What's On Tap


Tonight is the big (not really) after work bash for crazy girl but before that one of the principals and I are taking her out for a goodbye lunch.  I don't know how I got roped into it....well actually I do.  Principal said he should take her out to lunch and I heartily agreed and waited for the other shoe to drop (that I should attend) but he didn't say anything of the kind.  Woot.  I'm going to be spending the evening with her and surely that's enough.

Nope.

He came back from reception and said that when he invited her, she asked if Josie could come too.  OMFG.  I was like erm....um.....alright.  Biatch!  I sent her and email saying wtf and she replied about how I'd make it fun.  I'll make her ass fun! lol  It's free food, so there's that, but sheesh. 

Oh and because of a last minute change I'm hosting Noodles' annual superbowl party.  I'd done it for quite a few years but since I joined my poker league last year, I stopped.  This year I also declined because the big end of year league tourney and bash is on Saturday all day/night and I didn't want to kill myself cooking for a huge party the next day as there wouldn't be enough time.  Nope, I definitely wasn't doing it, even though they asked.  More than once.  When I say no it's no!

But.....

The guy would finally agreed to host it has Direct TV and Direct TV lost their contract with channel 7 so DTV viewers no longer get channel 7.  Anyone want to guess which channel is showing the Super Bowl?

Yup.  Fawk.

So I agreed but said I wouldn't have time to do my usual truckload of cooking and they were fine with that.  I'll still make stuffed jalapenos, stuffed mushrooms, a spiral ham and deli platters.  Someone is bringing pizza so no one will starve.  Plus I'll be baking a homemade dessert - not sure what yet.

The Saturday before is the huge league finale and that's the game that I'll be focusing on.  I soooo want to win the end of year game, as much for the glory as for the huge cash prizes.  There will be "free" food and booze courtesy of league dues, but I will be abstaining from free drinking <---miracle right there, to keep me sharp for the win. :)

If I don't post tomorrow, it's because something horrible happened to me tonight at Beerworks.  Pray for me!

Josie

PS Haven't played all week on Black Chip Poker, but I'll be getting my groove on over there Friday night.

I read all of that and the only phrase that sticks out in my mind is

"I'll make her ass fun"

Have a great time tonight at the Bar.
I'm thinking of having a small get together for the big game myself, but I'll buy pizza and wings and someone will bring some good BBQ and the world will be happy.
Oh, and booze :)

Who is her mother's daughter? Doubt it is your big sister. How can you rest knowing that there may be a guest that doesn't leave bloated?

But, I am glad to see you won't be doing much cooking. I mean, this isn't important like the Feast of Saint Anthony, so only cooking for hours instead of days is appropriate.

Point well taken Ken. Damn, you're good. I have to deal with all those confusing emails you've sent me - don't send anymore! :P

VJ - I had a similar reaction to Ken's when reading the list of stuff you planned on cooking. I'm wondering what kind of spread you do when you've got a bit of time.

Anyhoo, enjoy Saturday and Sunday (esp. Sunday!) GO P A T R I O T S !

Well all that stuff is kinda quick stuff. I deleted all the long cooking stuff like lasagna, stuffed shells, meatballs, twice backed potatoes, chicken parm...all that stuff is what takes so long.

If we did pot luck, we'd have 16 bags of cheese curls!

You get asked to host a party at the last minute, you agree, and you feel obligated to knock yourself out cooking and preparing for the party? Does the word "potluck" mean anything to you?

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
