So Thursday we got out of work early at 3:00. Well, by the time I finished what I was doing at the time we were told we could go and then cleaning up my desk it was actually 3:20 that I got out of there. Anyway, HDiTty and I had planned on meeting up with our friend Pat and going to see a movie. Since I got out early we confirmed with him that he was ready to go and we picked him up then went out for dinner at a Chinese restaurant that we don't get to very often since it's a decent drive away. All of us had an excellent dinner and HDT and I had enough left over for another meal or two each.
After that we headed out to go see True Grit. That is one excellent movie I must say. I've never read the book it's based on nor have I seen the original movie with The Duke. And I probably never will see that one as I don't really care for John Wayne. But what I've read of this remake it's closer to the book anyway so why would I want to see the other? Anyway, everyone in it is really good and the girl (Hailee Steinfeld) was absolutely wonderful.
Since none of us were tired and True Grit got out with enough time we decided to go see Tron Legacy in 3D as well. Which was ok, but I didn't expect much from it anyway as the original was pretty darn bad/campy. But I definitely liked seeing Michael Sheen, his character was a lot of fun to watch.
After that we took him home and hung out for a little bit until both HDT and I started to get really tired so we headed on home.
Friday after we got up and had some breakfast I got ready to go do some well needed shopping and HDT went into work to complete some projects he needed to do. After putting away the groceries, ect. I decided I'd start in on the tree since I didn't know when HDT was getting home and I wanted as much as possible off it. I couldn't help myself, Jersey Shore was on the tv when I turned it on and I got sucked into the ridiculousness of it all. But it was like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away.
Anyway, I put a sheet down in the middle of the room and had to sort of lift/drag the tree on to it since the base still had water in it. By the time I got all the ornaments and lights off it seemed like there were more needles on the sheet/floor than there were on the tree. That is one dry tree. Since I couldn't take it out of the stand by myself I left it there and started to do some other cleaning. I had texted HDT at one point to find out when he'd be home and he didn't have a clue so when my stomach started growling I heated up my Chinese and had dinner while still watching Jersey Shore.
Pretty much at the same time I was finishing my meal HDT gave a call to say he was on his way home and Jim was following him. So they took the tree the rest of the way down and out to the curb wrapped in the old shower curtain HDT had just changed and the sheet I had put it on. Both of them were hungry so I heated up his left over Chinese for them. Then as they were eating they started to talk about what we'd watch and since we didn't finish Resident Evil: Extinction the other night we decided we'd watch that. Then Jim said that the 4th one - Resident Evil: Afterlife should have been released on Tuesday. I went online to check and sure enough it was out. So HDT called up Walmart to make sure they had it before we went all the way out there and they did so we went all the way out there.
And of course while there we did a little more shopping, including getting Southern Comfort which is what HDT prefers to do shots of. Since we already have Jaeger for me and Rumplemintz for Jim we were set. When we had walked in the doors of the store there was a display of freshly baked bread which triggered the "I want a sandwich" switch in the guys' brains so we grabbed a loaf of it and the guys chose what meat they wanted and then we did the rest of the shopping. By the time we got home it was 11:30.
I grabbed everything needed to make the sandwiches and brought it downstairs while the guys set up the table. We decided to play a game: Munchkin Bites while eating. During that it turned midnight so we did a shot of Jaeger, then SoCo then Rumplemintz. The Rumplemintz almost made me hurl, the others I had absolutely no problem with. I took a couple bites of the bread (I was not having any sandwiches - still too full) and that helped settle everything down. At midnight mountain time we had a Hanging Nazi shot (1/2 Jaeger and 1/2 Rumplemintz) that went down a little easier.
After we finished the game we finished watching Extinction then put in Afterlife. I was ready for bed within the first 10 minutes. HDT was ready as well, Jim was gonna stay behind to finish it, told him to lock up when he left. But then as I was getting ready to get up something in the movie caught HDT's eye and he ended up staying up to watch the whole movie.
Saturday we slept in late and then were lazy for most of the day watching tv. At one point Wayne texted me about the UFC fights so we decided to go ahead and get it. So I then texted all the rest of the brothers to let them know. Mom called me pretty much right after that since she knew I was at the least near my phone (Roy lives with her). While talking to her Jason called and Wayne texted back. HDT also gave Jim a call to see if he'd come over to help him with the tv and other electronic crap that I hate working on with him.
