink fluids.
My coworker walked around sneezing and not covering his mouth all morning. No one from management was there so I made him leave. Then we went around wiping everything with alcohol.
I just feel exhausted. I don't know why. Kind of achy and I have a headache. I want to sleep and the family wants to do fun stuff. I'm not feeling it today. I feel bad because I need to be more into this.

Home! Just want to cuddle with the pooch, but I promised I would go to a party. I only have one friend, so I feel like I should maintain the relationship, but a warm puppy cuddle? *sigh*
Took a nap. Feeling somewhat better. Still have a nasty stomach.
