Chromecoming ’08 Part One

So. I went to bed early last night. Seems to be something I’ve been doing lately. early to bed early to rise…but this morning the big wave of weather swept thru the plains and it came a frog strangler!!! Hail! Wind! Wet Cats! 4:30 am and we’re up, we’re awake! gah…

so the cats came in, and laid on the towel I put down for them to dry on. I did the dishes and started some laundry and facebooked a little then went back to the bed. Slept a few more hours and back up. Coffee, glorious coffee, and some sausage balls for breakfast with just a bite of dressing. I know. I’ve put the roast on to cook and am here, really, to just do a mental checklist for tonights party. I have lost some steam and by sitting here, watching the Band of Brothers marathon on the History Channnel, I feel like I”m doing something productive. Let’s see what we’ve got to do yet, shall we?

pick up house and vaccume. (just a few bits left on that)
grocery store and liquor store
prep chili and fondue
sweep out garage and set up some chairs
set up bar area in back room

methinks that’s all really. just the rest of the cooking, which can’t be done till later this afternoon anyways. so, ok. I’m doing good on time. fabulous.

I’ll just tuck in here a little while longer for some rest, then get up and get showered and go to the store.

Did I tell you I’m doing fondue? bought myself two pots yesterday. have perused the interweb for recipes, both cheese and chocolate. I’ve been hardpressed to find some without alcohol. I have recovering alcoholics in the mix tonight and while I know that the alcohol cooks out…gah. rather just not go there. anyways, I think I found two really slurpy good ones. Will report on that tomorrow!