While they did that I cleaned up the kitchen. They realized they needed some things from Home Depot so they ran out to do that and while there HDT saw a rug that he really wanted so he got it. It is gorgeous, dark colors and leaves all over. So I'm really happy with it too. While they were finishing up Scott and his son showed up and then not long after that Wayne did. We quickly finished straightening up and then settled down to watch the Prelims. Jason and Roy showed up just before, maybe just after, the main fights started. Amazingly enough, for a card that didn't have any real big fighters going at it, although there was a title fight, and we almost didn't get because of that reason it ended up being really good. And not just because I was feeling good after having a mudslide either.
After the fights everyone left but Jim. I went to bed just after one and when I woke up some time later I noticed HDT still hadn't come to bed. I look at the clock and it's almost 7:00. I texted him "srsly" and he comes back asking me to come downstairs. I confirmed Jim was gone (only in my sleepshirt and panties) and went down. As I walked through the living room I see that they had brought the old rug up and put it in there (looks good) and the old green rug was now in the kitchen in front of the sink. The new rug had been put down along with the small new rug that matched it was at the bottom of the stairs. Also he had straightened out the DVD's and did a little more as well.
After telling him that he did a great job, that I really like the new rug and fed and watered and bathroom breaked the dog/cats I went back to bed. He came up shortly after. I set the alarm to make sure we wouldn't sleep too late and miss the kick off of the Saints game at noon. I ended up waking up at 9:45 and couldn't go back to sleep although I stayed in bed petting the cat and dog until almost 11:00.
I finally got up and started making bacon and eggs for breakfast. At 11:35 I woke up HDT for his first alarm. Then his own alarm kicked in about 11:45. We watched the sad, sad game but still not a big deal that they lost since Atlanta won theirs. Then we turned on the Bears/Packers game. I got a little bored with it so didn't pay that much attention to it. Then a little after 5:00 I made us dinner. We watched a 48 Hours Mystery that had been in our DVR since November. After that it was close to the time for the night game, which would determine who the Saints will be meeting in the playoffs next week. Turns out it'll be Seattle, which should be, knock on wood, a fairly easy enough game. At least it shouldn't be a struggle as so many of them have been lately.
It was a pretty boring game but HDT did more cleaning/decorating of the basement while I continued to read the last Dark Tower book and help him on and off. I must say, he did a really good job. Although it's not the "grown up" living room I'd like it is a "grown up sports room." Heh
Media quote of the day:
Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls if you'd be so kind. - Castor/Zeus - Michael Sheen - Tron Legacy
Well, I was gonna do a quote from True Grit as well but unfortunately there isn't any on IMDB and that's the only place I trust in getting one. So, so be it.

New Years Eve 2006 into New Years Day 2007
Well, I crawled into bed around 7:20 this morning. I first set my alarm for 3:20 to give us 8 hours sleep. H Ditty asked what time I was setting it for and when I told him he said to set it for 12:20 so that way we don't sleep the day away. I did it but said that there's no way either of us are getting up at that time.
The alarm goes off, I hit the snooze button and Cry Baby, who had been laying across my stomach, moves up to lay across my head. He loves to lay anywhere he can over my head cutting off my oxygen. After about the 3rd alarm he and I settled into a comfortable snuggling position. My arm was wrapped around him but could easily reach out and slap the snooze button as needed. A full hour later I tried to wake HD up and as he was rolling over to face away from me he says, "You were right, I was wrong." I had to laugh. But I got up anyway.
I'm thirsty and have the slightest of headaches. I was a good girl and drank two complete bottles of water (so just over 33 ounces) and took some Motrin before going to bed so I don't have an actual hangover, just a slight headache.
We had been "arguing" back and forth for over a month on whether we were going to have people over for N.Y.E. It had been mentioned to several family and friends that we may be doing it but weren't positive. Saturday evening HD finally agreed to have just his two sisters and their respective dates and 3 of our friends over. His older sister never showed up but that was almost expected. His younger sister called to say she wasn't feeling well so she & her boyfriend were going to have to decline. Our friend Caryn came over around 4:30 to hang for a little bit and exchange our Christmas gifts. Because we didn't call her until Saturday night, close to midnight, she had already made plans to be somewhere else by 8ish. Our other friends, who are a couple, came with their two children: one who's 9, the other is 3. They showed up around 6ish. We weren't happy with the kids, what with any drinking that may be going on but in the end it ended up being a good thing.
We all had conversations going while the Bears game was on in the background. With them getting their asses handed to 'em by a suck ass team and it was "marvelous in our eyes." Although I'm a Bears fan, I've turned against them for the end of this season because they're now rivals for the Saints. You know, because I'm more a fan of the Saints. The kids were well behaved for the most part. The oldest was annoying her mother every now and then though. Mainly when Amy would be trying to tell me a story about some fucknuts from her work and Rose would stick her nose in.
