I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas. I put the lights outside, sparkly snowflakes on the front of the house and colored lights going up the stairs. I put a little Christmas tree (I used to put it in my office when I worked in an office) in our entry way. Lights going across the fireplace. I have more to do but I did what I could this weekend.
I had movie night on Saturday night. Okay, it wasn't as successful as I wanted it to be. I was told to find a funny movie. Now, my opinion of funny movies is that everyone finds a different thing funny. Brenda and I find very different things funny a lot of the time. She loves the Three Stooges and I can't stand them. It is like pulling out my fingernails to watch them. I spoke to a few people and was given the recommendation "Rock of Ages". It went over like a lead balloon. The group is between 60 - 35. The older folks didn't know most of the music and one of them hates Tom Cruise. The younger folk had some chuckles. The movie was not a hit with this crowd. No more funny movies! We agreed to meet up again in January.
My bookclub holiday potluck is tomorrow and I decorated. I have not yet figured out what I am making. I have to bring a vegetable. I need to work that out in the next few hours. I have to set the table and go get the flowers for the table. Then make the veg dish. I already bought the wine and drinks. I also need to get some appetizer type thing. My day is already planned out!
I will give you an update on the dinner. I am just happy I am staying healthy through this time of the year. I got a flu shot last week so I feel like I have the shield around me. Like a superhero!
Any ideas for a veg/grain side dish, let me know!
I have 5 endorsements! Don't forget to nominate me for 2012 WEGO Health Activist Unsung Hero Award! I need those endorsements!!!
Until tomorrow...
You've been a bizzy bee, Adrienne! I'll be you've already chosen your veggie dish, but may I suggest cooked brown basmati rice, steamed broccoli, and shredded cheese, mixed together and then popped into the oven for 20 minutes or so. You can add any seasonings you like; I prefer a bit of garlic salt and some Italian herbs. It's really simple and always a hit.
