January 1st, 2009

It was a weird News Year Eve.........had a wonderful conversation with my cousin and my "older" friend = lots and lots of laughs and giggles in both calls. I was playing a game on the computer and the rest of the family were playing Wii (I wonder when I will be allowed to play with them - as of right now I have been asked to participate twice - whaaaa whaaaaa whaaaaaa- I want to play so badly). My daughter slipped downstairs and all of a sudden we heard this scream, and I mean scream..........."Help me, help me!!!".........all four of us, son-in-law, two grandsons and myself in different stages of modes of running ran downstairs to find out what took place. She had placed the champagne in the FREEZER!!!!!!!!! In the FREEZER!!!!!!!! When she uncorked it, it exploded......cork bouncing off the ceiling and the wonderful bubbly actually gushing and pretending to be a fountain in Las Vegas!!!!! It was right out of an I Love Lucy show. Now I know that alcohol isn't suppose to freeze, but alas, it did. It really did. I had one glass, minus the bubbles and I have to admit that it was rather flat and sad. I had purchased a movie for the adults to watch.........Burn After Reading...........well let me tell you.........don't waste your $$$ on it........we kept looking at each other to see if anyone else was enjoying it, and I do admit that we did laugh at some places, but all in all in my opinion it was a dud ...........oh well, you never know until you try, right?
Hey a wonderful New Years give-away on http://isabellang.blogspot.com/. It is the cutest tote. All done in vintage fabrics.........I want it soooooooooooo badly.
I too am planning a January give-away, just need to take pictures.........man such a wonderful camera and I just need to use it more. I am one of those "I need to......" and then I spot something else and wander off and never get the "I need to......." thing done.............but I am glad to report that I am not alone. This particular part of life seems to effect so many.
Well we are going to take down the decorations today.........sigh.........not a happy thing, huh? So maybe since I posted twice today, I might be on a roll and will actually post again.........who knows........
Smile everyone..............
