Happy New Year

Just a quick note to say hey to anyone out surfing today. Had a sip or two of champagne at 11:55 pm & toddled off to bed. Poor Dick on Rockin' New Year's Eve sounded pretty rough, though. I'm sure it was a huge motivation to work really hard in rehabilitation though.

Husband is outside with my Dad playing with chainsaws & stacking wood etc. The usual man stuff. Children are at my in laws, cooking from what I hear. Birthday cake for #1 son who will be seventeen (O.M.G.- where have the years gone?) tomorrow. Blackeyed peas & something or other because that's the traditional Southern New Year's dish. Fried chicken, macaroni salad & potato salad.

This was not a good day to restart my vegetarian eating plan. I think I'll bring over some veggies & dip or salad ingredients or something. Otherwise I'll...I can't say starve because I'm plump enough to survive quite a long fast, but..I'll have to have self control or something equally adult. Perhaps I'll make a huge pot of coffee.
