The weekend and week so far
Jan. 10th, 2012 08:28 am1. Pooped? You bet ya
2. Friday, my day off, was the running around thing, picking up food platters and such from Costco, Trader Joes, Safeway, and Smart and Final, and BevMo
3. I am a very good "make a list" kind of guy. I had my list in 4 columns. If the Safeway column did not have the item, then cross it out, and see if the other store had that same item listed under them.
4. For some reason, I did however purchase 2 large bottles of Rum (BevMo and Costco) don't know how that happened. I don't even drink the stuff. Good thing it does not spoil. LOL
5. Saturday was picking up loose items (including the extra Rum), ice and such.
6. One guest arrived 30 minutes early, to bring some folding chairs, in case of need. I just got out of the shower, and had not even had time for a nap! LOL
7. Of the 30 guests invited, the RSVP list came to 17. And that was plenty!
8. I of course had too much food (wanted to be prepared in case the other 5-6 maybe's or those that said No, had been able to make it). There is more stuff in the freezer that I never used, which will use for another time. I know I gained a few pounds. Too many chips, dip, candy, chocolate, and, and, and.....
9. I think the party turned out pretty good. Not sure if all enjoyed their time, but think they did.
10. Friends helped along the way through the evening which was great.
11. Thank God the apt next door was vacant. That gave me an extra fridge, and counter top for use (If I ever win the lotto, my first requirement would be to have, 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers, 2 washers, and 2 dryers in my sprawling home)
12. Many had not been to my place. Some of the younger probably thought they were visiting Granny's home, with the some of the antiques, Victor Talking machinesl and all. LOL
13. Most everyone was gone by midnight. I was up till 3 am gathering up stuff, cleaning. Wired from all, I did not sleep well. Was up early to do the task of putting away the Christmas stuff
14. That took over 4 hours. I thought it would of gone faster.
15. I was in bed asleep by 10 pm Sunday, exhausted
16. I skipped gym on Monday, and was in bed early again that night.
17. But now the place is back to normal. No tree, no decorations. The place looks bigger!
18. I really was out of practice for the party thing. It is a lot of work, but glad I did it. Think I'll do a Spring/Summer party :)
19. Up early today to go to Kaiser to give blood for my annual physical. Fast and painless. The only hard thing is fasting for 12 hrs the night before. Hungry now!
20. Off to eat. Have a happy day!
