So much to say

Okay, I've got a lot to cover, so let's get started...

Last night's party was really good. Many of us met at a friends' house beforehand, and they put out a really nice spread of drinks and apps for us. Although I've occasionally mixed lime Perrier with vodka, I never thought of doing so with Orange vodka, and little slice of lime. It was a very mellow and delicious Cosmo type drink.

We were going to cab it to the club, but decided not to, as the cab company couldn't tell us when they could send a car, and it was getting pretty late. So Billy drove us downtown.

I was fairly mortified that Billy's boss put it on me to chose the wine for the evening. I really don't know wine at all, but everyone seemed pretty happy with what I chose. Thank God. Although the boss may not be that happy when the bill comes as the red was pretty expensive...

The Windsor Club has a great view of the Detroit skyline and Belle Ilse. The weather was coming in pretty good and the party broke up fairly early, but it was a really nice time.

I only had a glass and a half of wine so I drove the 5 of us back to J&S, and Billy had another drink and we decided to attempt to drive home as opposed to staying the night. This proved to be an excellent decision, as although it was freezing rain, this morning it was worse... Billy did have to drive into the city this morning, but he is assuredly less of a nervous navigator than I am... He is working now which Really Sucks.

For once, the Detroit media has seemingly not over exaggerated the storm we are having. It is really coming down and blowing. We've had about 6-7 inches so far, and more expected. Some counties getting the Lake Effect are even under blizzard warnings... yikes!

I will not discuss how I spent an hour this morning getting my mom's van unstuck, stuck then unstuck again in multiple snowdrifts. Suffice to say I was in a pretty pissy mood, AND my mom has come to the conclusion that attending church is not as important as her youngest (and most favorite) child's sanity... 'Nuff said, I'm over it, and now, with the exception of feeling bad that my husband is at work, I'm in an excellent mood.

Now for point form...

- I find the NLF pre-game coverage on FOX far superior to the coverage on CBS, and even ESPN. I prefer to watch the actual game on CBS, but lose my mind at the half or anytime that I have to hear Shannon Sharpe speak. That guy sends me around the bend!

- Why are they declaring this week's "game of the week" to be Jets at Patriots? The spread is like 26 points and it will not be very interesting. There are games that matter more than home field advantage, such as Buffalo at Cleveland, Jacksonville at Pittsburgh and Tennessee at Kansas City... anyways...

- It would be totally crazy to be at the Cleveland game today. They have almost 2 feet of snow by the end of today and wind gusts up to 50 mph. Insane! That will be a great game.

- All my cosy joggies today where still in the washing machine, leaving only my capri Eeyore joggies my only option save the Vols pajama bottoms which are in the trunk of the car and a little too cold to put on. My shins are chilly.

- I wish Billy has home. If he was here we could watch the game together, eat grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, have a nap, shovel the drive together, and end the night with left over Chinese and the Survivor finale.

- Halia is pouting over at MomG's, and apparently blaming her for the snow, and refusing to go outside. When pushed out the front door, (too much wind in the back) she stepped into a snow drift up to her belly and was not impressed. It was all too much for her, so she is now napping off her anger.

Well all in all, life is very good.
