Good morning, guys!
It's the last Friday in December.....I have no idea where this year went! And New Year's Eve is Monday night!
What are your plans for New Year's Eve this year? Are you doing anything special?
Rick has to work on Monday, but I have off work Monday and Tuesday. We're doing our standard stay-at-home-and-watch-movies thing. We'll rent 4-5 movies from On Demand and turn into bed potatoes around 5:00 or so on Monday afternoon. I'm making shrimp cocktails and our Big Sandwich to munch on. (A Big Sandwich, as we call it, is a loaf of round bread -- and I will make that Monday morning -- that we split horizontally and fill it with all kinds of meats and cheeses and tomato slices. Then we wrap it in foil and warm it in the oven until the cheese is all gooey.It's delicious.) I'm also making pan-fried onion dip and we have some crackers and veggies to munch on, too. I will enjoy a couple of margaritas, too.
About ten seconds or so before the ball drops, Rick and I will kiss; that way we're kissing in the New Year.
Oh, and I always mention this for New Year's Eve.......I always put a couple dollars into an old purse or wallet and I put the purse outside the front door. Immediately after the countdown to the New Year, I open the door and bring the purse back into the house. That way, the very first thing I do in the New Year is bring money into the house. It's supposed to give good luck and it means that you will always have money coming in the whole year. My grandmother did that for years and I've always done it, too. I don't know if it works or not, but it's part of our tradition.
