A bit of fun at a party

Friday I had the place to myself, and as usually happens on the first day that I have the place to myself, I didn't get much done. Saturday was better, but I didn't do a whole lot then either as I didn't want to get too tired before the party. I finally decided on what to wear and what to bring and all of that, and spent a lot of the last two days watching reruns of The Outer Limits (nineties version).

I spent about a dollar on tomatoes and jalapenos and made yogurt cheese to go with them. My first thought was to get regular jalapenos to blend into the cheese, but then I decided that people don't like to eat green food when they can't tell what it is, so I bought one red jalapeno. But after tasting the cheese that wasn't hot enough, so after putting the cheese onto the tomato halves, I topped them with slices of regular green jalapenos. I washed out the cookie tray from last week so that I didn't have to worry about taking any dishes that might get lost if I wanted to leave early.

I need not have worried about that, as the party ended around eleven rather than one or two like I had expected. Maybe we are not allowed to use the building after midnight. I don't know. Anyway, I guess that the tomatoes were okay, as at the end of the evening I had put the covered tray and the four remaining tomatoes in the trash, only to see later that someone else had fished them out.

What can I say. Except for our host and hostess, I was the best dressed of the people who stayed in theme, though some other people showed up in nice pirate costumes. We were supposed to wear black and such, and I had black flowers and a black wedding veil from a Halloween party several years ago. Almost everyone else was in something black, and a vampire and three grim reapers showed up.

The wife of the birthday boy bought him a ring, and there were jokes about whether or not the ring was meant to be worn on his finger. Someone who has only been with us a bit over a year didn't get the joke, and actually said so out loud.

Sometimes it takes newbies a while to figure out they should keep quiet about such things. She will learn.

This morning I have a bit of a hangover, which is odd since I do not drink alcohol and I was in bed by about twelve. Last night was fun, but nothing really extreme, except maybe for the uncomfortable walk back to my car in heels. But this morning I felt really out of it and could have used a Coke, but of course on the one day that I wanted one enough to break with what I've been doing with the dollar a day thing, I forgot to get one and put it in the frig.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday, and while I have no plans I really have no idea what I might end up doing.
