HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

I have to say Chris and I had a very nice evening together last night. I got home around 4. I had gone to the store on my way home. I wanted to make an artichoke dip I had at Betty's on Christmas eve. Anyway, I made it from memory. I forgot the green chilies so I knew it was not going to taste the same but the big mistake I made was using Miracle whip instead of Mayonnaise. It did not taste bad but very different. It was a little too mayonnaisey......funny since I did not use any. The part that made me mad was I had some stupid mayonnaise in the refrigerator!!!! Oh well, it was fine. The good part was it was so rich we did not eat too much. Chris made steak and lobster. yum! We ended up going to bed around 8:30pm. We did not go to sleep right away, if you catch my meaning, which was also a very nice way to end the year. I was asleep by 10pm and did not see any of the tv coverage of the new year parties. I tried to watch Anderson Cooper because Kathy Griffin was hosting it with him but I have to say, I love her and think she is one of the funniest standup's around but she is not all that funny when she is doing stuff like that. She was kind of annoying! I turned of Tv and fell asleep until the cats woke me up around 11 cause they couldn't take it that I was actually trying to sleep in the room with Chris! When they are not happy about something they certainly let you know!
Chris is working til 1 today. I think I am going to go to the movies at 11am to see Doubt. It is playing up the street and I need to get my new Harkins tshirt (you get free popcorn all year when you buy one, it's only $20. so it pays for itself after about 4 movies cause frankly I don't go to the movies without eating popcorn....ever)
Fresh and Easy did not have pork roast and I did not feel like going to another store so we are having pork chops for dinner. Chris always saute's apples and onion to put on top of the chops and I will make mashed potatoes and green beans. It's not the same as what we had as a kid but it's damned good!
Well, I am off..........to drink more coffee!