HD made an eggnog drink for himself and Caryn but no one else was drinking yet. Around 8:30 she took off and then close to 10 Jim left to take Amy to work. Poor thing forgot to request the night off and had to go into work at midnight. She works for a 24 hour restaurant. While they were gone HD & I decided to play Uno with the girls. So I went searching for the cards and in the process found where I had stashed the small toy box I had and inside it was another card game called Rat-a-tat Cat. The little one was overjoyed to see all the cars and dinosaurs and Sleeping Beauty characters and was content to play with those. HD, Rose and I decided to play Rat-a-tat Cat instead of Uno since none of had ever played it and it sounded fun.
Oh my God people! For a child's game it was fuckin awesome. While reading the directions we all thought it sounded like Uno. Turns out it's very little like Uno. It would take too long and I'm sure you don't want the rules to have to read though so I'm skipping that part. But suffice it to say there's some things similar to Uno. As in, you want the lowest score at the end of the game. There's three ways to end the game though. One is to go to a specific total, one is to choose a specific playing time amount and the other is to end after a specific number of rounds. We chose to play the first game until Jim got back. Also, you can fuck over your oppenents like you can in Uno. Well not exactly like it but you know, you can fuck 'em over.
The first game takes place.
I lost.
Then we played the next game with Jim.
I lost.
During the 2nd game HD's younger sister, Jess, called to say she had taken a nice warm bath and felt better so she and her boyfriend were coming over afterall. They got here just before that game ended.
HD decided not to play the next game so just Rose, Jim and I did.
I came in 2nd. Woo Hoo!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that by this time I had polished off a Long Island Iced Tea. When Jess and Chris showed up I finally had someone to do Jager shots with. Chris and I did one right away. Jess then made him a mixture of Jager and some energy drink.
Chris decided to play the next game.
I lost. But I started out winning. Heh
We finally got Jess to play, she I think, thought since it was a kids game she wouldn't have fun. Don't know why since we were hooten and hollerin practically the whole time while playing.
I now can't remember where I came in anymore in any of the games because I was no longer sober.
We all did a shot, except for Jess who's pregnant and the two little ones, at midnight. Those three did a shot of water. I also had HD make me a drink called Black Magic. It's 2oz. of vodka, 1oz of a coffee liqueur (we used Tia Maria) and 2 dashes fresh lemon juice. So basically 3 shots. It was too coffeeish for my taste, can't stand coffee at all, so I added a little more lemon juice. Chris and I may or may not have had one more shot of Jager, I truly can't remember, but as I write this I don't think we did. I know we talked about it though. I told him I couldn't get it because I couldn't be trusted to move properly, let alone pour anything. Wait, wait, we did have one. After I said that, about not being able to poor he did the pooring. Hee
It's now around 1:30 or so and Jim decides it's time to get the kids home, especially since they live almost an hour away.
HD comes over to where we're playing and he, Jess, Chris and I continue to play Rat-a-tat Cat. We all agree it would be an awesome drinking game. So we've decided to come up with some rules. Chris mentioned more than once that he's planning on going out and finding it this week.
They finally left, not sure what time actually. Maybe close to 3 or 4. Neither HD nor I were ready for bed so he agreed to play another game with me. We played a movie trivia game, Reel Clues. One of the things that has to be done in it is drawing clues as in pictionary. He at first didn't want to play because of the state I was in, I convinced him that's what would make it more interesting. He ended up winning, the lucky bastard.
After, we played Trivial Pursuit the Star Wars addition. Because he's a Star Wars geek and I'm just a fan when just the two of us play we have our own rules. He has to get the pie pieces as normal, I get a pie piece anytime I get a question correct. He also has to answer all 6 questions on the card to win. I only have to answer one. I went first and promptly got my answer wrong. He goes next, and next, and next, and next, etc., etc., etc. He had all but two pieces in his pie before he finally got an answer wrong. I told him, while he was still kicking ass, that if he finished this all in one turn I get to pick the next game. I didn't tell him it was going to be one of the movie trivia games that I kick ass in, not one where he can get lucky and win. We have several movie trivia games. I love me movie trivia, if you haven't already figure that out with most of the media quotes coming from movies.
But he eventually got a question wrong and we went back and forth for a bit but of course he ended up winning. We each had grabbed half the cards at the beginning of the game and as a card was used we were setting it to the side in a discard pile. At the end of the game we put the stacks next to each other. His stack was almost 4 times the size of mine.
It was now 6:35 a.m. and we decided it was time to go to bed. I came on here and wished everyone a happy new year, we fed the cats and then crawled into bed.
Besides having to go to the grocery store at some point because we're out of almost everything, I think I'm going to veg in front of my computer and/or the tv all day. Maybe even take a nap.
