We just got back. We'll have to see. The pain meds have him pretty stoned.

I'm making another batch of my Four Bulb Garlic Dip for a do tonight.  I wonder if I should make a small warning sign to post in the bowl.

I'm spending the day doing some light cleaning in the bedrooms and listening to music.  I might run out to pick up a few 2012 calendars, too.

Well, my goodness!  It looks like we need to get our posting frenzy in gear.  It is already less than 12 hours until East Coast New Year, and we are only on page two.

How dirty can the lights in your bedrooms be?

Hi.  This is funny.  I finally have access to a computer & I'm all alone.

Typical of this December, we are having a blah weather day in the Pacific Northwet.  Cloudy, chilly, but dry.  We have had strong winds every night for the last three nights.  Not enough to knock out our power, but strong enough to wake me up.

Good Afternoon!

Brunch at Sidewalk Cafe was lots of fun. Edwina ended up toasting a couple she has been waiting on for a couple of years who are finally getting married next week. She shared her "knowledge" of "The Three Rings of Marriage":

1) The Engagement Ring
2) The Wedding Ring
3) The F*cking Suffer-Ring

;D

It was actually a very sweet toast to the Happy Couple.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day have always been a weird holiday for me.  I have never quite understood the idea of celebrating the end of yet another year in my life.  Sorry, but that has always been the way I have felt.  Even when I used to drink heavily, I didn't enjoy it, because it was always considered amateur drunk night.

Tom - Thanks for asking. I asked my parents the other night about this since I've never been sure exactly which part of the Philippines my relatives live in. Thankfully, no one in our family has been affected by the storms and flooding. The part most of my relatives live in does experience flooding every year during the tsunami season, but it's such a regular occurrence, that it's just a part of life for a couple of weeks each year.

Back from a quick run to Staples for unicorn blood printer ink cartridges.  Now I can finish the paperwork I tried to get done before our mail was picked up.  Oh, well, it can wait until Tuesday to go out...

It's kind of unseasonably warm here in Richmond, and the clouds keep coming and going in the sky.

I'm still not sure what I'm doing tonight. I did call Steve to see if he wanted to head somewhere for an early dinner, but he seemed to be in cocooning mode, so... One of the local theatres is hosting an open mic, piano bar type of New Year's Eve celebration. I may pop in there for a few. Or not.

However, while I was out earlier, I did stop to buy a can of Mrs. Fearnow's Black-Eyed Peas & Stewed Tomatoes (seasoned with Country Ham) and some sparkling grape juice.

And some lottery tickets. :)

I also took a drive through some of my old neighborhoods. One of them hasn't changed a bit. And one of them was hardly recognizable.

DR TCB - the Liberty Bowl is at 3:30 EST (about 12 minutes from now) and I have 3 different sources telling me 3 different networks.  It's either ESPN, ABC, or NBC...

We're having a small party over here on Monday for the Rose Bowl.  Betsy is a Wisconsin alum and most of the guests are Oregon Ducks, so there may be fist fights.  :)
