#285 Merry Christmas 2015

Hello to Bill and Cathy and beyond!

It’s Christmas morning and for the last few years this has been my habit:  Watch the Video of Bill’s & Cathy’s year in Yellowstone!

It is an amazing film by Bill and Cathy about their year in Yellowstone (which is really about 4 months) but I’ve been watching this wonderful adventure of theirs every Christmas since 2008!  Skipped 2012 for some reason – at least I don’t have that one – HEY GUYS!  Send it to me if you have it!!!!  Anyway I usually “Boo Hoo” through most of it, but this year I made it all the way to the part where the guy says:  “THIS! Is my dream”!  Still makes a tear come to my eye!  I’m feeling especially stressed this Christmas because of work.  The schedule is all messed up and I can’t seem to get a handle on it – maybe I’m just done with it!  Millie is really pissed off because she is getting no help this Christmas from Lily or Patti as they are both away!  I feel bad for her.  She wants to quit too.  Not sure if this is the final straw!  Ugh!  I think we are short RCA’s this weekend, but I can’t find people to cover and I’m not sure of other conversations between Millie and Lily and others.  It’s a mess!

So on to better things:

Now I feel better!  I’m going to try the appetizer that Jean brought to Stephanie’s party.  It’s just pizza dough, sausage and mozzarella cheese.  I’m going to try it for The New Attitudes “Pot Luck” today and then do it again for the Christmas Dinner with Dick and Doug.  I never got a “gift” for them.  Time just got away from me with working and The Naples Group last night.  Here is the 2nd try:

I talked to Cathy and Bill and asked her expert advice.  The second try I made it “browner” with the help of olive oil and a hotter oven.  So 20 minutes at 400 does it.  Everyone ate it today at New Attitudes so it was okay the other way.  This time I had some black olives I put into it.  We’ll see how that works when we cut into it at Dick’s.

Last night I was coloring:

I thought I saved this two ways.  One with that “leather” look to it and one with out that.  So now the app lets you do other things to the pictures and gives them more definition.  So this is so much fun.  Last night we got the meeting ready much faster than I expected so I had a chance to do a little coloring.  Now I’m showing them both ways. The meeting went well and it was better attended last night than I expected.  I was pretty tired though and found myself having a hard time staying awake during the 2nd speaker.  It reminded me of the “volunteer” we had yesterday that fell asleep in BINGO.  Then he fell asleep during the music with Doug Williams!  Now I get how that happens!

So I am going to go dry my hair and then try the appetizer.  I’ll add to this later as the day progresses.  Stay tuned!
