Party

We got home late from the party at Janet's house. There were 14 of us and we had a great time. Everyone brought something to eat and Janet supplied the drinks. There was so much food for those of us who could eat so little! Even the husbands followed suit and did not eat in large quantities. My crock pot of meatballs was still pretty full when we got home so guess what we are eating all weekend!
I did learn that my little tummy and my system tolerate alcohol better than most post surgical patients. They warn you that alcohol, while not encouraged, should be consumed carefully as it won't take much to effect you. I had a Kahlua and cream and some homemade Bailey's Irish Cream (yum!) and not one bit of a buzz. I don't plan to try it on a regular basis though and definitely not if I am by myself, just in case.
After we ate we played Dirty Santa. We had talked about making it dirty Dirty Santa so Chuck and I went to Christie's Toy Box for our gifts. When we started opening gifts and the first ones were nice ones we started to panic, but it turned out to be fun and the stress boobs and penis mug were a great hit. We all laughed pretty hard and when they discovered I was the one who had brought them everyone was shocked. Gee, why does everyone always think I am more innocent than I really am?!
After gifts we toasted to a wonderful group of friends and a new year and then headed home.
I am thankful for my new lease on life. I no longer hide from life -- I enjoy it!
